    Olive Smart bags are ideal for people new to using reusable shopping bags – or for those of us who have trouble remembering to "bring your own." These convenient, stylish bags fold neatly into one Stuff Sack that fits into a handbag or cup holder. The lightweight, but strong fabric, Supplex® nylon, is designed to hold up to 20 lbs per bag, with minimal risk of tearing. We like the soft, silky feel of these bags, which look more polished than many other reusable bags.

    We recommend using the the Full Sack for a full cart of groceries or the Half Sack for lighter loads.

Dimensions
Bag: 25" h x 12.5" w x 7" d (8" handles)
Individual rolled-up bag size: 3" x 4.5"
Stuff Sack: 4.5" x3.5"

Design & functionality
Olive Smart bags are a great combination of durability and style. One of the largest ultra-compact bags we offer – fill these bags up with groceries or other goods, then put the bags into the drawstring Stuff Sack and toss it back into your car or handbag, and you’ll always have the bags handy when you need them. The lightweight, but durable Supplex® nylon can withstand heavy loads and resists tearing. Sophisticated, subtle colors are designed to endure – and produced by a company committed to the environment (see below). The versatile strap length makes it easy to carry these bags on your shoulder or by hand.

Materials
Made of Supplex® nylon, a state-of-the-art microfiber designed for strength, durability and high performance. Supplex is specially engineered to have the softness of cotton, with the strength of nylon. The fabric is constructed of finer, more numerous fibers to withstand daily abuses, minimize tears, and never shrink or stretch. Designed to wick moisture and dry quickly, Supplex is ideal for transporting refrigerated or frozen items from store to home.

Supplex also has a soft, silky look and feel, and resists stains and fading.

Sustainability
Using Olive Smart bags can help eliminate thousands of paper and plastic bags over the course of their lifetime. Durable Supplex® nylon is designed to last for years, which means you’ll go through fewer bags compared to other reusable bag materials. As with other Ultra-Compact bags we carry, these bags compress down to a tiny size for easy storage and portability, which means you’ll remember to use them more often.

    Bigger than expected

     

    by Kim T - 08/2010

    Bags were much bigger than I expected. Soft. Love the colors. Handles fit over store bag racks so it is super easy to load. Holds a ton. Very happy with purchase.

    Perfect to keep in purse. Good size

    I have finally stopped "forgetting" my resuable bags in the car! I have rolled up all 3 of these to keep in my purse and gladly pull them out at whatever store I'm at. They are very generous in size. Love them!

    Great addition

     

    by Laura D - 08/2010

    These bags are great to keep in the car. The stuffsack fits in the cup holder, so I've always got them on hand. They are a bit smaller than some of my large cloth bags--these are probably a medium-size. So I need 4 or 5 of these bags instead of 3 or 4 cloth ones. But, I love the material and the ease of folding them up and keeping them in the car. I got a set for my husand too, and he loves them also. I would definately recommend these. I would also recommend getting 2 sets instead of just one, unless you are only shopping for one person.

    Have given these bags each year as Christmas presents and everyone loves that they are lightweight and durable. We use them all the time. Even love the little sack they come in to go to events with. Holds my phone, Ipod, ID's money...you get the point. Love them.

    So far, I love them

     

    by Shelly S - 07/2009

    So far, I love them. Sturdy, nice handles, and love how they look. I think I'm a little confused about the "half sack" concept. When I purchased these bags, it seemed that while I knew I was getting 3 bags, that they were different than the "full sack" bags which had different dimensions. I'm not sure now if I stupidly bought literally only 3 bags for well more than half of the "full sack" price, or if they really are different. Again, I love them, and would probably purchase more, but don't know if I'm wasting money, or if these really are different from the "full sack" bags. SO, satisfied, but also mystified.

    This was a gift for my mother for mother's day

     

    by Jen Z - 05/2009

    This was a gift for my mother for mother's day. She loves them and carries them with her everywhere now - so, mission accomplished! They are a great size and fold down to be very "transportable"!

    I love this set of bags

     

    by Shannon C - 05/2009

    I love this set of bags. They are so convenient to carry in my purse. I love the colors and the durability of the bags. I have washed my bags many times and they come out looking as good as new. Each bag can hold alot of stuff. I am constantly asked about where I got them. I highly recommend these to everyone.

    by Allison S - 12/2008

    Other than being a little pricey, these bags have been great! They are comfortable to carry and hold a lot of stuff and weight. My only problem is being able to pack my own groceries at the checkout... I think the employees are afraid to put a lot in, but I always do! I am very satisfied and would definitely recommend them 100%.

    by Brigid H - 12/2008

    This is a great little set - I have been using them for a couple weeks now and have yet to forget them when I go shopping (a big problem before). The bags are really roomy. I thought it might be difficult to get them back in to the stuff sack but it is quite simple. I ordered several sets to give as gifts this holiday. My only complaint would be that several men I have showed them to thought the colors were a bit "girlie."
