Baggu, which means “bag” in Japanese has been called the “It bag of the future” by Teen Vogue.

This practical and pretty stylish bag is one easy step all of us can take in helping save the planet. Baggu is machine washable and folds up into its own small pouch so that you can easily tuck it into your handbag or pocket.

Baggu is made of high strength ripstop nylon, and comes in lots of bright, fun colors and is totally reusable.

Some fun facts:

• 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 really strong ripstop nylon (which holds 25 lbs) yet they are light (they weigh just 2 oz) and are compact when folded up.
• Baggu bags have a nice big gusset in the bottom so they will sit flat when they are filled with things like milk or eggs.
• Baggu was designed by a mother-daughter team in California.
• Comes in lots of colors: Grey, Peach, Neon, Mint, Blue Stripe (shown), Grey Stripe, Red Stripe, Navy Stripe, Lime, Lavender, Sky, Mud, Persimmon, Kelly, Fuschia, Khaki, Navy, Red, Olive, Black, Saffron, Smoke, and Cobalt.

The average American family uses 1,000 grocery bags a year, and it can take up to 1,000 years for a standard plastic grocery bag to decompose. Use Baggu, and you’ll be doing your part to help save our planet.
