LOVE this product. I always have one in my purse and a couple in the car. Holds a lot at the grocery store, easy to clean. Great gift idea!

    Designed and introduced in 2002 as an everyday reusable replacement to disposable plastic shopping bags, millions of which are used once and thrown away daily, ACME Bags Workhorse is both stylish and tough. Its unique design is based on the classic plastic shopping bag, but is made of super strong, durable, rip-stop nylon that is virtually tear-proof.

    ACME Bags Workhorse have a truly innovative feature; it folds into its own mini-sack attached inside the bag. Once stuffed into its pouch, it measures a mere 2" 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 1.5 ounces, these lightweights perform like champs. Each bag opens into a heavy-duty, water and mildew resistant sack that is a roomy 19"x 16" x 6" and holds up to 25 lbs. With this bag you may never have to take a plastic shopping bag again.
