These really are one of my favourite things in the kitchen. Fabulous sturdy bags that seem to be bottomless, the Jutexpo bags get used again and again. The brown bag on the left is from Unicorn Grocery, an independent food co-op in South Manchester. It's from a range of clever iconic bags that are quickly becoming the trendy fashion accessory for the area. It's deceptive small size makes it convenient to carrying around, yet it can hold an amazing amount of groceries. I frequently use it as packed lunch for a whole weekend's worth of food. The second bag is a new release from Tesco, across the natural pale background marches a line of ruby red ladybirds. Certainly a popular bag, we bought one late at night when the racks were fully stocked; by next morning they were all gone and we've not seen them since. Larger than the Unicorn Bag the Tesco bag has a surprisingly soft handle and loads of room. All the bags are made of Jute and easily bio-degrade at the end of their life. The insides feature a smooth coating which is at least water resistant, making them ideal for carrying frozen and chilled foods. Both bags have thick durable handles that are comfortable for carrying even heavy loads without hurting your hands. And best of all they are only £2-£3, so you can afford to leave a couple in the boot of your car. An environmentally and morally sound product that takes pride in its fairtrade policy and Climateneutral status, saving the world has never been so easy. To order a similar product on line try the Eden Project store where they have Green Jute bags for £3.50.
