ChicoBags Reusable Bag Eco Product Review

April 14, 2008 · Written by Joel

Another reusable bag is on test, this time a ChicoBag reusable bag.

ChicoBag Reusable Bag

Coming with an integrated pouch and a handy carabiner for attaching to a keychain, ChicoBags are pretty easy to carry with you and not suddenly realise at the checkout that you’ve left it at home. The size is 18″x18″ (3″x4″ in the pouch), can carry about 20lbs and weighs a small 1.5oz.

They also have their own Bag Monster blog which has amusing videos of a plastic bag monster terrorizing people on the street and being “attacked” by small children.

ChicoBags cost $5 each or you can get 5 for $20.

    I found their site a couple of hours ago and stumbled it. The movie had me rolling on the floor! I also enjoyed the list of things about plastic bags. Whoever wrote the site has some talent………oh and the product looks good also.

    There is a similar bag made from recycled cotton and cassette tapes. It is a fair trade product from India, and it rolls into a small pouch as well.

    You can find the wholesale information here:

    I like the bag they sell at http://www.mybagcares.com it was in the Star Magazine the other day. I just ordered mine. I will keep everyone posted on how I like it when I receive it in two days. What I like the most is that they plant a tree for every bag sold, so one has been planted in my name. Yipeeeee!!!!!!

    Thanks Tamie, I’ll definitely take a look. Please do let us know, I’m writing a reusable bag comparison chart that will be done soon too.

    Speaking of a comparison chart, I just saw one yesterday when surfing, and it was excellent - compared Envirosax vs. RuMe bags vs. Chico bags. Check it out here:
