What fun is a reusable bag if you don't want to show it off?
The rainbow tote is machine-embroidered on fabric made from 100% recycled materials. The totes are sturdy and washable, intended for daily use.
The perfect thank you gift, each tote in this series replaces the ubiquitous single-use plastic bags issued by convenience stores with a friendly reminder to reuse and recycle.
Designed to commemorate San Francisco's historic legislation enacting the first plastic bag ban in the USA in 2007, this series now celebrates worldwide efforts to continue the 'ban on the bag'.
