Item Description
The Planet Bag is a heavyweight 100% cotton shopping bag designed to be used instead of plastic or paper bags at the grocery store checkout. *100% Natural* -Natural 100% Cotton Canvas, no environmentally harmful dyes or bleaches. -The Planet Bag is made of 100% Natural Cotton, not Synthetic Polypropylene (plastic) cloth or Nylon. Synthetic fabrics are made from oil and do not biodegrade. Why replace plastic with more plastic? Use only real 100% cotton bags instead. Both organic and inorganic cotton are biodegradable. *Inches Matter!* Though it does not sound like a lot of difference, take a look at the photo to compare a 13 x 14 no gusset bag with The Planet Bag 18 x 15 x 3.5 bottom gusset! *Extra Long Woven Handles* Extra Long 28 in handles designed for shoulder carry. Can also be tied for hand carry. Rugged woven handles, not just stitched self-fabric. Handles take the most wear and theres no stitching to come loose, even when used daily. *Machine Washable* The Planet Bag can be spot cleaned, or washed in the machine on delicate cycle, cold water. Hang to Dry. As it is 100% cotton, some shrinking will occur (10-15%), but The Planet Bag will stretch back out upon future use. *Sweatshop Free!* The Planet Bag is made in India by skilled workers who are actually paid greater than Fair Wage.

Nice Idea... Just don't wash them!!!
2009-12-07
Reviewer: Jaylene Sobczak
I have 9 of these things! They are roomy and sturdy right up until you need to wash them. After that, they are small and start to fray. I was excited when I first received them, but now I am rather disappointed. It didn't matter if they were dried in the dryer or not. I washed some and hung them to dry and they still shrunk and wrinkled and started to tatter after a couple uses. Then I washed and dried some in the dryer and the result was the same! I would have to say now that I do not recommend this product.
Durable and cute

I have been using these bags for a year now and they are amazing. I overfill them with cans and heavy groceries all the time. I love them and highly recommend them!

I love, love, love, love, love, love these bags. And did I mention that I love these bags? They hold much more than any plastic grocery bag - I think I've fit the contents of 3 plastic bags in 1 of these canvas bags. I love the long handles as they make it easier to carry more than one bag on a shoulder. I use them for more than groceries; I use them to transport any and every thing that's not already in a bag. I don't have any trouble remembering to put them back in the car after use, I simply place them by the door and grab them along with my keys on the way out.
I don't think they were overpriced at all: I got six for just under $40 with shipping and for as long as I plan on having these and as much as I use them they are a great buy.
Planet Bags Great Idea But....

Purchase of these bags is a wise and timely one, but it leaves a quandry .... How does one remember to bring them into a store? I have a bunch of eco-friendly bags now, that remain in the car!! (Yeah, I'm blonde!)
Great buy

I bought just one set of these to see if I liked them before buying any more and I couldn't be happier. The bags are durable, easy to wash the right size and can take a good amount of groceries. Would recommend to anyone.
