About Our Reusable Shopping Bags

Portability
Each bag folds into its own compact pocket for easy carrying and convenience. Most bags weigh between 2 and 4 ounces. We achieve this by selecting lightweight fabrics and buttons.

Multi-Purpose
Our reusable shopping bags are great for shopping, groceries, or just running errands around town. Read on to find out how we'll help you to always carry your own bag.

Quality
Quality begins with mindful design. We've designed a usable, strong, and stylish reusable shopping bag. We test each fabric for strength, stain-resistance, ease-of-care, and appearance. The workmanship and detail in each bag is of the highest importance. They are made individually by skilled seamstresses in San Francisco. The bag is made like a piece of clothing. We finish the bag with French seams and other details uncommon in reusable shopping bags.

Design
The bag is designed so that it handles well ergonomically, whether you carry it on your shoulder or in your hand. To enhance the carrying capacity, these reusable shopping bags have no bottom seam. We reinforced the handles to enhance comfort when carrying a heavy load. We also designed a small inner pocket, which serves as the bag cover, and can be used to hold cash or receipts as you shop. We added a button to provide security for the items when needed. It's a feature for those who like to use it as an extra travel bag. Each button is selected to accent the fabric, and enhance the beauty of the bag.

Ease-of-Care
The fabric is selected based on longevity and performance. These reusable shopping bags can be shaken to release the dirt, or they can be rinsed or laundered. The bags will look good even after heavy usage and washings. You cannot get that from a canvas bag.
