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 beautiful Japanese-inspired patterns and come rolled up in an easy tote. The snap-close storage tote is small enough to stash in a glove compartment or a medium to large handbag, 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 eye-catching style.
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. |

Love! July 24, 2008

My Mikado pouch came in the mail today, and I've already had the satisfaction of using one while out shopping. My mom and I discovered Envirosax at a cute store in Montreal recently and were both impressed at how fantastic they are. After trying the one she bought for a few weeks, I knew I had to stock up for myself. They're super lightweight and really easy to roll up into a little sushi-sized bundle that's held shut by attached straps with snaps-- great because then you're not fussing with some separate pouch like with so many similar reusable bags. We both own many other bags, canvas and mesh and nylon, that too often get left behind in the car or at home. Envirosax are small and light enough that I will always keep one in my purse. And they're so cute and cheery, too!
Note: unlike the Flora line, which are printed on one side and a solid color on the other, the Mikado designs have prints on both sides. Go figure.
Update 8/14/08: It still makes me happy every time I whip out one of my pretty Envirosax at the market or at the mall. Functional and uplifting-- what more could you ask for?
Love these bags! August 21, 2008
The battle with constantly forgetting my reusable bags at home or in the car is over. These bags easily transform into a tiny roll that fit right in my purse, are great looking and are super strong. I am buying a 5 bag set to use as stocking stuffers for xmas. I want to share these bags with everyone. My first bag was given to me by a coworker when I had nearly given up on the reusable bag plan (because of my constantly forgetting them). I suggest that if you are interested in encouraging yourself and others to reduce and reuse, buy a couple of these bags. It is an inexpensive and pretty way to make a positive impact. Happy Shopping!
An beautiful alternative to plastic bags! August 23, 2008
I have a set of Envirosax bags in the Mikado pattern. The bags are light weight, strong, roomy, and elegant! The bags wash up nicely and are easy to refold. At first the plastic snaps were a little tight, but they loosened and now work well. They more than exceeded my expectations! Having beautiful bags helped me to get over my embarrassment at asking sales clerks to use them. While they are a tight fit in my medium small purse, I keep them in my car until needed and then put them in my purse for shopping trips. I have been delighted as the bags have been admired!
Efficient and Easy September 17, 2008
I love these bags not just because they are an efficient way to save some resources, but because the are durable and easy to use. Having a reusable bag that rolls up and can be thrown into my purse is perfect for the market or even the mall- I don't have to worry about attempting to remember my reusable bag, just keep them in my purse, no having to carry an extra bulky bag around.
I love Envirosax bags! September 26, 2008
I have several of these bags and have been buying them for everyone I know. The colors and designs are very stylish, and they fold up so small and weigh nothing. I always keep a few in my purse and have them handy for purchases whenever, wherever I need them. They hold quite a lot too, and they're much more comfortable to carry around the mall than shopping bags. I haven't taken a bag from a store in over a year. Get some-- you won't regret it!
