Materials
Recycled PET is a durable, eco-friendly fabric made from post-consumer recycled plastic bottles & containers. Using recycled PET is smart - it cuts down on waste & minimizes damage to the environment by conserving oil, energy & non-renewable resources. In the U.S. alone, over 45 billion plastic containers ended up in landfills in 2006. Choosing products made from recycled PET promotes a more sustainable path for plastic. Combined with rip-stop nylon, it makes for a strong, lightweight shopping bag.

I originally bought this bag to keep in my purse and pull out for impromptu grocery shopping (I live in New York City and shop almost daily in small quantities). I love it so much that it's basically replaced my purse -- it holds just the right amount of stuff for walking around town, a couple of Acme Workhorse bags for shopping; the front and back pockets are perfect for storing things I access more frequently like my cell phone, blackberry, ipod, subway pass and house keys. I just ordered it in black so I don't stand out as much in public. I sometimes wish the top opening were a little wider so that I could rummage around inside it more easily, but then again it was never intended for use as a purse. I've given this as a gift to a friend who now wears it daily to and from work. Well worth the investment!

The backpack has been very handy already. The only improvement would be to widen the opening a little. It is somewhat difficult to 'load' the bag.

This is a great bag to throw into my purse. I love the ball it forms and so easy to redo in a ball when I am finished. I use one bag as my lunch bag. It's the brown and blue and it looks so good carrying to work.
