"Paper or Plastic?"

The ubiquitous question. And yeah, we hear you. We too want our carbon footprint to be smaller, but like you, we often forget our reuseable bags in the car or at home in a drawer. Forget the guilt. ecoSilk bags make it possible to answer the "paper or plastic" query with a "neither, I have my own, thanks."

Ecosilk Bags are constructed from parachute silk so they are soft enough to tuck into a pocket, but durable enough to hold thirty pounds of groceries. They are machine washable and last 5 years on average, with regular use. The bags sport a variety of vibrant colors as well as several dark "man colors". So there can be no excuses for quick stops at the stores.

These versatile bags can be purchased individually, or with a small drawstring bag which can hold up to ten or twelve ecoSilk shopping bags. It's not that often that beauty and convenience can be so easily married while contributing to the health of our planet.

Each year Americans consume more than 500 billion plastic grocery bags each year. These bags clog landfills, kill sea life, and harm our stressed ecosystem. In addition, being a petroleum product, plastic bags add to our reliance on foreign oil, increase our country's trade deficit, and take thousands of years to break down. Breaking habits is usually hard. ecoSilk Bags make breaking the plastic habit easy and stylish.
