"Catalog Critic – Best Value" - The Wall Street Journal

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).

Handles: 18" loop

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.

    I bought some of these as favors for a bridal show

    by Jamie A - 10/2009

    I bought some of these as favors for a bridal shower, and ended up keeping one for myself (I deserved a prize for putting it together, after all). I was amazed by how much fits into this bag and how strong it is--I was able to walk home from the grocery store with this slung over my shoulder (thank you large handles!) containing a half gallon of milk and liter of juice, among other sundries. Try THAT with a plastic bag! The patterns are great, the storage is easy. Even in my rather eco-friendly town where seeing a reusable bag is nothing to write home about, grocery store checkers and other shoppers still comment about my bag. I'll be buying a whole set for a Christmas present to myself.

    The Mikado Flower Petals Envirosax bags do NOT app

    by Sara K - 10/2009

    0 out of 4 customers found this review helpful

    The Mikado Flower Petals Envirosax bags do NOT appear to be brown online...rather they looked black. Warning: They are brown. The return/exchange policy is very inefficient and more advantageous for the company than the consumer. I won't return to purchase any other products.

    I love this bag!

    by Jill S - 09/2009

    I love this bag! The handles are long enough to fit around my shoulder, it rolls and snaps up into a small "ball" so it conveniently fits into my purse, it holds quite a bit of groceries, it wipes clean very easily, and it's really pretty! I highly recommend Envirosax!

    LOVE this!

    by Rachel J - 08/2009

    LOVE this! So light, I always have it in my bag. Perfect for all those times you go to the drugstore or boutique and don't have all your grocery bags with you. Also, it's pretty :)

    by Diane B - 06/2009

    I love the bag, it is beautiful and so compact that I keep it in my purse. This is a great feature for me because I have a bad habit of leaving my bags in the car when I am shopping.

    I really like this bag

    by Lisa B - 05/2009

    I really like this bag. It fits anywhere when folded up, holds a lot and is easy to carry when full.

    LOVE this bag!

    by Jamie A - 05/2009

    LOVE this bag! It folds up so tiny (small enough to fit in your hand) and folds out large enough for anything you could need to carry. We gave 2 aways at a bridal shower and the recipients were thrilled. My only gripe is that they are actually much more of an army green color as opposed to the gray shown in the photo, although that may also just be my monitor. I want to buy the whole set!!

    I love the bag and have 3 that I keep in my purse

    by Frances M - 04/2009

    I love the bag and have 3 that I keep in my purse or coat pockets nd they are light weight and strong. I've had many compliments on them from other customers or baggers. One thing I found, is the handles tend to bunch up and get uncomfortable in my hand when I walk home from the store with a few items. I'm not sure how to fix that without adding bulk or weight to the bag.

    Love this bag

    by Kara S - 03/2009

    Love this bag. It is so cute and it is so small. I keep it in my purse because I always forget to bring one of my other reusable bags I keep in the car. It is so cute my mother-in-law has asked for one of her own so I will be buying more.

    by charlotte h - 02/2009

    This is a great bag! It folds up so small, I always carry it with me in my purse. It can hold a lot and I love the wide straps. It is a must have!

    These bags are the best!

    by Kami V - 02/2009

    These bags are the best! Not only are they great for the environment but they are stylish and hold twice as much as 1 plastic shopping bag. They roll up super small so they are easy to just keep in your purse and always have handy when you are at a store. Makes great gifts!!! I just gave them to a bunch of friends as baby shower thank you presents and they loved them!

    by Alisha N - 02/2009

    I have a close group of friends and we have a holiday party every year. I got each person one of these Envirosax in a print that suited their personality. They were a BIG HIT! Everyone loved them. I got two for myself! My favourite thing about using these bags is the reduction of shopping bag clutter in my car and home!

    Great shopping bag

    by Malina D - 01/2009

    Great shopping bag. Large enough to throw your back out with heavy groceries if you want to push it. Super swanky and seems like it will wash well. Long straps fit over your shoulder, which is great.
