Organic Fashion: Reusable Market Bag, or Super Cute Over Sized Tote?

What: Cute and practical market bags

The Lowdown: These reusable market bags are perfect for grocery shopping – and even better – they carry your phone, your wallet, those adorable pictures of your kids, and more! Sturdy enough to carry your (organic) milk, fashionable enough to use as a carry-along. Welcome to the new age of the fashion-forward, reusable grocery bags!

Friends have occasionally asked us how we remember to bring resuable grocery bags to the store. Here’s our secret: We use canvas bags as a carry-along tote so they’re always on us, regardless! If we’re running to the gym, just throw the yoga mat and water bottle in; if we’re hitting the grocery store on the way home, the yoga mat is promoted to shotgun in the car and voila! A grocery bag ready to go. Of course, they’re not always fashionable. The bags at howgreenisyourbag.com – now there’s a good answer to the dilemma! These adorable (and convenient) bags are made from eco-friendly coated jute for easy cleaning, hold 3-4 times more groceries than plastic bags, and fold flat for easy storage. Best of all, they eliminate the use of thousands of single-use grocery bags over their lifetime.

Check out their great collection, from simple “earth brown� for those who like to keep it simple, to designs with scroll patterns, polka dots and stripes – for those who want to make more of a fashion statement.
