• The Criteria: What to Look for in a Reusable Grocery Bag

Our Favorite Reusable Grocery Bags

The competition, why we’re the experts, straight to the point.

The best reusable grocery bag is from Colony Co —it’s spacious, durable, and easy to tote. We also liked the flip-top insulated shopping bag from Veno , which kept groceries neatly packed.

Four years ago, as an environmental reporter in Rhode Island, I lived and breathed the beat of single-use plastics. I even interviewed a woman known as “the founding mother” of a town’s plastic bag ban.

Fast forward to today and bag bans (of the plastic varietal) are more ubiquitous; many grocery stores either don’t carry bags or have flimsy paper ones that don’t hold up from the store to the car to the kitchen counter. 

Enter the reusable grocery bag: A practical way to lug groceries without throwing a bag away every time. But what’s the point if the handle breaks or the bag rips? That’s just one more bag in a landfill. To find a durable option that’ll last you a long time (and many grocery trips), I tested 11 bags of various materials, shapes, and sizes by packing, unpacking, and lugging loads of groceries for over a month. 

The Best Reusable Grocery Bag

Colony co reusable waxed canvas grocery bag.

While this looks like a paper bag, it’s made of beeswax-coated canvas, so it’s easy to prop open and fill. It’s spacious, sturdy, and a pleasure to carry thanks to its wide handles. 

The Best Budget-Friendly Grocery Bag

Veno bag insulated reusable grocery bag.

This rectangular, boxy bag is super easy to open and fill; it’s also quite spacious and lightly insulated, making it great for toting chilled goods.

The Best Insulated Reusable Grocery Bag

Packit freezable grocery shopping bag.

If you want heavy-duty insulation, you can tuck this bag into the freezer before your grocery run (it has a built-in ice pack on the bottom). The zipper opened smoothly, and the bag stood tall and was easy to fill. 

The Best Collapsible Reusable Grocery Bag Set

Beegreen reusable grocery bag, 10-pack.

While I wasn’t a huge fan of floppy bags, this set sported flat-ish bottoms, which made them easy to prop open and fill. The bags were also roomy and comfy to carry. 

Another Great Collapsible Reusable Grocery Bag Set

Bagpodz reusable shopping bags.

If you’d rather tote smaller bags than lug a big one, this set comes with 10 sturdy bags. 

The Best Collapsible Reusable Grocery Bag Upgrade

Baggu standard reusable shopping bag.

While it might not seem all that different from the BeeGreen and BagPodz bags, the Baggu features reinforced stitching, which bodes well for its durability. It also comes in a dazzling array of fun colors and patterns.

• Filling and Emptying Test: I filled each bag with a variety of goods, including heavy items like canned seltzer, and fragile things like avocados and tomatoes . I noted how big the bags were and how easy they were to fill and empty. I also toted them around to see if they were comfortable to carry when full. 
• Durability Test: I used the winning bags during grocery trips for over a month, noting how easy they were to fill and carry, and if they held up over time. 
• Cleaning Test: I cleaned the bags per manufacturer instructions (spot-cleaning for some and using the washing machine for others). 

Structured Bags Were Better 

You know the dream: sashaying through a farmer’s market on a sunny Saturday morning, French net bags filled with juicy tomatoes, a bunch of organic beets, and a sourdough baguette peaking perkily out of the bag—bliss!

Except it’s all a lie—okay, well, just the bags are. The truth is, floppy, collapsible bags, like the ones from Junes , are a pain for your average grocery run. They sit in a puddle when you try to fill them, sag in all the wrong places, squish food, and dig into your shoulders or hands. Net bags are especially awful; I bought a bunch when they became trendy a few years ago, but the netting broke in spots and I once left a trail of plums in my wake (kidding, but also, not kidding). 

The best bag is a well-structured, sturdy one, like the gorgeous waxed canvas offering from Colony Co or the rectangular option from Veno —both stood tall and straight in the bagging area and were easy to fill with no flopping or sagging. This style of bag is oftentimes more spacious, too: I easily fit an 8-pack of seltzer, three 28-ounce cans of whole tomatoes, a large bag of brown sugar , a bag of grapes, two Roma tomatoes, and two avocados. Because of their tall, rigid shape, nothing shifted or squished. Plus, the small sturdy handles kept my soft writer’s hands in pristine condition; no ripstop nylon digging into my palms.  

All that said, I do have a few collapsible bag picks since they're admittedly great in a pinch; you can easily crumple one up and tuck it in your purse, or keep one in your car’s glove compartment for an impromptu grocery run (they also double nicely as gym bags). They’re just not great for hauling loads of groceries, and if you do spring for one, avoid nets at all costs. 

Stiffer, Rectangular Bottoms Provided Support

The bags I preferred (like the Colony Co and Veno) had semi-stiff, rectangular bottoms that didn’t sag; I could pick up the bag and not worry about items slipping toward the center or ending up in a jumbled heap. This was not the case with some of the collapsible bags, which sagged, causing items to shift around when carried. That said, if you want a set of collapsible bags to have on hand, some, like the BeeGreen bags, did have a somewhat flat, rectangular base which was better at keeping items in place.  

A Good Bag Was Easy to Fill and Carry

Beyond sturdiness, which helped with filling and emptying a bag, I also liked bags that had wide openings that weren’t impeded by handles or pockets. The Capabunga bag was cute and sturdy, but it featured lots of pockets (with the theory being you could slot a carton of eggs, a bottle, or a baguette into them). While a nice idea, they got in the way; plus, if you have anything poking out of the pockets, like a celery bunch or a baguette , it impedes handle access. Speaking of handles, wide, stiff ones were best; the thin ripstop nylon and polyester bag handles dug into my palms and shoulder when loaded up. 

Bigger Wasn’t Always Better 

While it’s tempting to buy the biggest bag you can find, there’s a catch to all this space: you end up overstuffing the bag, making it heavy, bulky, and difficult to carry. This is exactly what happened with the Rachael Ray Jumbo Chillout Thermal Tote ; I filled the massive 1.75 cubic foot bag to the brim, zipped it up, and then basically had to do a deadlift to hoist the thing out of my car’s trunk. This is not ideal. In the end, I preferred bags that yes, were capacious, but not SO big they were impossible to carry without throwing out your back. I also liked some more petite bags, like the BagPodz ; they’re about the same size as a standard plastic grocery bag and are easy to carry since they don’t hold too much. That said, it does mean making multiple trips to the car to bring groceries inside.  

Stitching and Construction Were Important for Durability

I didn’t have any issues with bags ripping or fraying in my tests, but upon further inspection, some were better constructed than others—and this was especially true of the nylon and polyester bags. While these materials are known for being durable (ripstop nylon is often what companies use to make hiking backpacks since it’s tough and fairly waterproof), if the stitching is poor, there’s more of a chance that one day you’ll unfurl your bag and find a ripped seam. While I did like the cheaper bags from BagPodz and BeeGreen, they only had single or double stitching holding them together. The Baggu had a single stitch AND a complex row of stitches underneath. All of these bags sailed through my durability tests, but I’m curious to see how they hold up over long-term testing. 

The Criteria: What to Look for in a Reusable Grocery Bag 

A good reusable grocery bag should be durable and last a long time. It should also be easy to fill and unpack and have handles that don’t dig into your palms or shoulders when the bag’s loaded up. While I prefer stiffer, structured bags, if you like to have a few collapsible bags on hand for unexpected grocery runs, look for bags with a flat piece of material on the bottom (to keep items sorted), and solid, reinforced stitching. 

What we liked: I thought it was gimmicky at first glance (a reusable bag shaped like a paper bag?), but when I got my hands on it and my groceries in it, I had a large slice of humble pie. This is an excellent bag: It’s durable and spacious without being too big, and the stiff canvas keeps the bag standing upright and open when it’s time to checkout. The handles don’t dig into your hands, everything inside stays put, and it’s easy to carry—what more could you ask for? (I've also gotten multiple compliments from grocery store cashiers when I use it— just sayin'!)

What we didn’t like: If you want to buy multiples of this bag, it’s pricey. It’s also bulky when folded up. 

• Stated capacity: NA
• Open dimensions: 17 x 12 x 7 inches
• Weight limit: NA
• Materials: Beeswax, canvas
• Cleaning and care: Spot clean with a damp cloth

What we liked: This spacious bag is lightweight and easy to stow, but sturdy and spacious when filled. I liked the flip-top zippered lid and wide opening, as well as the spacious rectangular shape; it was easy to add and layer goods without worrying about items shifting. The handles are wide and soft, too. Plus, this bag comes in packs of two. 

