These bags are the perfect size for shopping. The handle is comfortable when carrying a bag that is loaded. I have never had a problem with these bags handling heavy weights as advertised.I have a variety of these bags and haven't had any problems. I like this style of handle. I love that they fold up nicely into their own attached pouch. I load them up with a ton of groceries and goods and never had one fail. My only complaint is you get whatever patterns you get in these 5 packs - you can't pick your faves.Love these bags! I bought a couple multipacks at the start of covid and ordered another set recently. The patterns are really cool and these bags last a long time. You can carry so much stuff and it makes grocery shopping easier too. I use it for shopping, laundry, picnicking, beach trips, etc. If they get dirty I just toss them in the washer.The bags are nice and strong to go food shoppingI finally got tired of recycling plastic bags at the market, so I ordered this set of pink and brown reusable grocery bags. Laid flat, they measure 17" x 19" -- not including the handles. The bags are 100% nylon and seem fairly well made. Each bag has its own pouch attached. If you fold it just right, you can get the bag to fit into the pouch. There is a video online.I found the bags too long to fit on the bag holders at the supermarket. There is not a flat bottom to these bags so they do not stand on their own. I found that if I put some flat or heavier things in the bottom of the bag, they will stand up just fine. Then I fill the bag the rest of the way with lighter items. I was really able to get alot into each bag. There is a bit of a learning curve to packing the bags. You can either sling the bag over your shoulder or use your forearm to hang the bag on. I found that I had fewer trips from the car to the kitchen. No problem with the bags tearing. They are strong and hold a lot of weight.These Chinese bags are machine washable in cold on a gentle cycle. They should be laid flat or hung to dry. I would absolutely recommend the bags to anyone. 5 stars from me.I live in a state that has banned single use plastics. My choices are to use paper bags with no handles that some stores provide, to buy bags while in checkout lines, or to take my own. I have always kept bags in the truck of my car but have often forgot to take them in stores, especially if I were just grabbing one or two items.These bags have solved my problems. I still keep them in my trunk for large orders, but I always have 2 folded in my purse.The bags are very sturdy and can hold much more than standard plastic bags. You do not need to worry about a box edge puncturing these bags.Each one has 2 loops at the top so you can clip them on to a carabiner clip to keep tidy.The handles are strong and have a decent length. I can carry them on my shoulder like a purse.The nice part is that you can toss them in the washer if they get dirty.I can not stress enough how much I love these bags. I am planning on purchasing a set for each of my family members as gifts.These reusable grocery bags are perfect. Substantial fabric, large size with a bottom that sits flat making it easy to fill, long handles that will fit over your shoulder, and they fold down or roll into almost nothing so you can stick them in your purse or bag, glove compartment, trunk etc. without taking up a lot of space. I use them for all kinds of things- not just groceries and the prints are adorable. What I like best about these, though, is that they are washable. I throw these in the washing machine and then hang them to dry. They dry quickly too. I've now bought a lot of these. Perfection.Love these bags for taking to grocery stores when plastic bags aren’t an option. They are great for bringing groceries since the material seems easily washable and wipeable. Also all the designs are so cute!
