Earthwisebags.com located in Commerce, CA offers a lot of choices in their arsenal of reusable bags. They manufacture reusable bags for companies, so some of the samples you see here were produced for other companies. Here are some of them:
Lunch bags and hot & cold insulated bags
Outer shell – 100% non-woven polypropylene
Inner lining – aluminum foil
Spot wash with sponge.
Yes, they’re all Kellogg’s bags designed for kids. It’s cute.
This baby did a good job of keeping things at or near the temperature I wanted. Of course, it didn’t keep food steaming hot or chillingly cold. Just hot/cold enough.
Shopping bag
100% non-woven polypropylene
Cold hand wash
No bleach or tumble dry.
This bag was the same size and look as our Stop & Shop reusable bag. I didn’t realize that Earthwise produced Stop & Shop’s bag. That one was green, this was blue. And different logos. But that’s the extent of the difference. Needless to say, this bag is seeing much action.
Black bag
PET (100% recycled material)
Cold hand wash
Don’t bleach, tumble dry or iron.
Canvas bag
100% organic cotton
Cold wash on gentle cycle
Tumble dry on low heat.
The black bag and the canvas bags haven’t been truly tested yet. Just used them in mini-shopping expeditions. It’s doing well, so far. I’ll post an update once I’ve tried them during a major shopping galore.
Stew Leonard’s
Bag – 100% woven polypropylene
Handle – 100% polyester
Cold hand wash
Don’t bleach or tumble dry.
The Stew Leonard’s bag on the right never leaves our car because we buy produce from Stew Leonard’s. So far, each time we used it, we haven’t completely filled the bag yet. More shopping is in order.
OmniPeace Reusable Shopping Bags 4 in 1
100% Polyester
4 in 1(pouch becomes one of 4, bags)
Machine washable
Don’t tumble dry.
According to the Earthwise website, “OmniPeace donates 25% of all profits to charities targeting these goals. With the simple purchase of an OmniPeace product you are supporting a movement that begins with you. Can you think of a better return in life than saving one?”
And that’s why I like it.
