Reusable Shopping Bag: A Review of the ChicoBag: The Good

What caught my attention about the ChicoBag
 are its wonderful features.

1) It stuffs into its own pouch which is sewed to the inside of the bag. Because of this, you never lose the pouch. 2) The bag is about 3"X4"so it's small when it's stuffed inside the pouch. This makes it convenient to carry with you at all times.
3) Not only is it small, but a drawstring and a keyring clip are on the pouch. You can then clip the bag to your purse, backpack or even a belt loop so you always have it with you.

I really like the clip feature because I often have unplanned stops at stores. You can read my humorous article about my shopping trips and how much trouble I have remembering to bring my bags with me. You will see how important this clip is to me.

4) The ChicoBag expands to about 14"X18" and holds 25 lbs. or 2 gallons of milk.
5) And when you purchase 5 of the bags, you get the 5th one free.
6) The bags are washable and come in 10 beautiful colors like hunter green, mango and blue.
7) They are made of a strong polyester weave that looks good when expanded and is lightweight.

I love all the features of the bag. With a keyring clip, I attach it to my purse so I carry it with me all the time. It always looks nice whether it's stuffed into its small pouch or expanded when I need it. And the company uses Fair Trade practice and supports environmental concerns so I whole-heartedly support the company too.

Reusable Shopping Bag: A Review of the ChicoBag: The Bad

There is one flaw though. Two of my ChicoBags showed signs of wear in about 2 months' time. The threads in the bottom seam of the bags made big holes in the polyester. It's as if the threads pull the seam holes and stretches the fabric when there is too much weight in the bag. Because of this, I don't feel I can carry anything heavy in the ChicoBag. My girlfriend had the same problem with her ChicoBag too.
