Introduced in 2002, our innovative ACME Bags® Workhorse replaces thousands of disposable plastic bags with each one. Its unique design - based on the classic plastic shopping bag - proved to be a customer favorite, and paved the way for ultra compact bags from companies like Baggu, Flip & Tumble and ChicoBag.

Part of our ongoing mission is to incorporate truly sustainable fabrics into our ACME Bags™ line, from our new Eco Circle Workhorse to our Silicone Shopping Set.


Product Details

Dimensions:
2" x 3" x 2" pouch
19" H (including handles) x 16" W x 6" D unfolded

Design & Functionality
The ACME Bags™ Workhorse 1500 has a truly innovative feature - it folds into its own mini-sack attached inside the bag. Once stuffed into its pouch, it measures only 2" x 4" 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 21"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.

Materials
Made from ultra-durable, lightweight, rip-stop nylon.

Sustainability
Super durable and machine washable, this bag will get countless uses and eliminate the need for thousands of use-and-toss bags over its lifetime. All of our reusable bags are built to last, helping you save both money and natural resources.

Cool Fact
The "1500" in this product's name refers to the fact that this bag has the potential to eliminate more than 1,500 plastic bags over its lifetime.

I bought these three years ago. They tear easily around the opening seams.

by Ann P - 09/2009

Wonderful bags! I keep one in each car, one in my purse, and two in my Reisenthal market basket. These deceptively small bags sure do hold plenty. Perfectly priced too, especially if you buy a few. Cool stocking stuffer idea!

by Sarah M - 09/2009

I bought several of these just over a year ago. They're light and fit in my purse easily but have all started to fray/rip at the top seam. I'm pretty sure I haven't overloaded them. They're still usable but I'm here today to buy another brand.

by helen t - 09/2009

I bought several of these as I have had for 4 years two that came as a free gift from my local credit union. I chose them as I thought the built in stuff sac a great idea (as i am always hunting for the little sac that came with my freebies) and is separate from the bag. However whilst my freebies are still going strong, two of my acme bags have frayed at the bottom corner seams and left sizeable holes which I have now fixed. I wrote to reusable bags about this who were not particuarly apologetic or surprised. From what they claim to hold I certainly have never overloaded them, so for this reason won't be buying any more of these or making more purchases from this company. A shame.

I love these, but watch out for dye bleeding in the wash. I assumed they'd be colorfast and tossed them in with some whites. Ooooops!

by Evelyn L - 07/2009

The tuck in flap on this bag didn't last a year. The seams are coming apart and it is fraying. This bag is used only when I run out of canvas bags so it has hardly been used. I'm disappointed.

the bags are light weight but stronge and mimic the plastic sacks in stores. This means the cashier does not have to struggle with strange bags and can place them in the same way as the plastic bags for loading.

by Kimberly I - 11/2009

I purchased this bag for an extra to go with my set of four silicone lined ACME bags. This bag is nice but doesn't feel as strong as the silicone lined bags. I still love it for everyday uses like an extra book bag for work or carry a lunch in it just fine. I have even used it as an extra clothes bag at my son's preschool and at the gym. It is soft and shiney. I have people asking me about them where ever I go. Nice product for the price. I also have bought the set of 4 for Christmas gifts for my entire family. Saving the world one bag at a time.

This is a great little bag

by Mom H - 10/2009

This is a great little bag. I use reusable bags all the time (reisenthel) and love them but wanted to get something smaller and in black for my husband to use. He is much more likely to grab the Acme since it's so small. A great gift, too.

This is my second order of this product

by Michael H - 10/2009

This is my second order of this product. I really like reuseable shopping bags. I have some that are MANY years old. The problem is remembering to carry them to the store. These, I use, then refold and put in my briefcase. They are always handy.
