Introduced in 2002, our innovative ACME Bags® Workhorse replaces thousands of disposable plastic bags a year 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 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.

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

Sustainability
Our wide range of reusable bags are built to last, which saves both money and natural resources. This bag can help you eliminate thousands of plastic bags over its lifetime, and choosing products made from 100% post-consumer recycled fiber promotes a more sustainable path for polyester. Because Eco Circle is a closed-loop recycling system, it eliminates waste and decreases oil consumption. For example, recycling 3000 shirts with Eco Circle will reduce energy consumption by 84% and CO2 emissions by 77%.

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.

About ACME Bags™

All made from sustainable, high-performance materials and in accordance with fair labor / fair trade practices. All ACME Bag are backed by a 100% Lifetime Guarantee against defects in materials or construction. Read more...

by Barbara S - 09/2009

LOVE these bags. This is my second set as I thought I had lost a couple that I've been using for over a year -- found those so now I've got plenty. These bags are very sturdy and hold a lot. I sometimes have to convince the bagger at the grocery store that he really can put everything into one bag! They are very easy to repack into their little pouches and toss into glove compartment, purse or pocket. Highly recommended.

I really like these bags! They are surprisingly strong, and very compact. I just throw them in my purse without even putting them in the little pouch. I use one as a lunch bag everyday too! Excellent product, well worth a few extra bucks to not buy the cheapy ones available at stores!

by Barry E - 08/2009

Well, I've been using these bags for a couple of years. The fact that I care 8 of them in each of my vehicles should speak volumns about how much I like them. I've loaded them down and they just keep on truckin. They also fit the hoops that the plastic bags use making them very easy to fill.

I love these bags

by Shelah S - 07/2009

I love these bags. No, I lurve them. I live in New York City and end up shopping or shlepping almost daily; I always keep a couple of them in my lurvable Timbuktu backpack (also purchased from resuablebags.com) and use them all the time. They're sturdy and strong hold a surprising amount of stuff. They've also cut my plastic bag consumption by at least 85%. How do I know? Because nowadays I never have enough plastic bags in my pantry to line my little kitchen garbage can. I'm so grateful to the friend who introduced me to them -- I now buy multiple sets and hand them out to colleagues and friends.

I purchased these bags several months ago

by Ingrid P - 06/2009

I purchased these bags several months ago. I was tired of all the plastic bags from stores and I was always forgetting my other bags in the car. The ACME Bags fold up so easily and fairly compactly. I have 4 in my purse and use them all the time. The material is very soft so it compresses nicely. I have received positive comments from store clerks regarding the bags as well. The price is hard to beat. The fancy styles are fun to look at, but for under $20 your can't go wrong.

by Nicole M - 06/2009

You have no idea exactly what my love for these entail, but they are magnificent. We bought ours a year ago (3 of them, just to see what they were like) and I want more! The color doesn\'t fade, and holy crap you can fit a lot of stuff in there! They look sharp as well. I like them because they are durable, they have so far suffered through a lot of wear and tear, and are very environmentally friendly. We\'ve used them from everything from an impromptu lunch bag, transport from one person\'s house to another, moving stuff, buying things from Sam\'s club (serious, these are so nice for some of the smaller things there or the produce there), and of course the grocer. I\'m going to be hitting up the farmer\'s market here in a bit once I get off the interwebs with them. When we first got them, we were kind of reluctant to take them anywhere but to whole foods and got some weird looks from the cashiers when we said we brought our own bags. (We live in Cincinnati) But now since suddenly out of the blue, Cincinnati has figured out that this is a good thing, I feel much better about taking them with us. I only have issues with folding them back into the little pouch, it looks like it\'s simple, but at times, it\'s much like a rubik\'s cube.

These bags are great!

by Elisabeth L - 06/2009

These bags are great! They fold into themselves for easy storage and make it simple to take one with you...now if I can just remember to actually take it with me!! I used several bags on a recent supermarket trip and they fit right on the bag carousel. Highly recommend.

These are great reusable bags

by Kristin H - 06/2009

These are great reusable bags...very strong and larger than a standard plastic grocery bag. I was able to fit the usual amount of groceries in half as many bags and still was able to carry them (not too heavy.) I love the orange color too...they are so bright I never miss them as I am walking out the door to the store. And I got two sets (total of eight bags) for a great price. I highly recommend!

by Andrew H - 05/2009

I had been thinking about getting reusable bags for a while, to get a little greener and to not have to save up so many plastic bags before heading to the recycling station. I finally go on it and picked up these Acme bags. They're great. I keep some in the glove compartment of my car so they're available whenever I stop by the grocery store. They stuff into the little pouch fairly easily so they don't take up much room. They hold a good amount of groceries and seem strong - definitely stronger than the plastic grocery bags. I think I'll pick up some more for my wife. No more disposable plastic bags (if I can help it)!

These bags are just the right size for me

by Terry M - 05/2009

These bags are just the right size for me. I have one hooked on my wallet so it goes everywhere with me, my roommate has started doing the same thing so when we do unplanned shopping we still have our own bags with us. They hold much more volume AND weight than I expected. They wouldn't do for an entire weeks shopping but I have other bags for that, I wanted something compact and easy to carry and that's exactly what I got.

These bags are a great product

by Joelle W - 04/2009

These bags are a great product. I love the red color. They seems like they'll hold up well - and I stuff them very full.