What we didn’t like: The insulation isn’t very thick, so it’s not great for storing cold items for a long time. While the bottom is structured and rectangular, it isn’t super stiff and does sag when filled with heavier items.

• Stated capacity: 7.8 gallons
• Open dimensions: 15.8 x 13 x 8.7 inches
• Weight limit: 30 lbs
• Materials: Recycled polypropylene polymer fabric
• Cleaning and care: NA

What we liked: This bag is great if you have a long drive to the grocery store and want to keep perishables cool since it has an ice pack built into it—just fold the bag up and tuck it in the freezer a few hours before you head out. The bag is also quite spacious and pretty easy to fill, with a zipper that divides the opening. 

What we didn’t like: While the bag stood upright at the checkout, I would have liked it if the opening had been designed differently. As it is, you have to hold the opening apart to fill the bag.  

• Open dimensions: 14 x 12 x 7 inches
• Materials: Polyester canvas
• Cleaning and care: Wipe the cooler grocery bag thoroughly or hand wash the interior and spot clean the exterior; allow the bag to dry completely before freezing. Not machine washable.

The Best Collapsible Grocery Bag Set

What we liked: While I generally didn’t love floppy, collapsible bags, the bags in this set had a somewhat structured rectangular bottom, which made them easier to open and fill. The ripstop nylon is tough, too; I loaded the bags up with heavy items, like seltzer and sports drinks, without any wear or tear. Plus, you get 10 (colorful!) bags for a mere $1.75 each—which is a great deal considering a single Baggu bag (which is made of the same material and has a similar shape) costs $14.

What we didn’t like: The nylon handles do dig into your palms a bit, and the bags are floppy and more difficult to fill than a very structured bag. The stitching looks less durable than other similar bags tested. 

• Bags in set: 10
• Open dimensions: 17.75 x 15 x 8.5 inches
• Weight limit: 50 lbs
• Materials: Ripstop nylon
• Cleaning and care: Machine-washable

Another Great Collapsible Bag Set

What we liked: This is a great set if you like toting smaller bags; while they’re still spacious and can hold a good amount, they aren’t as big as, say, the BeeGreen, which makes them easier to carry when full. They also have a rectangular bottom, which gives the floppy bags some structure when you’re filling them. They’re affordable, too, clocking in at $3.80 per bag. 

What we didn’t like: The handles are small (you can’t slip them over your shoulder) and dig into your palms, and goods are more likely to shift around. The bags in this set are also more petite than other options in this review, so keep that in mind. 

• Stated capacity: 2 to 3 grocery bags worth 
• Open dimensions: 15 x 15.8 x 4.7 inches
• Materials: Polyester

What we liked: While this is a pricier bag (at $14 a pop), it had better engineering than some of the other nylon/polyester bags I tested, with multiple reinforced rows of stitching holding the fabric together. The Baggu is also spacious and is available in loads of fun patterns and colors. 

What we didn’t like: As with other collapsible bags, filling the Baggu could be irritating; the handles slumped over and it was hard to keep the bag flat and open. The handles were also a bit smaller than the other collapsible bags, and I had more difficulty slipping them over my shoulder to carry. It’s also kind of expensive for a single bag, though I do think the quality is better.

• Open dimensions: 25.5 × 15.5 × 6 inches
• Cleaning and care: Machine-washable 
• Junes the Market Tote : While this is a pretty bag, the slinky, itchy material was unpleasant to hold, and it was really hard to fill since it’s so floppy. The bag also sags quite a bit when full, which meant avocados and tomatoes got bashed up when packed with other ingredients. 
• Rachael Ray Jumbo Chillout Thermal Tote : This bag was just way too big! When packed to the gills, it was almost impossible to hoist and carry. That said, they do sell a smaller version (the Rachel Ray Chillout Thermal Tote , minus the jumbo), which I have and quite like; it’s easy to fill, sports a solid zipper, and is insulated. If you want a heavy-duty insulated bag, I’d recommend the smaller version. 
• CapaBunga Multi-Pocket Canvas Market Tote : This is a cute and sturdy bag, but the numerous pockets limited the overall interior space and made it more difficult to fill. That said, it was a great bag for toting wine and snacks to a party.
• Wrapables Durable and Large Nylon Reusable Shopping Bag : The handles were small and dug into my shoulders, and the bag was cramped when full. 
• Full Circle Tote-Ally Reusable Grocery Tote : What a saggy bag! It was difficult to load and everything sunk towards the center when carried. The included produce bags were a nice addition, but not enough to make it a winner. 

What’s the best material for a reusable grocery bag?

Our favorite bag from Colony Co is made of waxed canvas, which is durable and makes it easy to keep the bag propped open at the checkout. We also liked ripstop nylon and polyester bags, two other hardy materials, though they are floppier and more difficult to fill. 

What’s the best capacity for a reusable grocery bag? 

While you might think a larger bag is better, it’s really difficult to carry a bag bursting at the seams with stuff; instead, consider buying smaller bags (we liked bags that held two to three plastic grocery bags worth of stuff) or not filling them up completely, since they will be easier (and lighter) to tote.  

How much weight can a reusable bag hold?

It depends on the bag, but most options we tested held between 30 to 55 pounds. While you might think the ability to hold more weight is better, for the good of your shoulder or wrist/hand, you probably don’t want to tote 55 pounds of groceries in a single bag. 

How do you store reusable grocery bags?

Our favorite bags can be folded up (or hastily scrunched, in the case of polyester and nylon options) for easy storage. Some, like the Baggu, BagPodz, and BeeGreen, have small carrying pouches. 

Can you wash reusable grocery bags?

Most of the bags we tested can either be spot-cleaned or machine-washed (often with cold water), so just check the manufacturers instructions prior to cleaning. 

Are reusable bags sanitary?

Reusable bags are sanitary, just make sure to clean the bags if there is a spill (especially if it’s meat juice or dairy).

The 7 Best Reusable Grocery Bags of 2024

These eco-friendly bags are anything but boring

In This Article

• Our Top Picks
• What to Look For
• Why Trust The Spruce

The Spruce / Alli Waataja

Reusable grocery bags are unsung heroes in the shopping world. They keep plastic bags out of landfills, they save money over time, and they help haul essentials on a daily basis. 

They’re so beneficial that many local governments require shoppers to bring their own instead of relying on plastic options from the store. That’s why we spent the time researching so many reusable bags, evaluating them on ease of use, material, and capacity.

The amount a bag can hold is one of the most important points to consider, according to Elise Hay , a professional organizer and founder of Organized Sanctuaries. It's nice to have a variety of sizes, especially if you're shopping for a family with kids, she explains.

We agree: Having reusable bags in a number of sizes is a smart, functional option for just about any shopper. But we know there are also a ton of choices out there, and we were determined to suss out quality over quantity. After plenty of research, we found the best reusable grocery bags that can go just about anywhere and haul almost anything.

Best Overall

Scout original deano.

Extra-large capacity holding up to 75 pounds

Water-resistant material

Easily folds for storage

Only one interior pocket

Not machine washable

We love the Scout Original Deano for several reasons. Not only is it a fantastic reusable grocery bag, thanks to its extra-large capacity, but it looks as good as it functions. While it can't be thrown in the wash, the polypropylene material means you can easily wipe down the bag with a microfiber cloth if an accidental mess occurs. But it also means it’s a lightweight, durable material made to withstand anything you might throw its way. We can attest to the durability of the Scout bag and know it has the ability to last for years to come.

Another unique feature of the extra-large Scout bag, which can hold up to 75 pounds, is its collapsible design. You can easily tuck it away when it’s not in use, whether you’re storing it in your car or in your cabinets.

You’ll also find one inner pocket to hold your cell phone or keys, too. The long handles ensure the bag can quickly be carried over your shoulder and hold up to those extra-heavy grocery hauls.

