I love this bag. I have a family of three and it's a prefect beach bag. We use it for all of our day trips. It's the prefect size.

I love the size of the bag and the handles (GREAT re-use of seatbelts! Brilliant!) and that it comes in variations of red, my favorite color. And the durability is a big plus.

One-of-a-kind style

Alchemy Goods Ad Bags are handmade in small quantities & certain colors will occasionally be unavailable. Keep in mind that no two are alike - the color scheme you select represents the predominant color in the bag. The bag you receive will look different from the bags shown on our site - it may be a solid color or it could have a design printed on it.. Our pictures are examples of past bags we've had in stock and they are meant to give a general idea of the bag's size and shape. We think you'll love the unique variety of each recycled bag as much as we do.

Cool Fact

The material used to make Recycled Ad Bags is super strong recycled vinyl mesh. The material was printed on and then lashed to the sides of buildings to promote various products. These original ad banners were designed by the brightest minds in marketing, so each bag features eye-catching color schemes. Seatbelt strap handles and inner tube grips are also totally recycled. We also dig the logo, intentionally designed to look like an element from the periodic table. Check out the number in the logo's upper right hand corner… it represents the percent (by weight) of recycled material used to make the bag.

    This is a very strong, big bag

    by Jennifer L - 01/2009

    This is a very strong, big bag. I am a schoolteacher and I use it to carry students books home to mark. It does the job perfectly and is exactly what I needed. however, I was initially drawn by the brightness and the idea that it would look like it used to be an advertisement. Unfortunately mine is plain cream all over. A bit boring. Still it is an excellent bag.

    I love this bag!

    by Alicia D - 12/2008

    I love this bag! I can fit a ton of groceries in it and the seatbelt strap still makes it comfortable to carry. The bag looks great and wipes clean easily if you have a spill.

    I bought three recycled ad bags ad in blue, yellow

    by Erin C - 10/2008

    I bought three recycled ad bags ad in blue, yellow, and green. Although they do not look like what I had imagined, I still think they are cute and are (so far) very durable. The bags I received are darker in coloring than what was pictured. The yellow bag is definitely the cutest to me! I also thought the bag would be bigger width-wise but dont be mistaken, this is not a small bag! The bags have worked great for holding groceries and for general shopping/errands. I'd def recommend these bags!

    This Bag is so awesome

    by Deb I - 09/2008

    This Bag is so awesome. At first, when I received it, it had to grow on me. However, I was so thrilled when I saw that the straps were truly old seat beats! It is such a sturdy bag and fits well on my shoulder. Also, I get alot of compliments on its uniqueness. In short, this bag rocks.

    Nice look and sturdy

    by Valerie T - 09/2008

    Nice look and sturdy... the type of bag that's fun to take the the Farmer's Market. I prefer ACME Bags™ - EarthTote™ Reusable Shopping Bag for normal grocery shopping... shaped more like a regular grocery bag, can hold more, and much less expensive.

    by pamela h - 07/2008

    A Terrif bag, both in concept, design, and execution! Utilitarian, a "feel-good" purchase, and one that is quite eye-catching to boot. A winner.

    by Debi G - 07/2008

    I just received my blue recycled ad bag and I just love it. The colors are great! These bags can hold all your groceries, the construction is the best. I now have two. Not using the pastic bags in the stores makes me feel like I am helping in some small way, so thank you reusablegags! Also I did return one bag because of the color and the customer service was wonderful and I was given a new bag that I loved. Spread the word these bags help our environment. Debi G.

    Eh, not that great

    by Dorcas C - 07/2008

    Eh, not that great... I expected more of a pattern on my bag (I realize each are uniquely made), something along the lines of the one on the website. Unfortunately for me, mine was solid red and after a bit of use, starts looking pretty shabby. Nice concept but could be improved upon a bit.

    by Angela P - 07/2008

    I have ordered a few different bags, but my favorite is definitely the recycled ad bag. It's the most versatile with it's ability to stand upright and stay open while I grab things to put in. I've used it for everything - from the farmer's market to shopping for clothes to transporting items. The handles have a rubber handle to them which makes them easy to grip. Also, you know you can put stuff in there and not worry about it ripping at the seams. I've carried 3 gallons of water in it and although it's definitely heavy, I'm confident with the workmanship. This bag is a great idea and honestly one of the most well made reusable bags out there today.

    I love, love, love this bag

    by Laura B - 07/2008

    I love, love, love this bag. It's large enough to carry my purse in and light enough to not kill my shoulder while I'm carrying it. The strap length is just right. I've gotten many compliments on it since I started carrying it every day. People really like the fact that it's made from recognizable recycled materials. I'll probably be buying another for my daughter so she doesn't steal this one.

    I love this bag!

    by Hope B - 06/2008

    I love this bag! My only markdown would be that I ended up with a plain red bag and I wish the bag stood up on it's own (gussetted). I will be ordering another one though - hopefully next time my bag will be more interesting.

    I loved my Ad bag!

    by jane h - 06/2008

    I loved my Ad bag! I use it as my carry all bag, my purse, my shopping tote and everywhere I go, people fall in love with it. I am glad reusablebags.com sent me the card with their info! I could use more ! I pray that more and more people begin to understand that throw away is NOT the answer! Recycle IS!!! Thanks for what you do to help!
