Why can’t I just use paper and/or plastic?     You can.  However, even Forbes.com will tell you that “A bill before the General Assembly would prohibit retailers from using or distributing non-biodegradable plastic bags on or after Jan. 1, 2010.”  Not only that, but most (if not all) major cities around the globe will eventually ban all plastic bags in grocery stores.  San Francisco has already caught on; plastic bags are banned in pharmacies as well as major grocery store chains.  Let’s be honest…it’s really bad for the environment. And we all know it.

What are they made of?     its-laS-tik reusable shopping/grocery bags are made of stretchy, flexible nylon and lycra blend in highly fashionable prints.  They move, they stretch, they take the shape of what you put into them. And when you’re done… they bounce right back to their original shape. its-laS-tik actually mimics the bounce in your step. And who ever said helping the environment means you can’t look good? Let’s face it, colorless, lifeless fabric isn’t exactly fashionable.  Liven it up with its-laS-tik

How much does it hold?     As a general rule of thumb, its-laS-tik bags can hold twice what you carry in a normal plastic grocery bag. However, it really all depends on your packing style and what you’re carrying.  its-laS-tik bags are made to hold anything and everything.  Big, small, heavy, light… they move with you and STRETCH, making it feel like you aren’t really carrying much.  Videos of its-laS-tik in action, coming soon.

What else can I use it for?     Absolutely anything you can or want to put in a bag.  For instance: carry your gym clothes, laundry, knitting or baby toys.  Bring it to the store when you shop for toiletries, books or even a Home Depot trip (and we know how heavy those bags can get).  Carry your high-heeled shoes to the office, take it to the beach or on a picnic.  its-laS-tik can go anywhere and carry anything!