Dimensions: 19 x 15 x 10 inches, 8.25-inch shoulder strap | Material: Polypropylene| Color: Shellebrity, david checkham, english camel, faux paws, fleetwood black, grain teaser, happy glamper, kilted age, knotty buoy, montauk mint, nantucket navy, oxford news, prep talk, ship shape, victoria checkham, what the deck | Machine Washable: No

Baleine 3Pk Reusable Grocery Bags

Reinforced bottom and handles for added structure

Comes in a 3-pack

Holds up to 50 pounds

Folds completely flat

May rip after several uses

For anyone who wants to up their reusable grocery bag game, the Baleine 3-pack offers both functionality and value. Each bag is made of woven polypropylene, which not only makes the bag sturdy, but also means it’s easy to wipe clean. Use a wet microfiber cloth and wipe down the water-resistant material, and it’s as good as new. 

Whether you’re hauling produce or making a heavy-duty warehouse run, these bags can handle the job with its 50-pound capacity. Plus, the extra long 12 inch nylon straps ensure the bag actually fits over your shoulder, even when filled to the brim. Like the rest of the bag, the handles are also reinforced for added durability.

We like how easily the bags fold and tuck away, keeping bag clutter to a minimum. As an added bonus, the bags come in a wide variety of designs and colors, so you can show off your personality while running errands.

Dimensions: 13 x 10.2 x 11 inches | Material: Polypropylene bag, nylon handles | Color: Antique foliage, black, blue, clover, color stripe, gray, green, hawaiian brunch, honeysuckle, island breeze, leopard, parallelogram, patriot celebration, plaid check, red, reindeers, spring stroll | Machine Washable: No

Best Foldable

Chicobag original tote.

Entire bag fits into a small pouch when not in use

Made for durability

Uses 100% recycled packaging

Only holds up to 25 pounds

No reinforced bottom

One of the biggest pain points of keeping up with reusable tote bags is dealing with the clutter it causes when not in use. We think the ChicoBag solves this issue by neatly fitting into a 3 x 4-inch pouch, which is included with each bag. This means no more clutter under your counter. You can easily stash it away in your car’s console so you always have it handy for quick grocery runs. 

Another important feature of the machine-washable ChicoBag is it uses 100 percent recycled packaging, which translates to a 100 percent offset of carbon emissions from making the bag.

Although it does have a smaller, 25-pound capacity, the ChicoBag is built tough and meant to last for years. The polyester material used for the bag features a unique weave, adding to the bag’s durability. The bag pulls serious hauling duty, but manages to look good with an array of fun colors and a couple of prints.

Dimensions: Bag is 17 x 15 inches, pouch is 3 x 4 inches | Material: Durable woven polyester | Color: Blue, purple, boysenberry, buttercup, pale green, aqua, orange peel, mazarine, fairway, earth, bag monster, red | Machine Washable: Yes

Best Heavy-Duty

Lotus trolley bags reusable grocery cart bags.

Holds up to 60 pounds

Rod design easily fits across carts

Removable rod design for easier carrying

Double-seems and reinforced handles

Not all bags have a reinforced bottom

The Lotus Trolley Bag offers a unique take on reusable grocery bags by giving shoppers a choice between setting the four bags across a shopping cart (for easy loading), or removing the included rod and carrying the bag. The four-pack offers a different function for each bag so you can stay organized while shopping, including ones with mesh bottoms (ideal for produce), a bag with pockets for eggs and wine, plus an insulated bag (with a reinforced, flat bottom) so you can use it for your entire grocery haul. The extra-long, reinforced handles help you carry the heavy-duty bags, even when they’re holding up to 60 pounds.

Not only do Lotus Trolley Bags feature a woven material for increased sturdiness, but also the double-stitching gives it added durability and protection from stretching or breaking. After a few grocery trips, you can add it to the washing machine for cleaning convenience. There are two different ordering options: a four-pack for standard grocery carts and a four-pack for larger grocery carts, such as those at warehouse clubs.

Dimensions: 10 x 3 x 27 inches | Material: Woven fabric | Color: Purple, turquoise, blue, brown | Machine Washable: No

Best Bags in Bulk

Beegreen reusable grocery bags.

Increased quantity to cover all your grocery shopping needs

Each bag holds up to 50 pounds

Machine-washable

Folds into small pouch for storage

No flat or reinforced bottoms

Shorter handle

The BeeGreen 6-pack of reusable grocery bags is a fun way to bring color and pattern to your next grocery haul. But, better yet, we love it because it comes with multiple bags so you can make sure you have enough for even your largest purchases. Each 6-pack features multiple colors and patterns, so you can mix it up at the store.

The bags offer the same room as three plastic bags and hold up to 50 pounds each. And when you’re done with your massive shopping spree, you simply fold each one up and tuck it away in the included storage pouch so it’s not taking up precious room in the kitchen. You can also include them in your regular laundry day as a convenient cleaning solution.

We like that the machine-washable BeeGreen bags are roomy and can hold plenty of items. It’s worth noting though, the handles measure 8.7 inches, which may be enough for carrying the bag over your shoulder, but this handle length is several inches shorter versus other options on our list. 

Dimensions: Each bag is 15 x 16 x 6 inches, pouch is 5.3 inches squared | Material: Rip-stop nylon cloth | Color: Multiple color/print combinations | Machine Washable: Yes

Best Insulated

Packit freezable grocery shopping bag.

Includes non-toxic freezable gel for ultimate cooling

Reinforced base

Zippered closure

Limited in size

If you live far from a grocery store or need to run errands after you’ve purchased perishable items, then you know how handy it is to have an insulated option to keep your items cool. The PackIt Freezable grocery bag offers a reliable solution for keeping items cold with its sturdy, reinforced design and patented cooling technology. 

Simply freeze the bag the night before, and it’ll be ready to go. The gel keeps items insulated and cool for more than 15 hours at a time–making it ideal for travel or shopping. Just know that the bag is 12.75 x 7.75 x 14.5 inches, so a little bit smaller than our best overall pick.

The zippered closure is an added bonus, especially if you only have a handful of items or you’re concerned about something falling out of the bag. When you’re done using it, simply wipe it clean and store it away. You’ll appreciate how the bag flattens and folds, so it can fit inside your freezer, ready for the next run to the grocery store.

Dimensions: 12.75 x 7.75 x 14.5 inches | Material: PVC free, BPA free, phthalate, and lead free materials | Color: Blue, yellow, and green-striped | Machine Washable: No

Best Design

Baggu standard reusable shopping bag.

Fun colors and designs

Folds into a 5 inch square

Machine washable

Made of recycled materials

No reinforced or flat bottom

Who says bags have to be boring? Baggu certainly doesn’t think so and offers adorable colors and patterns—plus functionality–to make grocery shopping slightly more enjoyable. But the bags don’t include any regular pattern, instead, there’s an array of fun prints featuring beloved characters, lovely florals, and eye-popping colors.

These bags do more than look pretty though. They are made of ripstop recycled polyester, ensuring it can stand up to your toughest hauls from the store. They’re constructed with a unique design, where each bag is made of one continuous piece–which makes the construction even stronger.

Each standard Baggu holds up to 50 pounds of items, which is worth about two or three regular plastic bags and can hold plenty of items. When you’re done using it, you can fold it up into the cutest five inch square and tuck it away where it eagerly awaits its next use. And if you happen to get your Baggu reusable bag dirty, you can throw it into the washing machine with your other dirty laundry. 

Dimensions: 5.5 × 15.5 × 6 inches | Material: 100% recycled polyester filament yarn | Color: Hello kitty apple, hello kitty icons, cinnamoroll, deer, wild strawberries, wavy gingham green, wavy gingham peach, mercado, yellow happy, strawberry, hello kitty and friends, camellia, sailor stripe, i love ny, thank you happy, flower market plaid, tamarind, soft blue, extra pink, black | Machine Washable: Yes

Final Verdict

Our pick for best overall reusable grocery bags goes to the Scout Original Deano for its extra-large capacity that can hold up to 75 pounds, plus the water-resistant material you can easily wipe clean and take almost anywhere you need it to go. If you’re looking for multiple bags, the BeeGreen 6-pack , our best bags in bulk , offers fun designs, up to 50 pounds of capacity, and folds into a small pouch.

What to Look for in a Reusable Grocery Bag

Capacity refers to how much each reusable bag holds. Many list their capacity in pounds, such as up to 25 or 50 pounds. Keep in mind 25 pounds is about one or two plastic bags worth, while 50 pounds is around three or four regular plastic grocery bags. Because of their larger capacities, you may only need a few bags to fit your needs. Our biggest bag is our best design pick, the Scout Original Deano (which can hold up to 75 pounds).

