"Catalog Critic – Best Value" - The Wall Street Journal
We were blown away by the quality & style of Envirosax reusable shopping bags. They’re lightweight, portable, waterproof and surprisingly roomy - bag volume is bigger than other ultra-compacts we offer and each holds about double what you can fit in a standard plastic grocery bag. Plus, they look fantastic! What better way to spread the message of environmental sustainability than with a beautiful, eco-friendly product that you'll love using? Furthermore, they’re produced by a company fully committed to the environment (more on this below).
Design & Functionality
Envirosax are for the environmentally-conscious consumer who wants a practical, stylish option to plastic and paper bags. Design features include double-fabric handle for comfort, reinforced seams for added strength, and long handles for carrying over the shoulder. We appreciate the well thought-out details like care instructions printed onto the bag and patterns that extend from the bag body onto the handles.
Each Envirosax Graphic Series bag rolls up into a tiny, compact package so it’s easy to always have one with you - small enough to stow into a glove compartment or a handbag. To use, unsnap its closure tab and unroll. The bag expands to hold the equivalent of two grocery plastic bags. To stow, simply fold the bag into thirds, roll up (like a sleeping bag), wrap tabs and snap together. An added benefit of rolling the bag is that it smoothes out fabric creases and wrinkles, keeping it looking like new. Use the pouch included to conveniently and neatly stow all 5 bags (pouch snaps shut to secure the bags, and includes a handy loop).
Materials
Made of durable, waterproof, lightweight polyester, built for toughness and extra strength. Concerned about polyester? Envirosax decided on this fabric for its strength, durability and because it could be printed with colors and patterns that would not fade. Polyester is also highly compressible, allowing the bag to be rolled up into a compact size so that it's always easy to have one with you. The fabric has a soft, silky handle & resists abrasion well. The inks and dyes used in the printing of the graphic series bags are eco-friendly and NO carcinogenic chemicals are used. The printing process ensures that the bags will not fade when washed. Envirosax also produces an Organic Series of reusable shopping bags made from natural fibers like bamboo, hemp and linen.
What Makes This Product Sustainable
Envirosax grocery bags are made to last and designed to be reused over and over again. Using them can help eliminate thousands of throwaway bags over the course of their lifetime. As with other Ultra-Compact shopping bags we carry, these innovative bags compress down to a tiny size for easy storage and portability so you’re more likely to have them with you.
As a company, Envirosax is committed in keeping up to date with sustainable practices around the world, and annually an Envirosax team member attends the International Conferences on Environmental, Cultural, Economic and Social Sustainability. Check out their website for informative sustainability education resources. Envirosax will even take back old bags and recycle them into stuffing and filler in mattresses, car seats, lounge suites and chairs.

| Very stylish bag! Fabric feels durable; I do have trouble folding it so it looks right and personally prefer one that folds into itself. Handles are long enough to get over my shoulder if I'm not wearing a coat. Excited to start using this fun print with my other favorites (ACME workhorse and Earth Totes). Get compliments where ever I go; clerks are always amazed at how much stuff fits into them! |
