Deluxe Organic Cotton Grocery Bag with Bottle Sleeves - Natural (3 Pack)
We have built in all of the best features of function and comfort into our Deluxe Grocery Bag. The size is the same as a paper grocery bag, not too big and not too small. Exterior piping stitching gives the bag strength and support to stand up while loading. Six interior sleeves can be used to hold bottles and tall items in place. Long lasting, heavy-duty construction will allow you to save paper and plastic bags for many years. Don't be fooled by cheap polyester and synthetic reusable bags. They are actually made from oil and are NOT biodegradable. Our bags are made of ORGANIC COTTON. Although higher in cost, it provides huge benefits to the environment and our health by avoiding the highly toxic pesticides, fertilizers and processing chemicals used in regular cotton crops. Washing and Care: These bags are made of heavy-duty 11 oz. canvas and will last for many years. They are easy to care for by washing them in COLD water and flat or line drying. Color bags are prewashed during the dyeing process so the fabric is softer and shrinkage is minimal. Natural bags are unprocessed canvas so they're initially much stiffer. After the first few washes Natural bags MAY appear excessively wrinkled and shrunken, depending on your water hardness and laundry detergent. DON'T BE ALARMED. You can stretch them back out and reduce the wrinkles by pulling on the fabric when the bag is wet. You'll be very surprised how much the canvas stretches back out, and the wrinkles recede. After stretching, fold it flat and air dry. When bags are filled with heavy loads they will also stretch out and soften, until they are "broken in". Over time the natural bags become softer, similar to the color bags. The Natural bags permanent shrinkage will be 8-10% (~1 1/4") in length and 5% (~3/4") or less in width.
