larger than expected, very sturdy and beautiful colors. however, the seams are unfinished inside (raw fabric exposed) and i wonder how long before the fabric starts to fray. also, some concern about the rubbery lining of the material; a review of a reisenthel backpack said it started rubbing off after a while and it makes me hesitant to put in things that might mess it up like hardcover books. but overall, love it the thicker sturdy feeling of the material and it\'s just pretty. it\'s nicer when used as a tote and not just a grocery bag. it\'s double the size of my chicobags when folded up though and is best folded back into the stuffsack, not quickly stuffed back in like the chicobags.

I was given one of these for Christmas last year. I used it so much last year that I gave reusable bags to my entire staff this year, and bought another Reisenthel for myself! It has come in handy multiple times at the grocery store, and the airport! This is on my top 5 list of most useful items.

i love these shoppers. they hold ALOT of stuff and are super easy to carry, even when loaded full of heavy stuff, since the long handles fit over your shoulder. leaves your hands free for digging those keys out of your purse. ive had mine for several years and always keep one in my purse. very durable and easy to fold back into the pouch.

These bags are extremely durable and hold about the same amount as 2-3 regular plastic bags from the grocery store. You can fold them up in their cases and keep them in your bag or even attached to your clothing, bike, etc. Very easy to carry on your shoulder when full. They are my favorite of my reusable bags!

I love these bags! Their little pouch easily fits in my purse, glove box and hoodie pocket. They couldn't be more convenient and hopefully they will help me rid the house of those horrible plastic bags!

by Sarah S - 09/2009
I bought this bag for my mom to bring along on her trip to Europe. She loved it because it was compact for the initial packing, but still held quite a bit of purchases...and it is stylish!

I love this bag. I got it as a gift from my MIL. I hook it to my purse when I go to the mall or grocery. It holds more than the standard plastic grocery bag. The bottom can fold out flat to hold more stuff. Really convenient.

by Maja H - 08/2009
I purchased 3 of these two years ago and they are still working on a daily basis for all my errands. Grocery store, outlet mall, gym, camping, these come with me everywhere I go and they do their part. Two of them easily hold a week worth of groceries. When soiled, they run through the wash very easily and come out sparkling.
I agree with the other reviewer that the carrying pouch could be smaller, but I just leave mine at home. Every purse comes with a zippered pocket, or cellphone spot where I keep my bag for easy access.

I love these bags. The perfect size. The perfect shape. Very strong and durable. Have lasted much longer than my Acme Workhorse bags.

by Jennifer B - 08/2009
Though it's not as tiny as the incredibly collapsible ACME workhorse bags, this is one really sturdy and compact bag, able to bear the weight the heavy stuff my string bag can't. I am able to store a few produce bags in the zipper sac along with it, which is a big help.

by TERESA L - 06/2009
I received one for a gift and was hooked instantly. The colors, size and shape are ideal for any type of shopping. I gave out 15 for teachers' gifts at the end of school.

by Claudia N - 06/2009
My daughter and I have been using the two that we have had for quite a while (even on our trip to Paris where we used them every day!) and love them. This last purchase was to get two more for us and two for two friends as they are convenient to attach to a bag on the way to the store and comfortable when filled with purchases. Sturdy (we do grocery shopping with them a lot), convenient carrying case, comfortable once filled and attractive too. This rates as our favorite bag.

by Nancy N - 05/2009
I purchased four of these bags; one for me and one for my daughter, sister and niece. We all LOVE them. The size is perfect for big or small shopping trips. Easy to put back in the carrying sack and look GREAT! Very sturdy and well made. Thanks for such a great product.
