Introduction

A zipper pouch that unfolds into a eco/shopping bag!

There are 7 different sizes in this pattern, namely XS, S, M, L, Bento Couple, Bento Family and Ramen Tower. You could choose to make it with an internal slip pocket OR a zippered version of it (fully lined). This pocket is also where the entire bag could be folded and tucked into as well. How compact and convenient to carry along in your purse!

The XS, S, M and L sizes are sizes similar to the plastic bags that we typically use in our everyday life. The Bento Couple and Family sizes have got very wide bases which allow for Bento/lunch boxes to fit into comfortably without tipping over. The last size, which I termed Ramen Tower, is ideal for carrying rounded containers typically used for soups or noodles.

REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE. Let's work towards a sustainable future by reducing plastic waste!

Product Features

A compact, tote style bag that folds flat  and tucked away easily within its own hanging pouch! You can choose to make the hanging pouch with or without the zipper.
