b. happy bags are tough

b. happy bagsI know I've mentioned before that I have a lot of reusable bags. Overall, I am usually pretty happy with the variety of bags I have. But a few weeks ago I spent some time with my sewing machine repairing bags that had handles that had come off, and seams that had frayed. I apparently am hard on my bags.

While I did feel very responsible taking the time to fix what I had instead of just buying something new, I felt frustrated that the bags weren't holding up all that well. I wanted a few that would be stronger. Tougher. Enter b. happy bags.

These bags are seriously strong. I bought 30 pounds of apples shortly after I got my bag and it was no big deal. The bags are made in the USA out of upholstery weight fabrics or fabric made from recycled water bottles. The handles are made from heavy-duty webbing.

Even better the bags are machine washable (and they don't shrink), made from fun and funky prints and fold up small enough to fit into your purse (or pocket). The bags stand up square and hold a ton of groceries but without any plastic insert in the bottom so they fold up perfectly.

I keep one in my purse all the time. It's lime green zebra print. It makes me happy just looking at it. You can also get holiday and seasonal themed bags. They have some great options for a reusable trick-or-treat bag that would hold a ton of stuff.