Reusable bags run the gamut of materials, from polypropylene to fabric, canvas, and recycled polyesters. Look for lightweight options, but also make sure it is durable. After all, you’ll be putting these bags to the ultimate test with a weekly grocery run. The material also impacts how easy it is to fold and tuck away. For example, a lightweight polyester option, such as the ChicoBag , our best foldable , works great for packing into a small square when not in use, versus a heavier canvas that can’t lay flat or fold.

Washability

Sour cream, strawberries, packaged meats–think about the number of items your bags come in contact with. Some reusable tote bags are machine-washable , which can make your life a lot easier if you happen to get into a messy situation and the bag needs a thorough cleaning. That’s one of the reasons why we love the Lotus Trolley Bag ( best heavy-duty ) because you can easily throw it in the wash. For bags that aren’t machine washable, look for ones made with materials you can easily wipe down at least, such as the Bailene 3-pack , our best value option.

Additional Features

Look for additional features that may seem minor, but can make a big impact, such as a reinforced or flat bottom, like the Bailene 3-pack , our best value option. A flat bottom is really nice for things you don't want to get squashed and you can stack things like cans and boxes and lettuce, or whatever you need, Hay says, plus it can make it easier for storage if it lays flat.

In the Good Housekeeping Institute , we value finding ways to live more sustainably. In 2009, we created the Green Good Housekeeping Seal to help consumers sift through the confusing clutter of “green” claims on products. We test everything from reusable water bottles to reusable straws in order to help support sustainable living on an accessible level. If you’re looking for more single-use swap outs, try trading plastic baggies for reusable snack bags , plastic wrap for DIY beeswax wraps and plastic produce bags for reusable produce bags .

Whether you have a long commute with groceries or you're trying to keep frozen groceries cool, the PackIt Freezable Grocery Shopping Bag will help ensure your groceries don’t spoil or melt before arriving home. “I love how it’s functional as a grocery bag, but keeps food frozen for long periods," says GH Institute Textiles Lab Executive Director Lexie Sachs . The night before you head to the store, fold up this grocery bag and place it in your freezer. The soft-sided tote is insulated with freezable gel that stays put and a zippered closure to lock in cool air. However, the gel ice packs make it heavier than some reusable shopping bags, especially when frozen.

For under $20, this five-pack of reusable grocery bags can be stashed in its matching carrying pouch in your purse, trunk or car door. Small but mighty, our pros love that each bag is waterproof and reinforced, so you don't have to worry about it breaking even when you're carrying a heavy load (up to 50 pounds, according to the manufacturer). This set of five bags comes in over a dozen different color and pattern combinations, and our pros love that they are all machine washable. Since there's no structure to the bags, they might not be ideal for more delicate grocery items.

Our Lab experts like its sturdy wire structure, which not only gives it durability but makes it easier to see everything in your grocery bag. It can hold up to 30 pounds of groceries when open and folds flat to less than two inches thick when not in use, according to the manufacturer. There's even an elastic to ensure the bag stays folded. There is also an interior pocket that's great for keys or your shopping list. Choose between an insulated and non-insulated version to best fit your grocery needs.

If you need more than a few reusable grocery bags, BagPodz offers a great option for buying in bulk. Each purchase gets you 10 reusable grocery that hold up to 50 pounds each, and the bags fold into the pouch neatly , according to the manufacturer. GH Lab pros love that these are made out of machine washable RipStop nylon and are water-repellant, helping to contain a grocery leak. Our pros suggest keeping the zippered pouch clipped on your purse, so you always have reusable bags on hand.

Make green shopping a little easier with these sorting bags: They fit most standard shopping carts, so you can divide up your groceries while you're shopping to make the loading and unloading process so much easier. “Lotus is great to stay organized while shopping — especially when shopping for the family because we buy so much,” says Sachs. The set even comes with wine and egg pockets, a mesh bottom so that any potential leaks will not pool at the bottom and a separate cooler bag for perishable items. Take note that if you shop at grocery stores with larger grocery carts (like Costco or Sam’s Club), you will have to purchase a different version of these bags.

Even though it's light and compact enough to carry around all day, this machine washable nylon shoulder bag is surprisingly strong, holding up to 50 pounds without ripping, according to the manufacturer. “The included carrying case makes it so easy to always have a bag with me when I’m out and about," says Emma Seymour, Senior Product Analyst in the GH Textiles Lab . We love that they come in an assortment of bold patterns and bright colors, so you'll never lose sight of it. Even though they are machine washable, they are not safe to put in the dryer.

Hydro Flask’s Insulated Tote helps ensure that your temperature-sensitive dairy or proteins stay cold for up to four hours . With its fully lined interior and waterproof zippers, this bag helps contain any leaks, too. That's why GH Kitchen Appliances Lab Director Nicole Papantoniou loves it for transporting meats from the grocery store or for keeping food cold at the beach. While this bag isn’t cheap, Hydro Flask stands behind it, offering a five year warranty.

Pretend you’re Emily in Paris with one of these chic French string bags, perfect for shopping at the farmer’s market or picking up a few groceries after work. These cotton string bags look delicate, but easily stretch to accommodate whatever you put inside and hold up to 40 pounds, according to the manufacturer. If they get dirty, they are machine washable. Pro tip from our Lab experts: Since this bag has a net design, it’s helpful to carry some reusable produce bags inside so that nothing small falls through.

This machine washable, stylish reusable grocery bag looks like the plastic grocery bag that it is replacing , but reinvented with much more durability. As a response to San Francisco's plastic bag ban in 2017, designer Lauren DiCioccio embroidered bags made out of recycled taffeta with all-too-familiar messages, "thank you" and "have a nice day." According to the manufacturer this bag is machine washable, but make sure to hang dry to ensure that the embroidery remains in good condition.

Ideal for heavier loads, this jute bag stands up straight, so you don't have to worry about your eggs or other fragile items toppling over. The best part: There's an easy-to-reach pocket inside, so you can safely stash your keys, phone, wallet and shopping list. We also love that the interior has laminated lining to resist a leaking grocery mishap. Keep in mind that if you do stain the exterior of the bag, it is spot clean only.

How we chose the best reusable grocery bags

To find the best reusable grocery bags, our analysts and editors evaluated reusable bags for factors like material, style, shape, durability and cleanability. In the past year, we have tested over 50 bags, including duffles, backpacks, totes and suitcases.

In making our recommendations, we prioritized bags that are lightweight, durable and machine-washable with easy accessibility. We also gave preference to bags that were easy to shove into another bag for storage and could be comfortably worn over the shoulder.

What to look for when shopping for the best reusable grocery bag

✔️ Material: Reusable grocery bags are made up of numerous materials, including cotton, burlap, polyester and canvas. There are three material characteristics to keep in mind when choosing the bag for you. A lightweight foldable material like nylon is helpful if you need to store your bags in your purse or bicycle, so that you never forget them. Look for a sturdy burlap or canvas bag with durable handles if you need to carry heavier items that may break a flimsy bag. A bag with insulation or embedded ice packs will keep groceries cold for a few hours before arriving home.

✔️ Capacity: If you need to carry large items, a bag with a little stretch will help or one with expandable sides will also come in handy. Manufacturers will often state their weight capacity. If you tend to have heavy groceries, opt for one that has a capacity of at least 40 pounds.

✔️ Washability: Groceries can be messy, whether your pickle jar leaks or your kale is still damp from its daily misting. Reusable grocery bags are sanitary if they are cleaned regularly. You can machine wash most reusable grocery bags (depending on the material or decoration), but some require being hung dry. Look for a machine washable bag unless you do not mind spot cleaning or hand washing your reusable grocery bag.

Take Our Word for It

Real Simple / David Hattan

Whether your state has a plastic bag ban or you want to make sustainable household swaps , reusable grocery bags are a daily essential that cuts down on single-use waste . Reusable grocery bags are versatile and more durable than plastic or paper counterparts—and come in many shapes, sizes, and designs to suit your hauling needs. 

"Using a reusable grocery bag over a long period of time can lower your environmental footprint and save you money,” says John Oppermann , an environmental activist and sustainability expert.

To find the best reusable grocery bags, we researched top-rated options while considering material, dimensions, color options, and care. We also consulted Oppermann for his expert insight on the benefits of swapping your single-use bags for reusable ones.

