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, padded handles & four exterior pockets for loose items. All bags feature authentic prints & colorful dyes that will beautifully fade with wear. Recycled Wave Tote holds about double the volume of a standard paper grocery bag: also great as a carry-all for around town or travel tote.

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.

Customer Ratings & Reviews

71 reviews	Average Customer Rating 4.7 out of 5:
Brandy R - 12/2008	Rating:
I love this bag. It is sturdy, folds up flat, holds a lot, and the hangle is comfortable even when the bag is very heavy. Other people complained about an odor, but to me it was extremely mild and I haven't even noticed it since I first opened them.

Mary Lou S - 11/2008	Rating:
I love these bags! They are extremely well made and can fit a huge amount of groceries in them. I have not noticed any smell at all, and the colors are beautiful. I'll be back for more!

Anita O - 10/2008	Rating:
