| Called the "It bag of the future" by Teen Vogue, this stylish and ridiculously practical bag (sold in packages of 3 and 6) is one easy step in helping save the planet. Baggu ("bag" in Japanese) is machine washable, and folds up into it's own pouch small enough to tuck into your handbag or pocket. Made of super-tough ripstop nylon in bright, fun colors, it's the re-usable bag that's eco-chic. | | Why Baggus are so great? You want to replace your old friends--the paper & plastic bags--with something that does their job without creating needless waste or harming the environment. Using one Baggu for one year replaces 300 to 700 disposable bags. -
One Baggu holds the contents of 2 to 3 plastic grocery bags; Six bags can hold a whole cart full of groceries. -
Baggu Bag handles are the perfect length: you can hold them in your hand, on your forearm, or over your shoulder. -
They are made from strong rip-stop nylon weighing only 2 oz. and can carry up to 25 lbs. They fold into a flat 5 by 5 inch pouch that easily slips in a purse or pocket; that way they are always handy when you need them. -
Baggu bags have a nice big gusset in the bottom so they will sit flat when they are filled (good for eggs & milk). |  | Smart Design
Baggu was designed by mother-daughter team Joan and Emily in California. They both saw the need for a better reusable bag, and after dozens of prototypes, came up with a solution that makes using reusable bags stylish, practical and easy. | | Baggu is great whether you shop on foot or drive to the store, you always need to have a bag or two that fold up small and can be carried in your purse, ready for an unexpected errand. |  |  | Made of lightweight, hard working fabrics that will perform for years of service in all of your daily toting tasks: groceries, pharmacy purchases, gifts, and books, and pet food, and clothes and anything else you can think of--all the things you find yourself accepting a disposable bag to bring home. Changing your own shopping habits is one small thing you can do to make a difference--feel good every time you use your BAGGU! | | 
| Plastic Bags & the Planet
The average family brings home 1,000 bags every year. Most of those bags end up in land fills. That really adds up - 100 billion plastic bags are sent to landfill in the US each year. In landfills, it can take up to 1000 years for a bag to decompose. Plastics don't biodegrade, they photo-degrade, breaking down into tiny toxic pieces that contaminate soil and water or harm wildlife. Every time you use your Baggu bag instead of plastic or paper you are doing something good.

 I've had these for TWO YEARS... they're FANTASTIC! February 7, 2010
lauren (savannah, ga)
I got a three pack of Baggu bags two years ago, and I love them! They're so great for everything: laundry, the grocery store, shopping trips, the beach... anywhere, and if they get dirty you can wash them too! I put mine in the washing machine on cold and hang them up to dry. My favorite thing about these bags is how much they can hold (truly bottomless pits)... and how small they are when you fold them back up! They fit in a pocket or even the smallest of clutches, which is great if you don't want to carry a full sized tote bag to the store. I have them in the Peacock color, which is a bit darker than the image on the color swatch... but the video that Amazon posted about gift wrapping with Baggu shows the colors accurately. (The Peacock is used in the demonstration). Make fantastic gifts too..... and worth every penny.
Folds up small. Perfect for a small purse or coat pocket. January 29, 2010
G. Little (Amazon Heaven)
I LOVE these bags!
I try to keep reusable bags with me, but I am good at forgetting. Since I bought these, I keep one with me at all times. Folds up small and can fit in a jacket pocket or a purse. The baggu holds quite a bit too compared to the plastic bags that you get in the stores. Nice and sturdy construction and the handles are comfortable. I don't use the pouch that it came in, it just seems unnecessary.
Just fold the baggu when you get home and put it back in your coat pocket, purse, or the glove compartment of your car.
 Cool bag, needs slight improvement January 21, 2010
J. Wilkins (Ann Arbor, MI USA)
The BAGGU bags are fairly popular due to being so easy to carry and their great design. When in use they act like slightly enlarged plastic bags that are much more durable and can carry a lot more weight. The only thing I would improve on this product is to make the storage pocket part of the bag so the bag folds into itself. Currently the pouch pictured on the right of the bag is a separate piece and is easly misplaced when using your BAGGU.
Almost perfect January 10, 2010
Sue B. (Pleasanton, CA USA)
I LOVE: 1. size fits easily in purse--I carry two this way at all times
2. good length handles fit over shoulder
I WISH THESE HAD: 1. smaller little handles to fit over stores' plastic bag holders so they'd be easier for baggers to fill.
 Not so fantastic. January 10, 2010
But I'm feeling much better now... (Chicago, IL United States)
For the price of these things, you'd think they would be flawless. I took them shopping with me for the first time a couple of days ago. This is a discount store where you have to buy the bags or bring your own. I didn't have that many groceries, but these things hold half of what a grocery bag will, not twice as much as advertised. They seem to be flimsy as well. UPS gave me a free tote for Christmas, I'm glad I took it with me, it holds a lot, is sturdy, and like I said, was free. I was going to buy 3 more of these, but I'll cut my losses and pass.
