Envirosax Shopping Bag - la boheme red

Shop in style with this eco-friendly alternative to disposable shopping bags that folds up into the palm of your hand. This bag is part of the latest La Boheme series - our favourite to date! It's a mix of the romanticism of Bohemia and the ideals of the Art Nouveau movement - a great example of the fusion of eco-friendly products and beautiful design. Envirosax bags are lightweight, portable, waterproof and each one holds the equivalent of two supermarket plastic bags, thanks to reinforced seams. They're made of polyester which allows the bag to be rolled up into a compact package and highly durable to last. The inks and dyes used in the printing of the bag are eco-friendly and no carcinogenic amides are used. The printing process used ensures the bags will not fade when washed. 

More information:
These bags have been tested to hold 44lbs - the equivalent of two plastic bags of groceries.

To clean: A 20 degree hand wash, and line dry is recommended. Machine washing will eventually break down the PVA coating that gives the Envirosax its waterproofness. Machine washing will also place additional stress on the bag's stitching and shorten its lifespan.