Best Overall Reusable Grocery Bag

Baggu nylon ripstop tote.

This pick is sturdy, versatile, and extremely portable.

The included pouch isn’t attached to the bag.

The Standard Baggu bag is versatile, convenient, and packable, making it our favorite option for hauling groceries and other goods. It folds neatly into the included pouch, which makes it easy to toss into any bag or purse. Note the pouch is not attached to the bag, so it can be misplaced.

The bag is made of recycled ripstop nylon and can hold up to 50 pounds, or about three plastic bags worth of groceries. Plus, the Standard Baggu beats out its competition in terms of design thanks to the variety of bright colors and prints (think smiley faces, Hello Kitty, and more) you can choose from. They’re also machine-washable, making it easy to care for and reuse over time.

Material: Recycled nylon | Dimensions: 25.5 × 15.5 × 6 inches | Colors: 5 solid, 12 print | Care: Machine washable

Best Budget Reusable Grocery Bag

Beegreen reusable grocery bags.

These affordable, lightweight nylon bags come in a set of six and a wide range of colors.

The bags may not be as sturdy as other options.

If you like to stash reusable grocery bags in multiple places, the BeeGreen Reusable Shopping Bags have you covered. They come in a set of six, making them the most budget-friendly option on our list.

Each bag is made of nylon, can hold up to 50 pounds, and is machine-washable. They fold up into an attached pouch for easy carrying, and the set comes with six different colors/prints with many designs to choose from. Just note that the top of the bag is curved, so it may be slightly harder to load and unload groceries.

Material: Nylon | Dimensions: 15 x 4.7 x 15.8 inches | Colors: Various | Care: Machine washable

Best Insulated Reusable Grocery Bag

Hydro flask 20l insulated tote.

The tote is waterproof and durable for heavy items.

The bag is bulky and can't be folded into a compact size.

No need to fret about melted ice cream, spoiled eggs, or delicate seafood sitting in your car while running errands—the Hydro Flask insulated tote is essentially a lightweight cooler to keep your groceries protected and temperature-controlled. The waterproof coating withstands weather and spills, and the bag has a lined interior that’s easy to wipe down. 

The base is freestanding, which allows the tote to stand upright on its own, but it also collapses when you want to pack it away (though not quite as small as other reusable bags). It has a zippered top closing and a zippered outer pocket to stash on-hand essentials. The bag comes in three high-capacity sizes. We also like this bag for summertime picnics , beach hangs, and road trips. 

Material: Aluminum | Dimensions: 17 x 14 x 7.3 inches | Colors: 4 | Care: Wipe clean

Best Large Reusable Grocery Bag

Ikea frakta carrier bag.

This durable and versatile bag has an impressive capacity.

The bag can't fold up very compactly.

These large, iconic blue IKEA bags aren’t just for home decor shopping; you can also use them for carrying daily essentials and goods, including an impressive amount of groceries. 

Lightweight and durable, it can hold up to 19 gallons, which is the largest capacity on our list. 

The bag has handles and shoulder straps and can be folded and tucked away when not in use (though the folded profile is larger than your average grocery bag). Plus, you can’t beat the price or durability of the polypropylene material. 

Material: Polypropylene | Dimensions: 21.75 x 14.5 x 13.75 inches | Colors: 1 | Care: Wipe with a damp cloth

Best Small Reusable Grocery Bag

Chicobag original tote.

This reusable bag is compact and easily folds into its attached pouch.

It has shorter shoulder straps.

Small but mighty, the ChicoBag Original Compact Reusable Grocery Bag can hold up to 25 pounds and folds into the attached pouch that measures just 3 x 4 inches. The pouch also has a carabiner you can clip to another bag for convenient carrying and on-hand use. The bag comes in 10 different colors and is machine-washable, making this pick equally easy to maintain for years of use.

Material: Polyester | Dimensions: 17 x 15 inches | Colors: 10 | Care: Wash cold, hang dry

Best Heavy-Duty Reusable Grocery Bag

Scout bagette market tote.

This reusable bag has durable straps and a stable bottom to help you carry heavier items.

The square shape may be harder to carry.

The Scout Bagette Market Tote is roomy and sturdy thanks to its square shape, which makes it easy to fill it with groceries. We also like its reinforced bottom, which withstands heavier items. In fact, the bag can hold up to 75 pounds, so you never need to worry about overloading it with milk jugs or heavy items. There are two heavy-duty handles for carrying it by hand or on your shoulders. We also appreciate the water-resistant fabric and folding shape that takes minimal space.

Material: Polypropylene | Dimensions: 12.5 x 14.5 x 12 inches | Colors: 5 | Care: Hand wash

Best Canvas Reusable Grocery Bag

L.l. bean boat and tote, zip-top.

This structured canvas tote has a zip top and timeless design.

This bag is spot-clean only.

This L.L. Bean Boat and Tote is made for any adventure, whether you're buying groceries or taking a road trip. The bag is made of heavyweight cotton canvas and has a reinforced bottom and handles to hold up to 500 pounds. The zip top keeps your valuables or groceries safe and secure inside, and the tote comes in four different sizes ranging from small to extra large, with a choice of regular or long handles and 12 colors. You can also add a monogram for a personalized touch. Due to the fabric, the bag is spot-clean only.

Material: Canvas | Dimensions: 10.5 x 9.5 x 5 inches (small) | Colors: Up to 12 | Care: Spot clean

Best Reusable Grocery Bag for Produce

Public goods wide mesh tote.

Public Goods

This reusable bag is made of organic cotton and is flexible for protecting fragile produce.

The mesh design may be more fragile and likely to snag or tear.

This Public Goods Wide Mesh Tote is made of organic cotton, which is lightweight and durable enough to hold all your fruits and veggies (or other groceries) on your next farmer’s market trip . The mesh design has less structure than solid nylon bags to accommodate oddly shaped veggies and fruits and allow airflow. You can fold the bag or scrunch it up into a travel-friendly size, plus it’s machine washable for convenience. Because the netting is wide, you can only carry larger objects that won’t fall through the holes.

Material: Organic cotton wide mesh | Dimensions: Not listed | Colors: 1 | Care: Machine washable

Best Recycled Reusable Grocery Bag

Uncommon goods embroidered thank you tote.

UnCommon Goods

This reusable bag has a fun print and is made of recycled materials.

It’s more expensive than most reusable bags.

The Embroidered Thank You Tote reusable had a life before it got to you, as it’s made of 100% recycled taffeta. The bag is handmade and inspired by San Francisco's plastic bag ban . It mimics the plastic takeout bags of the past with bright “thank you” embroidered down the front, with the bonus that, unlike plastic, this bag is machine washable and reusable. It’s also lightweight and compact, so you can easily tuck it into another bag.

Material: Recycled polyester taffeta | Dimensions: 20 x 13 inches | Colors: 2 | Care: Machine washable

Best Reusable Grocery Bag Design

Clevermade snapbasket luxe.

This is a sturdy, stylish tote with long handles that can still collapse flat.

The bag is harder to clean than other options.

The CleverMade Collapsible Luxe Tote combines the structure and aesthetic of a canvas bag with the convenience of a foldable bag, as it folds down to just 2 inches tall. It comes in two sizes and holds up to 30 pounds. It has a wire frame, rigid bottom, and stability feet to keep it standing upright whenever you put it down. 

Inside, it has a zipper pocket to hold small valuables, and you can choose between solid or printed designs for the exterior fabric. The contrasting handles are long enough to carry the tote on your shoulders, and there are vegan leather accents for added style.

Material: Canvas | Dimensions: 15.5 x 9.5 x 11.25 inches | Colors: 7 | Care: Spot clean

Our top pick is the Standard Baggu , which is everything you want in a reusable grocery bag—it's compact, lightweight, eco-friendly, and durable. For a reusable grocery bag that keeps your food warm or cool, consider the Hydro Flask Tote , which is insulated and waterproof. Finally, for a nylon-alternative reusable bag, the L.L. Bean Boat and Tote are made of a heavyweight, high-weight capacity canvas. 

How to Shop for Reusable Grocery Bags Like a Pro 

Reusable grocery bags come in various materials, including nylon, cotton, canvas, polyester, and recycled materials. Nylon is durable, lightweight, folds compactly, and is often machine-washable, making it the most space-efficient and versatile option.

