Recycled XL Koren Bag
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. 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.
Dimensions:
12" H x 18" W x 6" D

Design & Functionality
The Recycled Market Bags are a bit smaller than the Recycled Wave Totes but still hold plenty. Great-looking & super durable. Its heavy-duty construction provides another benefit: these shopping bags can stand on their own to facilitate easy loading. Constructed with tough as nails material the bags include box stitching at stress point. Holds about double the amount of a plastic grocery bag. Also great as a carry-all for around town or travel tote.
