Drawstring Lace Produce Bags

Washable shopping bag made of transparent or semi transparent textile waste (curtains). The upper part of the bag is strenghtened with colorful leftover textiles, and drawstrings included.

Since the bags are made of leftover textiles, the actual pieces might differ from the picture.

The drawstring lace bags are a staple in any zero waste home. They'll help you buy and carry home various products without the use of any plastic.

Choose the size according to what produce you're buying in bulk!

The small size is ideal for smaller quantities of dried fruit, nuts and seeds, while the larger ones are excellent for vegetable, fruit, pasta and legumes.

If you want to avoid any contamination, you can put labels or decorate the bags, to help deciding which to use for what.

Many worry what the cashiers will say if you use your own produce bags instead of the plastic bags found in supermarket aisles. We say from our experience, that the feedback is mostly positive or neutral. Try it in every shop you go to, as this will spread knowledge about phenomenon, and more and more shops will know about this new need of eco-conscious customers. If any question is raised, go with a simple answer of why you find this important! It may very well result in winning a new person or an entire company to the zero waste movement! Let's spread the plastic free revolution! ;)

Sizes:

small 20x25 cm (weight: 10-12g)
medium 25x30 cm (weight: 20-23g)
large 35x40 cm (weight: 40-45g)

The weight and the material of the bags are different for each piece as these bags are made of leftover textile pieces and old curtains.

We recommend washing these bags on lower temperatures, 30 or 40°C, using lighter centrifugation or by putting the bags in a washing bag in order to protect the lace material from eventual zips or velcro on other clothes. Since the bags are made of processed textile, no shrinking to be expected after washing.