Similarly, polyester is also supremely durable and lightweight. While we like these materials for their longevity, both are thermoplastics made with petroleum, so if you want a low-cost way to help the planet , opt for a natural material like cotton or canvas. You can also look for recycled polyester and nylon, which reuse materials for a lower environmental impact. 

Canvas, on the other hand, is a thicker material with a more rigid structure. Canvas bags are often heavyweight, sturdy, and stylish. Canvas may also have a longer life, according to Opperman. “If a reusable bag is a high-quality canvas bag, it could last for a decade or more,” he says. 

The ideal dimensions of a reusable grocery bag depend on how much you need to haul. Most reusable grocery bags carry two to three times the amount of a plastic bag, with a weight capacity of 30 pounds or more. For everyday grocery shopping or errands, you might only need a smaller bag that fits into a purse or backpack. If you need to carry a lot of groceries or other items, you might want a large-capacity option like the IKEA Frakta Carrier Bag , which has a generous capacity of 19 gallons and can hold up to 55 pounds.

You can find almost any color of reusable bag, and the hue and pattern depend on your preferences and style. Nylon reusable grocery bags often have more color options, whereas canvas or cotton are often neutral-colored with colorful handles or trim. If you have multiple reusable grocery bags, you can differentiate between them by using a particular color or design for produce, while others are for pantry goods. 

Carrying groceries can get messy, and keeping your reusable grocery bag clean keeps odors and germs at bay. While shopping for reusable grocery bags, consider how easy they are to clean. Most nylon options are machine washable, making them low maintenance and easy to wipe down if you need a quick clean. Many canvas totes may be spot-clean only due to their straps or built-in frames. “It's best to get a bag that is easily washed because the longer you use a bag, the lower your environmental footprint will be,” says Oppermann. 

Questions You Might Ask 

What is the most environmentally friendly grocery bag.

“You're looking to accomplish two main things by using a reusable grocery bag: lower your climate footprint and reduce plastics,” says Oppermann. “A reusable bag actually often takes more resources and has a far larger environmental footprint than a plastic bag does, so you need to reuse it hundreds or even thousands of times before you break even as far as the bags' climate footprint. So it's best to make the lifespan of your reusable bag as long as possible so use it for years, and if it tears or gets dirty you should repair or clean it rather than throwing it away.”  

Bags made from recycled materials or biodegradable natural materials tend to have a lower environmental footprint. For example, the Embroidered Thank You Tote and Standard Baggu are made from recycled taffeta and nylon, respectively, making them more environmentally friendly picks. Oppermann also suggests buying a used tote bag from a thrift store if you are looking to maximize sustainability. 

Are reusable shopping bags worth it?

“Plastics stay around in our environment and pollute our ecosystems, especially our oceans for hundreds of years,” says Oppermann. With proper use and care, you can use reusable grocery bags for many years. 

“Environmentally, reusable shopping bags are definitely worth it if you use them over a long period of time," continues Oppermann. "A reusable bag lowers your climate footprint and avoids sending plastic waste into our environment."

In addition to environmental benefits, there may also be economic ones. Most grocery stores charge for single-use grocery bags, so having your own reusable one will save you from paying each time you go to the store. The cost may seem minimal, but over time, this can add up.

How do you sanitize reusable bags?

The best way to sanitize a reusable bag is to wash it regularly, depending on the bag’s care instructions. For machine-washable reusable bags, follow the washing guidelines and ensure the bag is completely dry before using it again. For bags that aren’t machine-washable, spot-cleaning can take care of large stains, and hand-washing is an option for more thorough cleaning. Depending on your bag’s fabric, you may also be able to wipe it down with a wet towel or disinfectant.

This article was written by Lesley Chen , a contributing writer for Real Simple with experience writing commerce, home, and lifestyle stories . To compile this list, she thoroughly researched reusable grocery bags and rounded up the best options based on materials, dimensions, color options, and care. For expert advice, Lesley spoke to John Oppermann , the executive director of Earth Day Initiative , a non-profit promoting environmental awareness and solutions through partnerships with schools, community organizations, businesses, and governments.

How To Choose The Best Cheap Reusable Grocery Bag

You need to make sure all your purchase expectations are met, especially when buying reusable grocery bags in bulk. Aside from the usual sturdiness and aesthetic, each bag needs to follow a few parameters to make it ideal for everyday use. You don’t want to be traveling with a subpar grocery bag that gives you a hard time with one of your most essential items—food. It’s the same process as when you’d be shopping for weekender or foldable travel bags . So, look for the following criteria when shopping for the ideal reusable bag.

When traveling for long trips, including picnics and parties, an insulated reusable grocery bag comes in handy. The plus side to this kind of bag is that you can use it for your regular groceries! So really, you’re killing two birds with one stone. Insulation makes sure your food stays hot or cold for more extended periods and avoids spoilage.

If you’re planning on using your grocery bags for everyday groceries, you’re going to have to clean them at some point in time. You can easily clean many bags with a damp cloth or even in a washing machine. However, pure cotton bags will not be able to go in the machine because they will shrink. That’s why, when shopping, look for bags with cleanable material.

Do you want to fit a lot of groceries within a small amount of space? Then, you have to look for width and size in grocery bags that closely resemble your shopping style. Many reusable grocery bags in bulk come in large sizes and large quantities for your ease. This makes it easier for you to swap out bags and even share them with many people.

Although grocery bags come in a variety of materials, nylon proves to be one of the best. It’s easy to clean, is sturdy, and nylon bags are often very affordable and of great value. Cotton is a bit risky due to its shrinkage properties.

Buying reusable grocery bags in bulk is one of the best things you can do! It’s especially great for larger families. You get a lot of high-quality bags at a reasonable price. What more could you ask?

Reusable grocery bags are super convenient. You can always keep them in your car in places where you’re charged for plastic bags. Ideal for travel, durable, and eco-friendly, there are many reasons you should choose reusable grocery bags.

In This Article

Factors to Consider

Our expertise.

Food & Wine / Hydroflask

There’s rarely a weekend afternoon spent running errands where just one stop is on the agenda. If you’re anything like us, you’re likely bouncing between the grocery store, the coffee shop, the home improvement store, and the coffee shop again — you get the idea. So, rather than worrying about arranging your day just to get your carefully curated groceries home to the refrigerator promptly — or worse, risking spoiled milk or soggy greens — make your weekend market trips easier by investing in a few insulated grocery bags.

From roomy soft coolers to cute totes that can go from the farmer’s market to the park in style, these insulated options will come in handy time and time again. We researched tons of options, looking for the best insulated grocery bags that not only keep your food perfectly chilled (a must!) but also make your groceries easier to organize and transport.

Learn more about our selects below, and breathe a big sigh of relief — your favorite ice cream sandwiches will never be melted by the time you get home again.

Best Overall

Nook theory insulated grocery bag.

The exterior of this insulated grocery bag is made from scratch-resistant canvas, so it will look brand new even after dozens of uses. 

This bag doesn’t have an elongated cross-body strap, and the shoulder straps may be snug depending on how full the bag is. 

For a basic insulated grocery bag that performs well and doesn’t break the bank, you can’t beat Nook Theory’s Insulated Grocery Bag. Available in a variety of chic shades and made from durable scratch-resistant canvas, this roomy bag can hold up to 30 pounds of groceries, keeping them properly chilled for up to six hours when closed.

We love how sturdy this bag feels, and the insulated interior is surprisingly thick and padded. It’s also leak-proof, it folds flat for easy storage, and it’s designed with two side pockets that can house dry goods or anything else you don’t need to keep chilled.

Material: Canvas | Capacity: 30 liters | Dimensions: 15 x 9 x 12 inches

Best Budget

Bodaon reusable grocery bag.

These grocery bags come in a variety of capacities, so you can size up or down depending on how large your typical grocery runs are.

Food will only stay cold for a little over an hour in these bags, so they’re not the best option if you’ll be away from a refrigerator for a while.

You probably recognize the Bodaon bag if you’re a fan of Uber Eats, Seamless, or any other number of food delivery services. These bags are the pick du jour, thanks to their inexpensive yet functional appeal, foam insulation, and an easy-clean foil lining that, while thin, can keep your goods cold for up to 1.5 hours. The exterior color options are bold and bright (think: watermelon pink and lime green), so you’ll never lose track of them in your trunk or entryway closet.

Material: Non-woven fabric | Capacity: 30 liters | Dimensions: 16 x 9 x 13 inches

Best Splurge

L.l. bean insulated tote, large.

