Envirosax Review & Giveaway!


I love using reusable shopping bags instead of plastic! I feel like it is my little way to help save the environment. But, finding a bag that is stylish, functional, and easy to remember, isn't always the easiest task. When I first saw Envirosax online, I was extremely impressed with the wide range of stylish designer-style reusable bags they carry. I was happy to see the funky designs and bright colors that their bags offer.

Envirosax were created to help ensure a bright future for our planet. Envirosax are proud to offer a stylish eco-friendly bag to replace the overused plastic bags that many of us still use. The bags that Envirosax makes are made to be lightweight, easily portable and waterproof.

Review
I was lucky enough to get the chance to review one of Envirosax's bags from the brand new Botanica Series: Botanica Bag 1. "The Botanica Series is inspired by the earth's beautiful, lush and bountiful rainforests. Bold in colour and imagery, Botanica is a daily reminder of Mother Earth's natural splendor!"

What I love most about these bags is how stylish they are. I love the bold colors and unique designs included in all the Envirosax bags. In addition to a shopping bag, these bags could easily double up as a book bag, a tote bag or a bag for the beach.

Another great thing about these bags is the portability of them. Each bag comes with a built in snap strap that allows it to easily roll up after use. After rolling the bag up, it forms a small cylinder shape, which can easily be stored in the car, your purse or your jacket.

What shocked me most about this bag was the size of it; it's huge! Did you know that one Envirosax bag holds the same amount that two standard size plastic shopping bags can? Reinforced seams allow each bag to tolerate a heavier load, leaving you with fewer bags to carry from the car to the house. For me, this is a really important aspect for a shopping bag to have. I am the type of person that tries to grab as many bags as possible at once just to avoid leaving one or two lonely bags in the car for a second trip.

The fashionable appearance, the portability and the size of this bag make it a perfect choice for my next shopping trip.

How many winners will there be? Three.

  9. I think the Linen Bag 5 (Owls)is so sweet. It is not all boring like a lot of the others ones. Plus I am a huge fan of owls and saving the environment.

  10. I love these bags. I think I'm a "bag lady" or at least that's what people must think when I go to the store - and every one is different. Its my way of doing something to decrease the plastic overload.

    I love the Mikado 3 bag.

    I already proudly sport your button.

    I will be posting this on my blog as soon as I hit "post". http://katsdailyinspiration.blogspot.com/
