MY BAG CARES - A Fashionably Eco-Friendly Tote!

iluvmybags · Jun 15th, 2008, 10:42 PM

I apologize if this is a repeat thread/topic, but can't find one w/o the Search!

I came across a pic of Kelly Ripa carrying a cute Eco-Friendly tote bag. It looks a lot like the I'M NOT A PLASTIC BAG that Anya Hindmarch produced last year in small amounts -- I searched for some info on the internet and found the website dedicated to the sale of these bags

http://www.mybagcares.com/

The best part of this tote (besides it looking great!) is that it only costs $20!! In addition, for every bag purchased, they plant a new tree!!! How can you go wrong!!! I've been looking for a cute Eco-Friendly tote for a while -- I have several of those inexpensive ones our grocery store sells, but they're not "fashionable" enough to use every day. This bag looks great, can hold a lot and does GOOD THINGS for the environment!!

Check out the website and pick one (or 2!) up!

seriously, this is a great idea... save the environment ppl!! and still look stylish at the same time...i have a MJ eco tote as well which i love so much and i don't ever have to use plastic bags anymore at the stores!

I think Gracen makes some very attractive grocery bags.

Ikea's bags look to be about as big as the Gracen, but under $2. If something spills or is wet, I don't have to worry about it ruining a nice bag.I swear I get a new re-usable bag every time I go.

What a great idea! I love that the bags are inexpensive...unlike those Anya Hindmarch bags.

cooper1 · Jun 16th, 2008, 08:48 PM

Oh, I love this bag AND the idea that a tree is planted with each purchase.
I am going to buy one right now!
Thanks for the heads-up! It looks huge; like it would carry tons of stuff!

I ordered one myself, which I'll probably wind up using for work. Once I get it and see how big/strong it is, I'll probably order another 1 or 2 to use for gorceries and other shopping trips -- I really LOVE the idea behind the bag (and the fact that they plant a tree when I make my purchase!) -- the other tote I've contemplated getting is the FEED bag from Lauren Bush (http://www.amazon.com/World-Food-Pro...3668338&sr=8-1), but at $60 each I've been a little hesitant -- I know that each purchase feeds a child for an entire year, so maybe I'll get one of those soon.

Cute bag, I saw similar yesterday and my kids said that is like your " i'm not a plastic bag" same design and every thing just a different saying.

I have bought 3 shopping bags for when get groceries and carry things for the kids inside of the plastic bags.

they were cheap, something like 5$ to buy from the supplier. It was eBay that drove the price up. If this bag was smaller the same thing would happen.

Crappy, cant order then in canada :(

just think of how many groceries you can fit in there -- and how many plastic bags you can avoid bringing home!

Thank you for this. I was going to do DIY welcome bags for my destination wedding but these are even better!

The bag is not that big. Kelly Ripa is tiny.
