San Francisco, Ireland, and even China have officially declared: "NO MORE PLASTIC SHOPPING BAGS! " Bringing reusable shopping bags is an easy shift each of us can make to help our environment. This simple individual act collectively saves valuable petroleum resources, reduces litter and pollution. It is the natural thing to do. Our double-stitched grocery bags are generously sized at 16.5"(w) x 17"(h) with 6" bottom gussets and 23" handles (they will hold twice as much as a plastic bag), and are lovingly created in the USA from 100% Grade "A" Organic Cotton. Stuff several into one bag and keep them in your car for your next shopping trip. Our beautiful fabric shopping bags also replace two plastic shopping bags; their extra-wide 7" gussets and reinforced bottom panels make it easy to stuff the bags with oversized items.
