I own too many tote bags. I have a trunk full of the re-usable Trader Joes's and Whole Foods Bags. I buy every tote bag I see. I can claim that I am really trying to be eco-friendly, or that I am a tote bag addict. Maybe a little of both. I refuse to use the boring canvas bags that my husband brings back from conferences. With the many choices of re-usable bags, I no longer have to use those.
However, the sad truth is that I often forget to bring my bags to the store with me. Then I found a solution. I was at SFMOMA with my family last week, and saw the compact, very cool Envirosax bag. Of course, I just had to buy one. I placed it in my purse, and forgot that I even had it...until yesterday. We are in Hawaii and I forgot to pack a beach bag. I was all set to have to buy something from the over priced hotel gift shop, when I found my Envirosax bag. I unrolled it, and I had a hip, cool, usable beach tote. Envirosax saved the day!
I have just read about a tote bag you may want to add to your collection. It is made with fabric used for wetsuits. The company has made bottle tote bags (keep wine cold), insulated lunch bags, laptop cases, a duffle, as well as tote bags of various designs and sizes. Check out their website: builtny.com. You'll like the bright colors!
