The XL Koren Bag is one of the biggest bags we offer - clever bucket shape creates an extra-roomy interior. Unlined and super durable. Its heavy-duty construction provides another benefit: these shopping bags can stand on their own to facilitate easy loading. Fits 2-3 times what a standard paper grocery bag can hold.

Once used for carrying commodities in Southeast Asia, the rice & feed bags used to create these one-of-a-kind pieces have been 100% recycled into a new life as stylish shopping totes. Each is skillfully crafted in small batches by a fully certified Fair Trade Co-op in Cambodia. Constructed with tough-as-nails material, details include box-stitching at stress points. All bags feature authentic prints & colorful dyes that will beautifully fade with wear.

One-of-a-kind style: because these bags are handmade in small quantities, please be aware that certain colors may occasionally be unavailable and original prints will vary from bag to bag. The pictures on our site are meant to show the general look and we think you'll love the unique variety of each recycled bag as much as we do.

Cool Fact
Fair Trade Certified products guarantee a living wage to people in developing countries. Each bag sold helps provide sustainable living to Cambodian weavers & producers, many of whom are disabled / economically disadvantaged single mothers supporting households. This translates into a better life for many who have been disabled from polio or landmine injury, or pulled from brothels & taught a trade. Produced under the Fair Trade Certified label, these creations bring fair trade into the fashion world while helping people across the world improve their lives.

p.s. The initial odor that these bags have DOES go away. Just let it air out a bit. I've bought them before and it doesn't take long. And I agree, I thought it was odd that the bag is described as orange when it is coral red, but I was still happy with the color.

I love this bag! I also gave one to my mom, and she is crazy about it too. It's a bit large for using to grocery shop, since the handles don't go over your shoulder, but it's great for taking to the beach, a quick overnight trip, etc. I used it to to haul things that I was selling to a holiday sale, and it was great to get it all in one bag!

I love these bags. They are very sturdy and pretty. I'm buying them for friends for Christmas.
