We were blown away by the quality & style of Envirosax reusable shopping bags. They’re lightweight, portable, waterproof and surprisingly roomy - bag volume is bigger than other ultra-compacts we offer and each holds about double what you can fit in a standard plastic grocery bag. Plus, they look fantastic! What better way to spread the message of environmental sustainability than with a beautiful, eco-friendly product that you'll love using? Furthermore, they’re produced by a company fully committed to the environment (more on this below).

Product Details


Dimensions
Individual bag size: 17.70" x 15.75"
Individual rolled up bag size: 4" x 1.5" diameter

Design & Functionality
Envirosax are for the environmentally-conscious consumer who wants a practical, stylish option to plastic and paper bags. Design features include double-fabric handle for comfort, reinforced seams for added strength, and long handles for carrying over the shoulder. We appreciate the well thought-out details like care instructions printed onto the bag and patterns that extend from the bag body onto the handles.

Each Envirosax Graphic Series bag rolls up into a tiny, compact package so it’s easy to always have one with you - small enough to stow into a glove compartment or a handbag. To use, unsnap its closure tab and unroll. The bag expands to hold the equivalent of two grocery plastic bags. To stow, simply fold the bag into thirds, roll up (like a sleeping bag), wrap tabs and snap together. An added benefit of rolling the bag is that it smoothes out fabric creases and wrinkles, keeping it looking like new. Use the pouch included to conveniently and neatly stow all 5 bags (pouch snaps shut to secure the bags, and includes a handy loop).

Materials
Made of durable, waterproof, lightweight polyester, built for toughness and extra strength. Concerned about polyester? Envirosax decided on this fabric for its strength, durability and because it could be printed with colors and patterns that would not fade. Polyester is also highly compressible, allowing the bag to be rolled up into a compact size so that it's always easy to have one with you. The fabric has a soft, silky handle & resists abrasion well. The inks and dyes used in the printing of the graphic series bags are eco-friendly and NO carcinogenic chemicals are used. The printing process ensures that the bags will not fade when washed. Envirosax also produces an Organic Series of reusable shopping bags made from natural fibers like bamboo, hemp and linen.

Sustainability
Envirosax grocery bags are made to last and designed to be reused over and over again. Using them can help eliminate thousands of throwaway bags over the course of their lifetime. As with other Ultra-Compact shopping bags we carry, these innovative bags compress down to a tiny size for easy storage and portability so you’re more likely to have them with you.

As a company, Envirosax is committed in keeping up to date with sustainable practices around the world, and annually an Envirosax team member attends the International Conferences on Environmental, Cultural, Economic and Social Sustainability. Check out their website for informative sustainability education resources. Envirosax will even take back old bags and recycle them into stuffing and filler in mattresses, car seats, lounge suites and chairs.

    Fabulous

    by Kitty C - 09/2010

    The students at my school love the Envirosax graphics. Very fun, durable, light. The adults love the adult versions, very pretty, wide range of colours, like the small package they turn into. People quickly get used to the special folding techniques required, which are perhaps slightly less convenient than the stuff bags of some bags.

    My son loves this bag!

    by Kathy S - 12/2008

    My son loves this bag! He is excited to have his own bag to help carry groceries instead of my flowery bags! He is 6 and it is hard for him to fold up on his own. It is sturdy and was great for "santa" to stuff presents into and save some paper.

    These bags are too cute

    by sharon m - 08/2008

    These bags are too cute. They are strong and have great straps that don't cut into my shoulder. I also love that they are so easily washable. I use it for shopping as well as for carrying my lunch to work. Everyone comments on the cuteness.

    This bag is great for kids!

    by Laurie H - 08/2008

    This bag is great for kids! It is durable, bright and the handles are easy for my two year old to hold. My eight year old was jealous and wanted a bag of his own for his soccer items, etc. It is a great way to get your kids started with reusable bags!

    by nami s - 07/2008

    When you open the bag, the bag will have a tail which is not showed on the picture. The tail is a strip to bind the bag when you hold the bag. You can easily took it out and sew on another place. Otherwise it is very cute and compact, good for shopping.

    What can I say...I LOVE 'em ALL!

    by Karen H - 07/2008

    What can I say...I LOVE 'em ALL! So glad Reusable Bags exists...I pass your name out all the time when a surprised store clerk is amazed that I have 2-3 bags (in their rolled-up state) tucked in my small purse AND that they are so pretty! I also love the recycled 'wave tote' for trips to the Farmer's Market. A little damp produce--no problem! It wipes out easily. Thanks!! Karen H. West Des Moines, IA

    Ok, so we didn't buy this bag for a child we bough

    by Dustin W - 06/2008

    Ok, so we didn't buy this bag for a child we bought it for ourselves because it was cute. Angela, always has it handy in her purse. There have been at least 3-4 occasions where we have impulsively stopped at the grocery store and not had our pack-n-tote bags with us, and this easy to store bag has saved us from using paper or plastic bags. Great product, we are glad that it rolls up into an easy to store "emergency sack", and it gets compliments when we do use it.

    Wicked cute!

    by Lynn R - 06/2008

    Wicked cute! But very big for little kids. Still, my son loves the compliments he gets. The wide handle is great for small hands.

    LOVE THE BAG!

    by Janis U - 06/2008

    LOVE THE BAG!!! I love the quirky design (personality! personality! PERSONALITY!), the size, the lightweight fabric, the portability, the price -- simply everything about it! In fact, after my initial order, I returned to order MORE! I've received a lot of compliments and inquiries from friends, family, and people off the street, and am now the proud owner of more than several different Envirosax designs and colors. Thank you reusablebags.com for posting such a GREAT item!
