Omnisax Bloom Pouch (Includes 5 Bags)

Envirosax are by far my favorite green bags. I received one as a gift, and have been hooked ever since. I purchased this set because I wanted more bags, and they are very attractive. The reason I like Envirosax so much is due to the fabric they use and the overall design.The fabric is very durable, and holds up well when I throw them in the washer/dryer. The design makes them larger than other green bags, so you can really stuff a lot in them. They also roll up into a small roll, about the size of a roll of quarters (only much lighter, of course). The bags have a little strap and snap on them to hold the roll closed, eliminating the need for a sleeve or second piece that can get lost. The set comes in a nice pouch that you can throw in your car or handbag - the pouch holding 5 bags is about the size of a small makeup bag. Or, grab a single rolled-up bag and toss it in your purse or luggage. Envirosax are great for traveling because they pack easily and weigh practically nothing.I also recommend the Flip & Tumble Produce Bags (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002UXQ7QQ/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00). These are great produce bags that also wash up great, and are a good addition to the Envirosax. There is even room enough for me to tuck these produce bags in the pouch with the Envirosax, so everything is together when I go to the grocery store.

Okay, yes, these are expensive, but that's why we love to get Amazon gift cards, right? So I treated myself and bought the Envirosax Bloom Shopper. I was really tired of lugging those permanent plastic grocery bags into the market every time I went shopping and honestly, if I forgot to bring them into the store, I just grumbled to myself and accepted the store bags. These Envirosax bags are great because they fit into my handbag, and so I always have them with me. To cut down on clutter in my purse, during the week I leave 4 in the little bag that they come in (and leave it in the car) and put the 5th one directly into my purse--great for the times when I'm doing non-grocery shopping. Each one wraps up easily and has its own attached closure strap with snap, so that makes it very compact for my purse. They are strong, too, and easy to carry. Added bonus: the Bloom pattern is very attractive. As the check-out clerk commented when I tossed her the bag of bags, which is about the size of a cosmetic bag, "How cute is that!" The bags themselves are quite spacious, by the way, and as I mentioned, seem really strong. Definitely a five star product, although it would be nice if they were a bit less expensive.

I like the convenience of having 5 bags in the small pack, and that the entire pack fits in the side door pocket of my car. I like the way they fold easily and have snaps to keep them closed. However the bags do not have a flat bottom, and because of this, groceries are not able to be packed neatly.

One of them ripped on first use. otherwise they are nice.

I've had my Envirosax now for almost 15 years, and they defy all manner of abuse.There's a place in town that sells rocks by the ton (they weigh your car, you load up with rocks, and they weigh your car again before you pay), and I'll fill my Envirosax with as many cobblestones as I can carry.The stitching holds up great! I wash these in the machine and hang them to dry.I've used them for rocks, library books, groceries, laundry, etc. etc. etc.They fold and tuck away easily, and they're so pretty!I bought some more recently to update the color palette of my bag inventory.The only thing that frustrates me is that when I went to search for these and couldn't remember the name off the top of my head, I used search terms like "reusable bag", "bag", "sack", etc. That should've worked, right? It didn't.I thought they'd gone out of business. I got off my keister to check the name on the bag and found them again by searching specifically for "Envirosax."

All Omnisax bags are great, and hold up well. ( I've had friends buy knock-offs just to have the bags break at the seams). These pack up well, hold up well, look great, and make great gifts (even if it's just one and not the whole set). You can get them on sale sometimes - after Thanksgiving they have a site sale so you can get some at half price. The rest of the time, Amazon has the best prices.I will admit we don't use for groceries because I prefer a flat bottom bag for that, but these are great carryalls, emergency bags, shopping bags for the mall etc, And I love it that it saves us from having to use paper or plastic bags. You can also tie the handles in a knot, so you can secure whatever it is inside (ie when travelling, I use it to double bag by toiletries to prevent leaks).

These are really pretty. So pretty it's a pleasure to go grocery shopping now. I get lots of compliments by other customers and at the checkout on these bags. They are very sturdy and easy to carry and hold more than a flimsy plastic or paper bag not to mention it's great for the environment. These bags are easy to carry in car or purse. The colors are vibrant and cheerful and can be used year round for any season. Don't hesitate to purchase these bags..they will sell out fast. Check out all the other prints available also...there is something for everyone. Make great gifts also!

These bags are so pretty, easily washable...and so easy to keep packed in my bag. The take up no space at all, and are so handy now that we are being changed to use bags in our county. While I thought the price was a bit high, it is clear that these bags will last a long time, and that they can be washed makes them even better!
