“Oh no! I left my reusable bags at home!”
That used to be a common refrain of yours truly at the grocery checkout line, and I’d feel so badly – taking home all those paper or plastic bags that would invariably end up scrunched under my kitchen sink because I couldn’t stand for them to go straight to the landfill.
But I’ve found the perfect solution: the Chico Bag. Made of strong and lightweight nylon, the Chico Bag scrunches down into a flirtatiously stowable pouch which can then be clipped onto a purse or key chain. I always keep mine clipped to my purse, so even when I have an unexpected purchase, it’s right there with me. More stylish sack than stylish tote, you can bring along the full range of beautiful colors on your next grocery trip, as they each weigh under two ounces yet hold over 20 pounds. Made by fair trade artisans, your purchase supports sustainable, ethical consumption.
