Plastic bags, out. Reusable totes, in.

Old news by now, right? Well, here’s what’s new: Trendy, earth-friendly totes for the stylish socially responsible shopper to storm the market in style. Below are just a few faves from Australian-based Envirosax, offering a proverbial grab bag of totes in various styles, fabrics and prints.

Aren’t these reusable mesh bags fabulous? Buy a few, take them with you to the grocery store for your produce and never again use those flimsy plastic bags that just get tossed in the garbage later.

They have a drawstring for easy closure, checkout clerks can see what’s in them, and they’re made in Canada of 100% washable cotton. What’s not to love?

Price: from $5 each (small)

Available: check out www.credobags.com for stores and online retailers

There’s been an explosion of reusable shopping bags of late and I say, bring it on!

I love Envirosax’s line of super-lightweight bags not only because you can fold them down into incredibly small little bundles, but also because they come with tabs with snap closures, so they stay all neatly folded up in your purse when you’re not using them.

Each is capable of holding twice the amount of two grocery bags (that’s a whopping 44 pounds), and the pattern won’t fade away, no matter how many times you wash the bag.

They come in lots of beautiful colours and patterns, so you can match them to your outfits, and they’d make great little gifts!
