Product Description
  | 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. |

I've used other reusable bags in the past, but after purchasing the Envirosax bags I'll never switch to another! The bags are small enough to keep in my purse so I always have one handy for an unplanned trip to the store. They fold up small, but once open can hold more items than plastic shopping bags - and best of all you don't have to worry about plastic handles breaking. With my Envirosax bag in my purse I never leave home without one!

I own several different types of reusable bags though until now I almost NEVER remembered to bring them with me to the store! I love these bags so much I actually look forward to using them! When folks say they fold down to about the size of a roll of sushi they aren't kidding. They are really light weight and hold a surprising amount of stuff! (See my pictures of one of the Mikado bags holding 5 full sized 2 liter bottles.) The carrying case is convenient for large shopping trips while each individual bag is small enough to allow me to carry a few at the bottom of my purse. I can't tell you how many times I've kicked myself for forgetting to bring my own shopping bags to the store. Since I received these I haven't missed an opportunity to use them. We live in a beach community and these will be perfect for toting all our beach gear this summer!
While they are expensive, in my case that factor combined with the attractiveness of the designs is likely what encourages me to remember to use them! They are strong, pretty, light weight and washable. They would make a great gift idea, especially as a bridal shower gift or as part of a wedding gift. In fact, these are so pretty they would be ideal to wrap a gift in for presentation. I love them!

Purchased my envirosak bags a little over a month ago and since receiving them have gotten tons of use out of them. They are so functional and so roomy, yet compact enough to store in my purse. These bags are so multi functional. I purchased the 5 pack which has come in handy to use for different things and to use more then one at a time. I highly recommend this product you won't be disappointed.

I received my first 5-pak of Envirosax for Christmas, 2009. I was at first leery of the fact that I would have to fold them and put them back in their carrying sack and thought it might be a pain, but I quickly got over this as soon as I saw how wonderfully convenient these sax are. I carry them in the car, all neat and tidy, take the whole 5-pak into the grocery store, load up, bring them home then EASILY fold the individual sax up to replace them in their carrying bag. I have since purchased the 5-pak as a gift and will continue to do so. Plus, they are beautiful and I have been stopped more than once by women (mostly, so far) asking where I got them and how do I like them etc.

Love these bags! They fold up so nicely and fit in my purse and I just pull them out anywhere. I gave some to my friends and they love them, too! I'm going to buy more and would recommend them to anyone. They are worth every penny.
