Design & Functionality
The reuseit Bluesign Workhorse has a truly innovative feature - it folds into its own mini-sack attached inside the bag. Once stuffed into its pouch, it measures only 4" x 3" x 2", easily fitting into the palm of your hand and small enough to stash in a purse or pocket, so you will always have one handy. Plus, it is impossible to lose the storage pouch since it's attached to the bag. Weighing in at only 1.5 ounces, these lightweights perform like champs. Each bag opens into a heavy-duty, water- and mildew-resistant 19"x 16" x 6" sack and holds up to 25 lbs. With this bag, you may never have to take a plastic shopping bag again.
Compact and durable, our reuseit Recycled PET Stuff Sack was designed to make remembering your reusable shopping bags easy. Bucket-shaped, it leaves lots of room for five or more ultra-compact shopping bags or string bags. Barrel lock keeps contents secure. Made from safe recycled plastics. Also makes a great snack bag.

seams tear quickly
These are horrible. I have no idea why anyone would have given them a five star review. I only used them a few times and did not carry much weight. But the seems began to tear apart on two of the bags. Wish I had never bought them or that I had used them earlier so that I could have a chance to return them. Am seeking another alternative.

Love it!
These bags are so amazing! They fold up so nicely and they hold an unbelievable amount!!! And the bag that comes with them can hold at least 4 more bags! It's such a good price for what you get too!

excellent
we first bought these shopping bags a few years ago, and have just recently re-ordered again,as one or two originals are starting to wear thin now...love these bags; excellent and long lasting,strong but easy to carry when full, washable and so easy to keep in your bag for use when needed...they have been well used here for any and all kinds of shopping!

Compact and simple
Finally no more plastic bags!! I was tired of bringing home so many plastic bags cluttering up my closet. Now with these 3 bags (and carrying sack) I'm able to comfortably carry my groceries to my home. Bags fold up to be very small, easy to wash out and dry. I keep the whole set on the door handle to grab when needed for trips to the store. I also use one to lug breakfast and lunch stuff to work. Excellent purchase and easily to recommend to others.

Christmas shopping in June
I purchased several of the workhorse bags for myself several months ago. They are so handy, small and useful that I ordered some for each of my daughters and daughter in law to use as stocking stuffers this coming Christmas. Feels great to be ahead in the shopping department and to have such fun goodies to stick in their stockings!!

2 out of 3 were great
One of the blue bags has already torn apart at a handle. The other two seem fine and I have a black one and a red one that I have had for years w/ no problems.

Excellent space saver
I have purchased many reusable bags including cotton totes but the workhorse bag is my favorite. I can store 10 workhorse bags in the space of one of my other totes. They compress easily to fit back into the attached bag and are very easy to clean.

Incredible bags
These bags are thinner than I expected, but also pack much smaller. They weigh very little and are easy to carry around. They open to the same size as the plastic grocery bags, but they're much much stronger and I'm comfortable putting nearly twice as much in them. Also, the handles are nearly 2 inches wide and are much more comfortable in my hand when the bags are very full (the weight of the full plastic bags on their thin handles was rather painful after a short period of time, these are comfortable much longer.) They seem to be well made and of course I love that they're fair wage/fair labor. I absolutely recommend them. A pack of four is more than enough for a single person or a couple shopping for food for a week at a time.

Great Product
I almost never use plastic bags any more, since I now use these fabric bags all of the time. They easily squish together and fit into my purse. Because they fold down so compactly, I leave four of them in my purse, which handles most of my shopping needs. They aren't quite as inexpensive as the fabric bags that Walmart sells, but they are holding up quite well. And who knows what the Walmart bags are made of?

Looooove them.
These bags are the best for sticking into even a small purse and they are amazingly strong! I sometimes carry 15+ pounds of groceries in one bag. The clerks at the store think they're going to break, but time and time again I can make it home the 5 or so blocks I have to walk. Plus, they make incredible gifts because most people are using plastic bags daily! Those I give them to end up loving them as well.

Love so much bought as gifts!
I bought these bags about three years ago and LOVE them! They are small and fit in my purse so I always have them when I am shopping. The one bag has frayed a little at the seam near the handle but is still functioning just great! I bought more as gifts for friends of mine and they too love the product. Durable, small when in pouch and convenient. Thank you and will by more when my less durable bags wear out! Or maybe more gifts!!

Awesome!
Every time I take these bags out of my (admittedly small) purse and use them, at least one store employee comments on them. First, some are impressed that I can carry three or four of them in my purse. Second, they are surprised to see how much they hold. And third, there are still few people in my area who bring their own bags, so some are just stunned by that. I am ever so pleased with this purchase, and I recommend them to everyone who notices them.

I have several of these now and have given these as gifts to friends and family. Very easy to carry and use when needed. I always have at least one with me. Makes me feel good not to create more garbage.
