Turtle Bags Botanical Organic Cotton String Re-Usable Bag – Sage

These beautiful net turtle bags are Organic cotton with their famous 'short handle'. Their fantastic colour comes from vegetables. Thanks to the properties of the pomegranate, flame of the forest and the madder plant we are able to offer these new beautifully coloured string bags.

These bags can take up to 40kg in weight. They are flexible so you can fit so much in them and lightweight so you can roll them up and store away when not.

Also available in Kids, and Long handled.

Our organic cotton bags are certified under the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), which means no chemical pesticides or fertilisers are used in the production of the fabric and farmers must work under safe conditions with an agreed minimum wage.

Way back in 2001 when plastic bags were still spilling off the end of our supermarket tills, Turtle Bags was established to raise awareness of the hazards of plastic bags and sell alternatives.

Plastic in our seas is a problem which is invisible to most of us in our daily lives but will be causing problems for many decades disrupting food chains and suffocating sealife.

We work with our fair trade partners who share our environmental values to supply environmentally friendly bags.
