| I recently purchased many items from reusable bags and love, love, love every single item. The drawstring bag is the coolest. I can use it as a purse or when I go to the farmer\'s market. |

| This is a great bag! Due to a recent hip injury I've been forced to rely on a cane to walk. I was really struggling with how to carry files, books, and other things around the office, to meetings or to and from the mailroom. This bag is the perfect solution -- the backpack style leaves my hands free for my cane and a coffee cup/water bottle, respectively, or to shake hands with a new client, or whatever. It's extremely lightweight and low profile, which means it's not at all like wearing a traditional bulky backpack around, and the zip pocket in the front makes it easy to find small items like pens, wallet, cell phone, etc. Since I bought it, I've even taken to using it as my general-purpose purse for casual errands, etc. ... more |

| I love this bag. It is extremely comfortable to wear and as with all backpacks, leaves your hands free. Also no back and shoulder problems from heavy one-shoulder bags. You can also easily shorten the straps so the bag sits higher up on your back, which is what I find most comfortable. It's cute, inexpensive, and extremely functional. ... more |

Materials
We work with trusted mills that develop materials for some of the best brands in the outdoors industry - Patagonia, for example - to develop our unique, Next Generation recycled PET. We’ve done our research to insure this material is genuinely made from recycled bottles and containers – so you can be sure you’re really getting a sustainable shopping bag.
Unlike cheaper versions of recycled PET, our Next Generation Recycled PET fabric, blended with nylon, is as beautiful & strong as it is sustainable. 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.
Sustainability
This bag can help you eliminate thousands of plastic bags over its lifetime, and choosing products made from recycled PET promotes a more sustainable path for plastic. The fabric used to produce each of these bags reclaims several recycled plastic bottles/containers. Our wide range of reusable bags are built to last, which saves both money and natural resources.
Our Shopping Sets make it easy to start using reusable bags on your next grocery trip. Choose a set or browse for ideas to build your own!

I use this as my purse. Nice fabric, durable. Nice that it can handle a lot of stuff but is small when I don't have much in it. Comfy to wear. Great buy. I have both colors!

Product is okay--not the best quality, but great design. Zipper could be made stronger and material less flimsy, but very handy.

by susanne w - 04/2009
Love these bags - handsome and practical. Cannot beat the price. Gave them as part of a gift basket at a recent board of directors retreat and these folks who tend to be very picky loved them. Would buy again in a heartbeat.

I use this for when I ride my bike to the store. It's very light and soft, and it looks great. I recommend this for anyone who is a walker or biker.

by Robin J - 03/2009
I can't remember how long I've looked for something like this. I like the drawstring backpacks because they are so small and convenient but it seemed that all the ones I found were disguised ads; expensive, or made of bulky materials. This recycled fabric is silky but appears strong; the cord moves easily to close or open and it is surprisingly comfortable. I like the addition of the outside zipper pocket -- it adds the ability to separate my wallet, etc from the main compartment but doesn't add much to the weight or 'squashability'. I keep one in my bag for those spontaneous heavy purchases [watermelon, anyone?] and one in my car.

by Malakay B - 12/2008
I like the silky feel of the material and the hands-free design. Great for walking or biking to the store. It cannot compact as much as the Acme Workhorse but it still rolls up small enough to stuff in my coat pocket.
