I recently had a whack of IKEA goodies sent to me for a photoshoot, but I almost missed the shipment entirely. I’ve become so used to the iconic big blue bag that I kept ignoring this, which showed up in its place…

(Some people have their Coach bags; others have their IKEA totes. Different strokes, and all that.) At only $2, the sunny spotted bag is perfect for lugging gear to the beach, or fresh green goodness home from the farmers’ market. Or simply pack it with you on your next trip to IKEA and look down your nose at all the boring old blue-baggers. So last season! icon wink seeing spots at ikea

flip & tumble reusable bags

flipbags3 flip & tumble reusable bags

OK, there are loads of reusable bags on the market, so I’m quite particular about ones I’ll use. They have to be lightweight and not bulky, so I can tuck them easily into my purse. For a long time I’ve been using Envirosax bags for those very reasons, but Flip & Tumble’s 24-7 bags win on both those counts, too!

The colours are lovely (there are lots more), the wide strap is built for comfort, and check out how the bag rolls up into a teeny-tiny ball in this video.

Here’s some info on the bags direct from the Flip & Tumble site:

bag size = 12″ x 14″ x 5″ = large enough for 3 half gallons [2-litres] of milk and then some

ball size = 3″ in diameter = the size of a peach

weight capacity = 25 lbs. = strong enough for a bowling ball or two

material = ripstop nylon

felt patch = keeps the bag on your shoulder

washing instructions = machine wash cold, drip dry

plastic bags spared = 1,000+ [how many bags you can potential save by using a reusuable bag!]

Available at: www.flipandtumble.com

Price: from $7 (US) per bag, depending on how many bags you buy!