This insulated grocery bag can be personalized with your choice of initials, a name, or a phrase. 

The zippered mouth of this grocery bag is smaller than many of the others on our list, which can make it difficult to get groceries in and out. 

L.L. Bean is a trusted, timeless brand, so it’s no surprise that their insulated grocery tote wins the best splurge on our list. The quality of this piece is apparent, from the durable coated canvas exterior to the padded interior, which is made of food-grade BPA- and PVC-free lining. There are even exterior pockets where you can stash dry goods, cutlery, and more.

Pack this tote to the brim with farmer’s market finds or bring it on a last-minute grocery run before a picnic. Either way, the comfy shoulder and cross-body straps will help you tote your snacks and beverages with ease.

Material: Canvas | Capacity: 33 liters | Dimensions: 17.25 x 7.5 x 14 inches

Best Everyday

Hydro flask insulated tote.

This bag can be folded completely flat and compact, so it's a great option if you travel often and love to visit markets on the go. 

While the bag is self-standing in most instances, it doesn’t have a dedicated flat bottom, so its ability to stay upright may be compromised if overstuffed. 

Toting around a huge insulated grocery bag isn’t always practical, especially if you’re someone who is frequently on the go and picking up a carton of eggs here or a quart of milk there. Enter: This Hydro Flask tote, which is sleek and stylish enough to front as everyday gear while working hard to keep any fresh meat, dairy, or produce you have on-hand cold for up to four hours. The soft exterior is durable and waterproof and is paired with a fully lined interior that can be wiped clean of any spills or stains.

Choose from three different sizes — 8 liters, 20 liters, and 35 liters — and a variety of playful colors for a find that seamlessly marries form and function.

Material: Coated fabric | Capacity: 35 liters | Dimensions: 23.82 x 5.79 x 16.57 inches

Best for Grocery Shopping

Lotus trolley bags reusable grocery cart bags.

The bags in this collection are machine washable, so spills and leaks don’t have to mean a massive cleanup. 

There are no zippers at the tops of these bags, so groceries can easily spill out if they’re tossed around the trunk or tumble out of the cart. 

If making grocery shopping a less hectic occasion is on your wishlist, then these bags from Lotus need to be added to your Amazon cart ASAP. They’re made for streamlining the physical “add to cart” process, with long rods at the top that allow them to nest neatly atop your grocery cart. Each bag in this collection comes with an insulated insert, as well as pouches to keep fragile items like eggs or bread separate from the pack.

While these lack a sealed closure — and therefore won’t keep your groceries cold for longer than four hours — they do solve a particular pain point that makes them a worthwhile investment.

Material: Polypropylene | Capacity: 50 pounds | Dimensions: 27 x 3 x 12 inches

Best Extra Large

Nz home insulated bag for food delivery.

This insulated grocery bag folds flat when not used, making for easy, seamless storage. 

There are no interior pockets or dividers on the inside of this grocery bag, which can make it difficult to organize given its massive size. 

Shopping for a family of four? Instead of buying (and toting around) several different insulated grocery bags, add this oversized design to your arsenal. The 3X size is so utterly massive that you could easily fit an entire week’s worth of groceries inside — which is great if you’re a family that loves to stock up on freezer meals during the occasional trip to Trader Joe’s.

The handles on this design are reinforced with a cross-stitch to ensure they stay sturdy and strong even through daily use, and the interior is made from a triple-layered, easy-clean foil. The best part? The entire top flap zips open, so you can easily pack and unpack your haul without a lot of hassle.

Material: Non-woven fabric | Capacity: 79 liters | Dimensions: 23 x 15 x 14 inches

Best Collapsible

Clevermade collapsible cooler bag.

Sturdy side handles give you an additional way to carry this insulated grocery bag and make it easy to retrieve from the cart or trunk of your car.  

The patented SnapHinge interior on this design makes it extra sturdy but means you can’t quite stuff this style full as much as others on our list. 

If space is at a premium — either in your car or in your house — the last thing you want is a bulky grocery bag that takes up even more room. This collapsible style from CleverMade is ideal for grab-and-go ease, folding down to less than 3 inches thick and immediately returning to shape once propped up, thanks to the patented SnapHinge frame inside. Plus, with three layers of leakproof padding, it's great for storing liquids or sauces and can even handle bagged ice without leaking.

Material: Polyester | Capacity: 30 liters | Dimensions: 18.25 x 12.25 x 11.5 inches

Best for Beverages

Yeti hopper flip 8.

Lots of extra bells and whistles — like an exterior bottle opener and hitch point grid — provide added value and functionality to your purchase. 

This insulated bag is the priciest pick on our list and paying a premium for such a utilitarian product may not be for everyone. 

With a mid-size interior and ergonomic shoulder strap, this portable soft cooler features above-average cold retention, promising to keep your contents chilly for hours on end — ideal if you’re looking to pack up a few favorite brews for the fairway or canned cocktails for a picnic in the park. It’s also made from the same DryHide shell as many other YETI products, which is resistant to punctures and UV rays and is leakproof.

Translation: If you choose to use this bad boy for the occasional grocery store run, it will certainly be able to hold its own.

Material: High-density fabric | Capacity: 8 liters | Dimensions: 11.5 x 8 x 10.5 inches

Best Ice Retention

Otterbox trooper cooler.

This cooler has one of the hardest exterior shells on our list, making it a great option if you’re frequently shopping for more fragile items, like pastries. 

With an 18-liter capacity, this cooler is one of the smaller on our list and is therefore better suited to city living or smaller grocery runs.

Need your ice to last over three days? Of course, you do! That feat is no match for OtterBox’s Trooper Cooler, which has some of the best ice retention of any cooler on the market. Though not technically geared toward grocery shopping, this design is a good option to have on your radar if you’re serious about preserving frozen items on the regular or are someone who will be out and about with a small selection of groceries over an extended period.

The semi-hard shell frame keeps the interior contents safe, while various add-ons — like an adjustable padded shoulder strap, bottle opener, and accessory mounting system — help it stand out from the crowd.

Material: Thermoplastic Polyurethane | Capacity: 18 liters | Dimensions: 14.3 x 17.50 x 10.25 inches

Best with Wheels

Dbest products ultra compact cooler.

The telescoping handle on this cart tucks away neatly to grant you extra room in the trunk of a car or on public transportation. 

The wheels on this cart do not boast the 360-degree swivel we’ve come to know and love on many pieces of luggage, making it difficult to maneuver this piece on crowded sidewalks. 

There’s no denying it: Carting groceries down the subway stairs or up to a fifth-floor walkup can make for a serious workout. Take a bit of the stress off your back and shoulders with this insulated grocery bag on wheels. Instead of shoulder straps or handles, it mimics the look and feel of a piece of carry-on luggage, granting you an easier way to get peaches, pork, and pasta from Point A to Point B.

The best part? Unlike bulky grocery carts that boast metal frames, this (mostly) soft-sided design folds nearly flat for compact storage when not in use.

Material: Polyester | Capacity: 15 liters | Dimensions: 12 x 10 x 36 inches

Best Backpack

Tourit cooler backpack.

This backpack touts lots of extra exterior pockets to make organizing snacks and supplies easier. 

There isn’t a hard side or base to this backpack, so any food or groceries inside are susceptible to damage. 

Whether you’re a backpacker that wants the freedom to hit up farmer’s markets in France or a city dweller that simply prefers to go hands-free, nothing can beat the ease and functionality of this lightweight pack. It’s lined with high-density insulation that is leakproof and promises to keep your food cold (or hot!) for up to 16 hours.

The padded shoulder straps and sleek shape make this a comfortable and stylish option if you’re a foodie who also likes to hike the trails or bike your way from market to market.

Material: Polyester | Capacity: 28 liters | D imensions: 13 x 7.5 x 15.8 inches

When shopping for an insulated grocery bag, one of the first factors you should consider is the type of material you want your design to be. Look for interiors (and even exteriors!) that are wipeable, since schlepping groceries back and forth will likely come with more than a few spills. There are also personal preferences to consider, like whether your chosen insulated grocery bag has any hard sides, which will protect your groceries from bumps and drops.

