Tote Bag Created Using Recycled Plastic Shopping Bags

A bag made from bags? Confused? These groovy tote bags are made from recycled plastic supermarket bags that have been cut into strips. These strips are then hand-woven on a loom to create a pliable and strong fabric which is then sewn into multi-purpose, reusable bags.

So stylish, so practical and so good for the environment - these smart looking tote bags have used 20 supermarket shopping bags that would have otherwise ended up in our oceans or landfill. Great for a reusable shopping bag, at the beach or the pool.

The bags are sturdy, and the plarn in wonderfully soft and tactile. The contrasting warp thread is in bright citrus colours.

All the plastic supermarket bags used in these totes have been collected by friends and family specifically for this project.

The bags can be washed down with the hose (after those beach trips) or run through a cold, gentle machine wash. Hang out on the line to dry!
