Reusable Bag Fashion

Me and my PETCO bag

Me and my PETCO bag

Whether it’s my Whole Foods bag, My PETCO bag or my Trader Joe’s bag – I still sometimes find myself forgetting my shopping bag when I hit the stores. I’ve gotten fairly good at putting it back in my car the day after a shopping trip but it never fails that I somehow forget it when I really need it. My latest find should help solve that problem though. Bagonia handbags shown here have a “secret” compartment made especially for reusable bags. These fabulous handbags are not only fashionable, but also come with and hold THREE reusable bags in the zippered compartment! I love these bags because they truly represent Green function meeting green fashion. Even better – my PETCO reusable shopping bag fits perfectly in the zippered compartment. Now I really have no excuse not to have my resuable bag with me!

    Great idea Shannon, thanks for the tip. I also never seem to remember my bags at least one shopping trip a week.

  • Try Envirosax bags. They are sold in packs of five and roll up small enough to fit into an existing purse. They are available in many different designs from Amazon.

  • Those handbags are super cute. The bowling bag is my favorite. I do need a way to remember my reusable shopping bags! Hmmm..excuse to get a new purse…um, sounds good to me. :-)

    Nice job Shannon. Now I have to buy Ginette a new purse. OK babe, which one do you want. You’re birthday IS coming up in a few months. :)

    I have the Tweed bag and LOVE it. I know, I need to post a picture of it! http://bagonia.myshopify.com/products/tweed-bag
    I think my next one will be the bowling bag though. And Daniel, don’t worry… they have man bags too! http://bagonia.myshopify.com/collections/birch
    I can’t wait to see what designs the Bagonia ladies come up with next!

    I have the bowling bag, and I love it! Nichole from Bagonia is a genius and someone I am proud to call my friend. Love you, Nichole!

    Bagonia proves that style and sustainable living are possible. Finally!

    I have the tweed bag, too, and I love it. Constant compliments.

  • It’s so great that so many stores are supplying us with reusable bags nowdays. Plastic bags are still such a problem but the more we convert to reusables the better off the environment!

    I’m working in my local area to help with the plastic bag problem by recycling single use plastic bags for 15 different families! I make them into reusable bags, totes purses and backpacks :0)

    When we all do our small part we really can change the big picture!

    It sounds like most of you had what I used to have- Bagnesia!(reusable bag amnesia). Go to http://www.bagnesia.com. They have it all figured out and sell everything you need to remember your reusable bags every time you shop!

  • Wow, I totally agree with the thought process that this is the tip of the iceberg for reusable bags. Big, Small, epenive or cheap. Think about all of the plastic and paper bags we receive monthly. You can never have enough bags. You will eventually recycle the old ones and get new ones. Also, what is the percentage of people you see in your town using reusable bags while grocery shopping? In mine we are lucky if it is 1 in 10. So we have huge room for improvement.

    Give RuMe bags a try, they’re my favorite!
