Fresh New Ways of Going to Market
We're trying hard to reduce our consumption of plastic shopping bags, we really are. Hemp totes are all fine and good (gag), but we still find ourselves craving a little more flair than what you find in the standard reusable bags that have replaced plastic.
The Carry All market basket by Reisenthel is perfect for the house-to-car-to-house post grocery parade. The weather-resistant, tear-proof nylon is easy to clean and the collapsible format makes it easy to store when it's not in use (although you'll find that's not very often).
Throw it over your arm (it's amazingly light, and reinforced with aluminum) when you're off to your local farmers' market, taking the family on a picnic or zipping out of the house to do errands.
We're in love with the new Baroque Sand pattern (pictured at left) but it's also available in many colours and patterns too ($55).
If you find yourself hauling around bottles a lot - buying, drinking, recycling - consider another one of Reisenthel's eco-chic totes. The Bottle Bag is another great addition to your bag collection. It's designed to accommodate nine bottles (1.5 litre size) without falling over or having them bang into each other. Best of all - no more unneeded empty boxes once the party is over! Savvy scouts report this bag is also great for other home storage uses such as storing household cleaning products, kids shoes and art supplies.
