LET US EXPLAIN WHY BAGGUS ARE SO GOOD. We are working to replace our old friends, the paper & plastic bags, with something that does their job without creating needless waste or harming the environment. Using one Baggu for one year replaces hundreds of disposable bags.

Baggu bag handles are the perfect length. You can hold them in your hand, on your forearm, or over your shoulder.

They are made from super strong rip-stop nylon (holds 25 lbs) so they are light (2 oz) and compactible. They fold into a flat 5 by 5 inch pouch that easily slips in a purse or pocket. That way they are always handy when you need them.

Baggu bags have a nice big gusset in the bottom so they will sit flat when they are filled (good for eggs & milk.)

BAGGU WAS DESIGNED IN CALIFORNIA BY JOAN & EMILY SUGIHARA. They both saw the need for a better reusable bag, so they decided to make one. After dozens of prototypes, they came up with a solution that makes using reusable bags stylish, practical and easy.

They wanted to design a reusable bag that would function for both of them (mother and daughter). Emily lives in the city, where she shops on foot. She needs to have a bag or two that fold up small so she always has them in her purse ready for an unexpected errand.

Joan is a suburban "drives to the grocery store loads up her car" grocery shopper. Our shared interest is in making something useful, that is well thought out, and also fun & stylish.

They use lightweight, hard working fabrics to make bags that will perform years of service in all of our daily toting tasks. Groceries, books, gifts, pharmacy purchases, clothes and... All the tons of things we find ourselves accepting a disposable bag to bring home.

Changing our own shopping habits is one small thing we can do to make a difference. We hope you feel good every time you use your BAGGU.

PLASTIC BAGS & THE PLANET The average family brings home hundreds bags every year. Many of those bags end up in nature, which is not good for the animals and enviroment.

It can take up to 1000 years for a bag to decompose. Plastics don't biodegrade, they photo-degrade, breaking down into tiny toxic pieces that contaminate soil and water or harm wildlife.

Every time you use your Baggu bag instead of plastic or paper you are doing something good!
