| Called the "It bag of the future" by Teen Vogue, this stylish and ridiculously practical bag (sold in packages of 3 and 6) is one easy step in helping save the planet. Baggu ("bag" in Japanese) is machine washable, and folds up into it's own pouch small enough to tuck into your handbag or pocket. Made of super-tough ripstop nylon in bright, fun colors, it's the re-usable bag that's eco-chic. | | Photos courtesy of Dan Martensen. | Why Baggus are so great? You want to replace your old friends, the paper & plastic bags, with something that does their job without creating needless waste or harming the environment. Using one Baggu for one year replaces 300 to 700 disposable bags. -
One Baggu holds the contents of 2 to 3 plastic grocery bags. Six bags can hold a whole cart full of groceries. -
Baggu Bag handles are the perfect length: you can hold them in your hand, on your forearm, or over your shoulder. -
They are made from super strong rip-stop nylon (holds 25 lbs) so they are light (2 oz) and compactible. They fold into a flat 5 by 5 inch pouch that easily slips in a purse or pocket. That way they are always handy when you need them. -
Baggu bags have a nice big gusset in the bottom so they will sit flat when they are filled (good for eggs & milk.) |  | Smart Design
Baggu was designed by mother-daughter team Joan and Emily in California. They both saw the need for a better reusable bag, and after dozens of prototypes, came up with a solution that makes using reusable bags stylish, practical and easy. | | Baggu is great whether you shop on foot or drive to the store, you always need to have a bag or two that fold up small and can be carried in your purse, ready for an unexpected errand. |  |  | We use lightweight, hard working fabrics to make bags that will perform years of service in all of our daily toting tasks: groceries, pharmacy purchases, gifts, and books, and pet food, and clothes and ... All the tons of things we find ourselves accepting a disposable bag to bring home. Changing our own shopping habits is one small thing we can do to make a difference. We hope you feel good every time you use your BAGGU. | Plastic Bags & the Planet
The average family brings home 1,000 bags every year. Most of those bags end up in land fills. That really adds up - 100 billion plastic bags are sent to landfill in the US each year. In landfills, it can take up to 1000 years for a bag to decompose. Plastics don't biodegrade, they photo-degrade, breaking down into tiny toxic pieces that contaminate soil and water or harm wildlife. Every time you use your Baggu bag instead of plastic or paper you are doing something good. |

 Finally, an answer to that drawer in your kitchen that is stuffed with bags you refuse to throw out... October 20, 2007

There is something just so gross and wrong about throwing away those plastic grocery bags you get at the market, so at our house, we throw them in a drawer in the kitchen thinking we will somehow magically re-purpose them.... but how??? Weave them together and make doormats from them? If only we were so crafty.
This is finally the answer. I bought 3 in fuschia (why be basic, right?) and now I just keep one or two in my handbag at all times so that I can say no to the plastic at the store and just tote everything home in my own weightless little bag. They are also great for everything else, like hauling misc things to and from the car, throwing wet towels/bathing suits in after a trip to the gym or spa, etc etc.
The ripstop nylon is incredibly sturdy (more so than the flimsy plastic bags you get at the store) and carries as much weight or more as you could normally carry in said flimsy plastic bag.
If you're looking for a cool environmentally-friendly bag that's a little less granola and a little more hip, here you go.
Great little gifts for Christmas. Stock up and give out.
Keep a New Year's resolution January 7, 2008

Ordered these after a prompt from Amazon - they looked like just the thing to help me keep a New Year's resolution to use fewer bags. These bags are better than the canvas types sold in grocery stores - they hold more, they're lightweight, yet sturdy and they easliy refold into their little pockets. I keep mine in my glove box and usually have one in my purse. The ladies who developed this product should market them to grocery stores because they're a lot better than the ones I've seen available. Thank you.Baggu Reusable Shopping Tote - 6-Pack
Best solution for leaving plastic and paper behind January 4, 2008
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
I saw these bags on a tech blog and immediately bought 4 of them. I've recommended them to friends and all of us think they're great. The fabric is perfect, they're incredibly lightweight, and they come in their own little envelopes for tossing back in the car when you're done unloading groceries.
I try to reuse paper bags as much as I can. Barring that, I'll buy a store's fabric or plastic bag to reuse next time I'm there. But because those bags are used only for groceries, I tend to forget them or they get wet and need to be tossed. Baggus are so easy to keep in my car or my backpack or my purse that I never forget them!
Awesome, functional and chic! November 3, 2007

I just recieved my three pack of Baggu's in the mail yesterday and used the bag today at the farmers market. Instead of having a million plastic bags to feel guilty about when I got home, I had one bright turquoise Baggu that I love and can use again and again! And they are so light weight and compact that one bag takes up minimal room in the purse which is vital. I'm going to give them to everyone I know for Christmas.
