Eco Friendly Bags & Purses

Eco-friendly bags and purses made from cotton canvas, jute and recycled fabric, stitched to survive a full grocery run rather than tear on the walk to the car. This is the practical end of plastic-free, not the tokenistic end.

Weight capacity matters more than looks here. Look for reinforced base seams and wide straps if the bag is doing supermarket duty, and narrower straps if it is a shoulder bag for a day out. Most of these are cold machine washable, which matters more than people expect once fruit leaks in one.
