Flip & Tumble, makers of the remarkably well designed 24-7 reusable bag have recently expanded their lineup to add a number of new colors and charming printed designs for their bags.
I really like the Flip & Tumble bags. I did a piece on them last year when they first came out into the market with their 24-7 bag.
Their original 24-7 bag folded down into a tiny pouch. The latest version of the 24-7 looks identical to the original in design and collapses into a small ball shape which easily fits in a bag, purse or pocket.
The bags are made of nylon which a number of people in the green community are increasingly warming to because of its excellent respectability and durability.
Design has always been a key element of the Flip & Tumble bag. The company spent a great deal of time creating a bag ideally suited for shopping and easy transport. The small footprint of the 24-7 bag makes it easier to carry with you all the time. After all what good is a reusable bag if you forget it?
The new 24-7 bags are available in 10 cool new color combinations for $9 each. The bags with the print designs sell for $12. They're available at Amazon.com

Manufacturers, who provide these bags, may also provide custom packaging as well as custom printing to their customers. Retail bags can be an important tool in brand building retail stores and normally are of good quality. If you are looking for good quality bags, try looking on the Internet at BagsOnTheNet.com.

I prefer bags that are manufactured locally. There are a couple really great companies in the US that have bags completely manufactured here. My favorite is Green Chic Bag Company because of their awesome designs and quality. They are made in Portland, OR.

There is also B Happy bags which are made in the US.

These are cute bags.
I wonder how well they wash. As everyone knows, the one of the bad parts of long-lasting bags is that they get pretty nasty inside.
And, I'm with Kelly on the local factor. It's not a very sustainable, earth-friendly bag if it has to be shipped across the planet, not to mention the likely conditions in the manufacturing plant.

These bags are pretty cool and durable from what I can see. It would be interesting to know how they're dyed. For clothing, bags and other accessories that use non-polluting airdye (no water wasted at all) try (http://www.airdye.com) This technology is available through some manufacturers. Best, Dave

Those look pretty cool, but I've already found a reusable bag I love--Carebags. They're simply packaged, locally made in Canada, long lasting, and exceptionally versatile. Their breathable design makes it possible (and easy!) to buy, wash, and store your veggies in the bag, and keep 'em extra fresh while doing so. They're also great for making earthquake/first aid/snack kits, buying and washing bulk & dry foods, containing toiletries for travel and the damp ends of soap bars, and lots more. And after all that, they are machine washable. I don't know any other reusable bag like it!
