These bags are heavy duty and the carrying pouch makes them very convenient to take into the store.I’m very happy with this product. All of the bags fit into a small bag and each one is sturdy and durable. No more bulky bags to lug around and they clean up nice in the washing machine.Although the fabric is slightly heavier, these bags replace a lost set of favorite nylon bags wonderfully.The bags are soft and easy to fold. Compact enough to fit in your car's water bottle holder. Best on the marketLOVE, LOVE, LOVE...these bags! They are just like their old OliveSmart bags and I couldn't ask for more except more in other pretty more feminine colors so I can gift these as hostess gifts and to all my women friends. I like to have a couple for grocery shopping and at couple for clothes shopping. I like the sets of 3 rather than the sets of 6 because I prefer the wide opening and long handles rather than the narrow bags with narrow openings.I purchased the OliveSmart bags many, many years ago and still own them all and they still look brand new. All I get are compliments from the baggers and checkers at every grocery store I ever go to and even when I travel! Everyone wants to know where to buy them and until now I haven't know where to direct them. I have been searching this company out for years and finally tracked them down. In fact, as soon as I found them I immediately purchased the 6 pack and was so disappointed when I got them because they weren't the same. I mean the material and quality was there but they were narrow and had short handles and they just felt so small and not to my liking or preference (my personal choice, of course). I wrote to the owner and she immediately accepted them back and explained that the 3 pack was just like my old bags and sent me a coupon code for 25% off my puchase through their website which I thought was so sweet and thoughtful. However it still was cheaper and faster to go through Amazon because I didn't have to pay the shipping cost so I never got to use the discount. I love my new bags and even though I have more than enough...I want to buy more!!! So I'm hoping they come out with some new pretty colors (for my personal collection) and eventually so I can purchase these as gifts - ladies - perfect gift for your mom's, hostess gifts, party favors. I mean who doesn't need shopping bags, especially in CA?LOVE these bags. I always have one (folded into a secure little square using only the bag itself) in my purse, and after I use it I am meticulous about putting it back in my purse. I never want to be without one! These are sturdy little beauties that can even be put in the pocket of your jeans and taken along on a brisk walk. I often take a walk at lunch to a grocery store about a mile from my office, and this gives me a way to reliably carry my purchases.The straps fit more comfortably over my arm/shoulder than the tiny ones sold at the grocery store.I love these bags! As one who used to carry around the myriad freebies of different shapes and sizes, I've since given those all away and instead use these tidy, always-with-me, washable and durable bags. They come in a little pouch that easily fits in a purse - or in a car cupholder. Just as importantly, they're good lookin' - probably as good lookin' as shopper bag can be, honestly - and put to shame those big, bulky bags that one is embarassed to even carry through the parking lot. The material is completely opaque with a subtle sheen, but strong & whisper-light. This is probably my 8th set, as friends keep complimenting me and I keep offering them up... Makes a GREAT stocking stuffer, as will definitely fit, and also great for men as well as women, as the style is minimalistic (and easily hidden when not in use). Thank you, UMB!!I like that they fold up and the case for them fits in the cup holder of my car. They are always there when I need them. They clean up easy as well. I just toss them into the washing machine to clean them.
