"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).

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.

    Retro Graphic Frames Shopping Bag

    by Jeri J - 03/2010

    Love this bag! Very small when rolled up, so it's easy to keep in my purse or to travel with. The bag is very light, but holds a lot and still seems solid.

    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!

    by Sue M - 12/2008

    I purchased a set of Envirosax reusable shopping bags about one year ago, and discovered that I love them! Since that time, I've used these bags continuously for many tasks. Envirosax bags are very well constructed, very strong and quite roomy. The best feature of these bags is the very quick and easy conversion into compact, easily portable bags. I love these bags so much that I purchased several as gifts this year.

    I purchased this for my wife for Christmas

    by Aaron R - 12/2008

    I purchased this for my wife for Christmas. It was on her list, and she is the type of person who researches everything. So I knew that this was something that would hold up and last. She actually got 2 of these for Christmas, and is very excited to use them. The fact that they hold quite a bit, and actually can take the place of a couple plastic bags, that is a huge plus. You cannot go wrong with the price either, considering how much it costs to make those plastic bags, and then you usually just throw them away. With this you can do your shopping, and actually keep reusing the bag, a fantastic idea.

    The Envirosax bags are great

    by Karen L - 10/2008

    The Envirosax bags are great. I purchased a few for gifts and some for myself. After use, they fold up very easily to fit in your purse for the next grocery visit. However, the colors in this particular style--the retro graphic frames--were not quite as vibrant as shown on line. The orange appeared to be more of a rust when I received the bag.

    My most favorite reusable bag!

    by Stephanie M - 08/2008

    My most favorite reusable bag!!! This bag is stylish, large and I can fit the handles right over my shoulder. My kids can carry easily too! By far my favorite. A bit more expensive than the chico bags or the mini-maxi shopper, but WELL WORTH IT!

    I have to say I was very impressed with this bag

    by Trudy Z - 07/2008

    I have to say I was very impressed with this bag. I actually thought it was going to be about the size of a regular plastic grocery store shopping bag. It's much bigger than that. Plus it quickly & easily folds up very small. I love the way it looks. I had a hard time deciding which of these bags to buy because I love all the available patterns. One other thing that surprised me was that this bag stays on my shoulder. I always have trouble keeping bags & purses on my shoulder but this one stays put. I have no idea why but I love it. I keep it in my purse & use it everytime I shop. Definately worth the price.

    This is a great bag to keep in your purse for thos

    by Elizabeth P - 07/2008

    This is a great bag to keep in your purse for those times when you "forget" to bring a bag with you. I have the Acme EarthTotes for my grocery shopping and use this when I run into a drugstore or make a quick trip to the mall. Sales clerk are always shocked when I put this bag out of my small purse and load up all my purchases. I always get compliments on it!
