Test Run: Good Volume

I've been a ChicoBag user for several years, loving the portable, compact, attachable design. I've used their bags for gift bags (add a bow and you're ready to go!), shopping bags and I keep one in my purse for all those unexpected goodies I end up bringing home from just about everywhere I go.

All This Fits 

Inside the Bag

Yesterday I ventured into Costco to pick up a new Brita water filtering pitcher for my bathroom. I got tired of running to the kitchen for a glass of better tasting, healthier water. Our tap water sucks. Anyway, to my delight, my new Brita came with a ChicoBag inside. And not just the original. I was surprised to see this bag is a new design, made from recycled materials,  and much larger, for carrying groceries and such. I typed in their website address and found these facts for the bag I received (Vita rePETe):

Materials: Fabric 100% Recycled PET, Carabiner 97% Recycled Aluminum, Cord 100% Recycled PET, Cordlock 100% Recycled Polyurethane

Dimensions: Bag 19" x 15.5" Pouch 3.5" x 5" (approximately)

Capacity: 40 lbs.

Washing: Machine wash cold and hang dry.

Needless to say, I'm happy with the new bag and it's materials. I was pleasantly surprised to find a whole page of new designs--something for everybody--on the Chicobag webpage. Check it out. They have prints, messenger bags, specially designed grocery bags, and much more. I'm glad to see the world turning shopping bags into a fun new fashion statement. You?
