Our organic cotton tote bags are printed with earth-friendly dyes, are tough, durable and can be used for grocery shopping, as a book bag or anything that you now use plastic bags for. They are 15 inches high, 14 inches wide, 5 inches deep and come with 12 inch straps. We estimate it will take 4 - 6 bags for a "normal" shopping trip and although there is a cost involved versus "FREE" plastic bags, we believe it is worth it. Please consider making the switch from plastic to a reusable bag and even if you don't make the switch with our bags, please make the switch.
Listed and pictured below are three examples of our tote bags in use as grocery bags along with the contents of each full bag:
