ChicoBag is fantastic eco-friendly company that has created a line of reusable bags in an awesome variety of styles and designs. The founder, Andy Keller, stopped using single-use plastic bags after a visit to his local landfill, and he hasn’t looked back since that fateful day in 2004. The Original ChicoBag reusable bag was appropriately first sold on Earth Day, 2005, and has evolved from white, to ten colors and numerous fabulous prints.
Since their Original ChicoBag hit the market, they have expanded to have a fantastic variety of bags, bottle slings, accessories, and other products in vibrant colors and very cool designs built on themes including Zen, Earthday, Blossoms, Karma, Monsters and so many other designs it’s hard to pick a favorite. Their line of rePETe™ products are made up to 100% of recycled materials, depending on the design, and bring their eco-message to an even higher plateau.
ChicoBags range in price from $5.99 for the Original in ten colors and $6.99 for prints, to $12.99 for the Vita bag which holds up to 40 pounds, to $39.99 for their Duffle RePETe that comes in five different colors and, as with all ChicoBags, folds into a pouch no bigger than a few decks of cards.They also create custom bags where you can select the style, color and provide the artwork for eco-friendly marketing ideas. Additionally, they are a fantastic resource for fundraisers, as they help different organizations raise money while reducing our trash output. Visit them at http://www.chicobag.com/ for more information about their custom and fundraising programs.
Personally, I love the fact that each bag completely folds into its own little pouch. I can toss a few into my bag when I head out to the market and they’re so light-weight, you don’t even realize you’re carrying them. The pouch clip is another fantastic feature, because when I head to the beach, they easily hold all four full-sized towels and I never lose my keys!
