Stylish and reusable: Bags that fold up so small you'll never want to be without
With the government increasing the charge of plastic bags to 10p as well as rolling out the charge to all shops, can anyone really afford to not carry a reusable?
Baggu bags are stylish, fun and most importantly reusable. Thier mission is to make high quality, long lasting bags that feel good to use. Their standard bag can carry a whopping 22.5kgs of shopping yet they can be folded flat into a 12.5 x 12.5cm pouch making them small enough to never be without.
Sadie White - owner of White Space Home says that since she discovered Baggu bags ‘It has been a complete game changer. I used to be the kind of person who would get to the shop and realise that I had forgotten the bags or get to the checkout and realise that I had left them in the car. These days I always either have one in my coat pocket or in my handbag which means I don’t have to either a). juggle my shopping all the way home, or b). end up resorting to buying a ‘bag for life’ – which let’s face it really isn’t!”
On the success of the 5p levy, Environment Secretary Michael Gove said: "The 5p single-use plastic carrier bag charge has been extremely successful in reducing the amount of plastic we use in our everyday lives. Between us, we have taken over 15 billion plastic bags out of circulation. But we want to do even more to protect our precious planet”
Not only have Baggu designed their bags to minimise material waste; they are assembled from one continuous piece of material with the cut-out portion used to construct its carrying pouch. Each seam is double stitched to ensure that the bags are strong and long lasting. By using environmentally responsible dyes which are fully absorbed by the material, run off is also minimised. Baggu’s standard bags are made from nylon which is extremely lightweight, saving fuel when shipping and thus, lessening the carbon footprint.
