The reusable shopping bags that I received from wrapsacks two years ago are still going strong. Not only have they been under constant use for shopping, they have also served as beach bags and even travel bags. I always have our cloth shopping bags stored in a zippered outside pocket on our luggage when we are traveling. Reducing plastic waste can be very challenging when moving from one place to another.
During the last two years I have also used other reusable shopping bags. Some of them wore out prematurely because of bad design. Some of them were used to contain items that we were giving to friends or donating to charity. Others were simply left in our rented homes when we moved on.
The most common problem with all the inferior shopping bags was handle failure. A shopping gab without handles is next to useless. The two wrapsack bags that we have had since 2009 have handle material that goes all the way to the bottom of the bag.
