Envirosax Reusable Grocery Bags

134 people recommended this item

Description

What to say that has not been said?! The main aspect I'm found of is that they don't take half of my car trunk when empty, like those other reusable semi-rigid bags! :)

Paper Nor Plastic - Reusable Bags

9 people recommended this item

Description

Dying to get your hands on the latest It bag? Stand in line for two hours? Let's not forget the point of the bag - made of canvas, the totebag can be re-used to carry home groceries.

What IS all the fuss over Anya Hindmarch's "I'm Not a Plastic Bag" when there are plenty of totebags out there that can be re-used for groceries, like the "Paper NOR Plastic Bag." It looks and folds like a paper bag, but has the reusability of plastic bags. Made of polyester and vinyl, it's sturdy, and doesn't create the hassle of storing a bunch of bags under your sink (or wherever you stuff all those plastic bags in your house).

Plus, you don't have to stand in line for two hours.

Hemp/Organic Cotton Grocery Bag

3 people recommended this item

Description

I love the understatement here, free of political sloganeering or hip references. This bag simply works and is produced with materials that address the same sensibilities as the use of the bag itself.

HERO BAGS: reusable canvas market bags

10 people recommended this item

Description

Oh, cmon. You know you want to walk around with this. It's a Hero Bag! You're saving the Earth, like Captain Planet! Except in a more subdued color scheme and less confrontations with evil, slimy, pollutant producers (1 per episode).

The bag has reinforced sides which help it retain it's shape - great for protecting your durable groceries.

Did I mention the hero part? I would have that logo embroidered on a shirt or something.

Bravo Green Bag

First to recommend

Description

Simple and to-the-point, this bag says just enough to make your obligatory political statement while picking up a few items at the store. The interior of the bag also features a clever green Bravo bubble.

San Francisco MapTote

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

MapTote specializes in fun, hand-drawn maps of various cities and, in the case of New York, neighborhoods. The drawings are lowbrow and refreshingly mundane, adding a nice ironic twist to a place like Los Angeles, which is rarely depicted so unglamorously.

Feministing Tote Bag

I don't know much about this blog, but this logo is amazing for its ability to subvert stupidity.
