Amazon.com Product Description
Embrace a new way of thinking with this set of five eco-friendly reusable polyester shopping bags. These durable, lightweight, and waterproof designer bags display bold and versatile black-and-white patterns and come rolled up in an easy tote. The snap-close storage tote is small enough to stash in a glove compartment or shoulder bag, so it's always handy. Whip out a new bag every time you need one, and forego those wasteful plastic and paper sacks. Every time you shop, you'll be cutting back on clutter, and doing so with uncompromising style. The monochromatic line is designed for maximum versatility and non-gender-specific use.
From the Manufacturer
| Dubbed the best value reusable bag on the market by the Wall Street Journal, and seen carried by the likes of Cameron Diaz and Kyra Sedgwick, Envirosax have revolutionized shopping bags with the perfect combination of eco-friendliness, style, and practicality. Envirosax, the original reusable designer shopping bags, are a funky and practical way to do your part to help the environment by reducing the ecological impact of single-use plastic bag waste whilst looking stylish at the same time. A single Envirosax rolls up to be about the size of a piece of sushi and weighs only 1.4oz (about 40g). Singularly or in a pouch the bags are small enough and light enough to fit easily in your glove box, pocket or purse, so forgetting your green bags won’t be a problem anymore. The graphic series bags roll out to be 19.5” by 16.5” (49.5cm by 41.9cm), and can safely hold about 44lbs (20kg) thanks to the strong polyester fabric and reinforced seams. The bags are waterproof, and the eco-friendly inks used on the bags (in a range of rich solid colors and attractive patterns) won’t run when the bag is washed.
Envirosax bags are a great alternative to accepting plastic grocery bags whenever you go to the shop. The less plastic bags you use, the less there are to be found in the stomachs of sea turtles, wrapped around the heads of seabirds, or clogging drains and causing flooding.
Did you know that due to the chemical nature of standard plastic grocery bags they never decompose? Did you also know that a single Envirosax bag can hold 2 of these grocery bags worth of goods, and so could save the environment from hundreds or even thousands of plastic bags every year. Belinda and Mark David-Tooze, a couple committed to sustainable living and minimizing human environmental impacts, founded Envirosax in 2004. This commitment is evident in their own lifestyle, as well as their clever bag design. The David-Toozes live off the grid, using photovoltaic cells for their electricity needs, water collected from rain-tanks, and they grow their own organic fruit and vegetables on their rainforest property. Proceeds from Envirosax are used to support conservation groups such as the Australian Marine Conservation Society, the Surfrider Foundation and the Royal Forest and Bird Protection Society of New Zealand. |

 Greatest reusable bags December 3, 2008
These are the best reusable bags that I own, and I have many. They are pricey but I have actually been using them. I have a trunk full of bags that I always forget until I'm checking out. I keep them in my purse so I haven't been caught needing to use any plastic ones. They hold quite a bit more than the plastic bags so I never run short. I'm not sure why the other reviewer is having trouble refolding these, fold in half, fold in thirds then roll up. I hope Amazon gets more of these in stock, I have several friends and family that want them.
Expensive pouches, but worth it December 2, 2008
I got mine 2 months ago and love them. The 5 pouch set is good since I can rotate them to retain easy-folding lines. I do admit that it's much easier to fold it on a large enough flat surface. These are much more durable than those cheap bags with the plastic bottom inserts (inserts that won't fit in your pocket), Envirosax DO! The handles appeared to be too long at first glance, until I noticed that I could just wear it like a purse on my shoulder (if not too heavily loaded). It is also kind to the touch; feels like umbrella material or nylon coat lining I guess.
I got some stares while checking out at a chain store a few days ago. I whipped it out as the cashier was about to ring me up and she looked impressed. Those who have asked me about it think that it's too expensive. $38.00 for 5 pouches may be costly, but when I think of all the plastic bags I've not used (by actually having this one on me) makes it more worthwhile. I always forgot the cheap ones, I never forget these! Attractive, unique (for now) and not making advertisements for some other store, excellent choice!
Look great while doing your part for our environment! December 1, 2008
This by far has been my best purchase this year...I use them every where and every time I'm shopping, even out of town. They are so very durable, perfect shoulder bag to carry many full bags at one time, compact enough to travel, and I'm never short of bags while running all my errands. I've received nothing but positive compliments and many of them, I must add! I totally recommend them 10 fold, look at all the color choices and if you need a place to start to become more environmentally conscious, start with this purchase and say no more to plastic.
Love these! Folds up easily... November 23, 2008
Feel good helping out environmentally while still looking chic... I have many canvas reusable grocery bags but always left them at home or in the car. I keep these in my purse and always have them handy... They are very durable. Went to the bookstore and bought a bunch of books and the bag held up just fine. I always get comments from others at the checkout and ask where I got these. I now give them out as teacher gifts. I don't know what the one reviewer is talking about in terms of difficulty in folding back up. Just fold them in thirds and roll up and snap the umbrella like snaps. Takes me less than 15 seconds. I highly recommend!
 Frustrating and Time Consuming to Refold... November 17, 2008
I bought these bags close about 8 months ago and just replaced them. They are super durable, attractive and hold ALOT. However, they are very frustrating to refold. And, after 10 uses, you simply can't refold them in a way that stays folded, which results in loose, open canvas bags in your purse or backpack or car or wherever you keep them. (I kept one or two in a variety of spots). I now use the bags that stuff into their own drawstring compartment. While they are not as big or as cute, they at least stay compacted in my purse and do not take a full 5 minutes with origami-like precision to refold as these Envriosax did. Great idea... bad execution...Also, If I had it to do over, I'd get the colored-version.. just a personal preference.
