As you know, our bags are made with donated materials, by caring volunteers, which helps enormously to keep the costs of the project to a minimum. However, there are always costs - from thread to printing ink to the little recycled nylon labels, to storage space and machine maintenance... So far these costs have been met by Stitch Kitchen (community enterprise which runs this an other textile-waste reducing projects), but we need to work towards this project being truly sustainable - financially as well as socially and environmentally.

This is why we decided to offer the opportunity to not only borrow our bags through community bag libraries, but to permanently adopt our bags, to keep as your own, or give as gifts.

We now have two bag options, plus a handy little purse which is made from the bag off-cuts (making the bags zero waste!):
The original 'all-the-bells-and-whistles bag-to-make-all-other-tote-bags-jealous' bag, which has extra strong straps hugging the whole bag, elastic loop and button closure, and side tunnels for easy packing at supermarket checkouts.

These are $20 each.

(Theses are 'limited edition' as we made about 100 before switching styles earlier this year.)

We also have our new design, which is slightly more compact. Still features our awesome screen-printed pocket; french seamed construction; care label (with name of fabulous volunteer who made the bag), and strong, user-friendly straps.

These are just $15.

In keeping with our 'waste not want not' philosophy, we have also created super cute little coin purses/keep sake bags, using the offcuts from the bags.

These are just $5.