Lastly, consider how durable you need your bag to be. Are you just going from the store to the trunk of your car? If that’s the case, you probably don’t need anything too thick or hefty. But if your average grocery shopping journey consists of six subway stops and a few city blocks, you may want a bag that’s made of more sturdy material, like coated canvas.  And if you're using yours in conjunction with your very own grocery shopping cart, you'll want to factor in those considerations, too.

Size and Capacity

Perhaps the most important consideration when shopping for an insulated grocery bag is the size and capacity. Your exact needs will come down to how much you typically buy at the store at any given time. Someone who makes several trips a week to the farmer’s market will need a bag that’s drastically smaller than the lead shopper for a family of four who makes bi-weekly Costco runs. Most of the insulated grocery bags that made our list hover around a 30-liter capacity, though plenty of them are available in multiple sizes to help cater to your exact needs. 

If you’re someone who has to physically carry your groceries long distances, the comfort of your insulated grocery bag will be a big factor for you. Look for pleasant additions, like padded shoulder straps, which will help make the schlepping process a bit more comfortable. You should also pay attention to how exactly each of these bags is meant to be carried — some people prefer a cross-body carry, while others do best with a backpack-style bag. 

Intended Use

When it comes to insulated grocery bags, there are a lot of options out there, which means it’s possible to find a great design that caters to your exact use. When reviewing our winners above, shop with your intended use in mind. If you don’t envision being away from your refrigerator for an extended period (maybe one to two hours while grocery shopping and that’s it), then you probably don’t need to spring for a cooler bag that touts a 16-hour chill time.

Likewise, a design focused on liquid retention probably isn’t a must if you don’t see yourself piling a cooler high with ice. Shopping for just the features you need — and none that you don’t — is a great way to stay on budget and find the right design for you. 

Washability

While all of the insulated grocery bags above can be wiped clean, not all of them are entirely washable in a traditional machine. In most cases, because these models are also waterproof, any spills or liquid won’t sink into the fabric, meaning a wipeable design should be more than adequate. But, if you fancy yourself a fairly messy grocery shopper, a completely washable insulated tote may be something you want to keep an eye out for when shopping. 

Additional Features

The insulated grocery bags we awarded above all have various levels of bells and whistles, from the very basic to name-brand models that promise to be by your side through every adventure and travel that comes your way. If you’re looking for a bag that gives you a bit more bang for your buck, look for nice-to-have features like an exterior bottle opener, added pockets, interior organization, or hooks for additional gear.

Frequently Asked Questions

No, insulated food bags do not need to be refrigerated to work, provided the food is cold when you first place it in the bag. These bags will not cool food that is already room temperature — they are more geared towards maintaining the temperature your food is already at.

In general, most insulated grocery bags will keep food to a safe temperature for at least an hour, though many last much longer than that. When shopping, it’s important to keep temperature stability in mind, as it can range between products from one hour to 16 or more.

To clean your insulated grocery bag, wipe down the interior and exterior with warm water and mild dish soap, if necessary. You should avoid placing the entire pack (or any of its parts) in the washing machine unless specifically instructed to do so by the manufacturer.

The ideal insulated grocery bag is one with enough room for your typical haul and the ability to keep your groceries cold for at least a few hours at a time. Beyond that, you should shop with your specific needs in mind, including how you prefer to carry your bag and any other perks or features you might need.

The terms cooler bag and insulated bag (or insulated grocery bag) are typically used interchangeably, and both can refer to designs that will help cart around your groceries and keep things chilled.

This Excellent Reusable Grocery Bag Fits in Your Pocket

By Elissa Sanci

Elissa Sanci is a writer on the discovery team. She has found that clear ice makes carbonated drinks taste better, and citronella candles don’t work.

Tote bags may be easy to come by these days—who among us doesn’t have a bag of bags languishing in a closet somewhere? But a quality tote that you actually want to use day in and day out is harder to find. Baggu’s line of reusable bags puts those cheaply made freebies collecting dust at the back of your closet to shame.

Baggu’s totes are practically indestructible (with normal use), incredibly spacious, and stylish enough to accompany you to the office, the grocery store , and everywhere in between. Whether you’re looking for a canvas bag you can sling across your body or a sturdy nylon bag you can wipe down between uses, Baggu offers tons of great options, so you’ll never take home a shoddy free bag again.

Standard Baggu

A reusable tote we love.

Convenient to carry, this reusable tote is surprisingly durable and can hold up to 50 pounds. You can wipe it clean or throw it in the wash after unloading your groceries, and it packs down into a tiny carrying case.

Buying Options

Baggu Duck Bag

All-purpose workhorse.

This durable tote has a 40-inch adjustable strap and top handles, so there are multiple carrying options. However, due to its thin canvas material, you may feel—and get poked by—the contents.

A mini tote for tots

The Baby Baggu takes everything we love about the Standard Baggu and shrinks it down, so it’s easier for small kids to use. This simple-to-clean little bag can hold up to 50 pounds and comes in a range of fun and funky patterns.

May be out of stock

Everything we love about Baggu’s reusable totes

We recommend three types of Baggu totes: the Baggu Duck Bag , a canvas bag with two top handles and an adjustable cross-body strap; the Standard Baggu , a vinyl tote meant to replace plastic grocery bags; and the Baby Baggu , a smaller version of the Standard Baggu that measures 18 inches by 10 inches and is 4 inches deep. Baggu totes are so beloved by so many staffers that Wirecutter has even created customized Duck Bags printed with our logo as company swag.

Though these bags differ slightly from one another, they share standout attributes that keep us beholden to Baggu:

• Extremely spacious and durable: Staffers have reported the bags last at least five years. Says outdoors staff writer Trey French, “I’ve had a Standard since 2018, and I never tire of the cashier scanning my items at the grocery commenting on how much stuff I manage to cram in there.” The lightweight vinyl Baggu totes can hold up to 50 pounds—and that includes the Baby Baggu (we tested it by toting around a 60-pound kettlebell!). The Standard Baggu is roomy enough to accommodate about three plastic bags’ worth of groceries, and the canvas Duck Bag can fit a 15-inch laptop or your bulky gym shoes. The Baby Baggu can’t fit quite as much as its larger counterparts; it fits a wallet, a book or Kindle, and a travel tumbler . Forager and influencer Alexis Nikole Nelson told us she carries a Baggu daily in case impromptu foraging opportunities arise.
• Easy to carry: The lightweight Standard Baggu has long handles that fit over your shoulder—even when it’s packed to the gills with groceries or beach towels—so this bag is supremely easy to tote around. And though most adults can’t sling the Baby Baggu over their shoulders, small kids will be able to shoulder it without it dragging along the ground. The Duck Bag has an adjustable strap that can be worn over one shoulder or across the body, depending on what you find most comfortable. It also has top handles for short-haul trips, like from the front seat of the car into the house.
• Unmatched versatility: Baggu’s machine-washable, reusable totes can (probably) be used in a hundred different situations. Many Wirecutter staffers use both the Standard Baggu and the Duck Bag for grocery hauls and running errands, on daily commutes to work or school drop-offs, for quick overnight trips, and to tote their essentials to the gym or yoga studio. Others reserve their Standard Baggus for trips to the beach in the summer or as a dirty-laundry bag on vacations. Parents on staff use their Duck Bags to carry around toys and snacks for their kids, as well as to tote books to and from the library. And they let their kids use the Baby Baggu as a trick-or-treating bag or to carry around their own little hauls (like a stuffie and a kids water bottle ). The Baby Baggu is also a terrific arts-and-crafts bag, and one knitter on staff uses it to hold skeins of yarn and needles. In a pinch, the Baby Baggu makes a great impromptu purse for travel.
• Easy to clean: The Standard Baggu and the Baby Baggu are made of smooth vinyl that can be wiped down with a wet rag, rinsed in the sink, or tossed into the washing machine. The Duck Bag is also machine-washable, though we recommend letting it air-dry, rather than running it through the dryer.
• Plenty of colorways and patterns for peak self-expression: The Standard Baggu and Baby Baggu come in an array of bright colors and funky prints, including several adorable versions featuring Hello Kitty designs , psychedelic checkerboards , and New York bodega-bag lookalikes . Duck Bags are more muted, with subtle designs like stripes, checks, and embroidered florals. No matter your aesthetic, you’re bound to find a bag you like.

Flaws but not dealbreakers

There are a few things we’d change about Baggu’s reusable totes if we could.

• The Standard tote doesn’t replace a purse (but the Baby Baggu can). It doesn’t have inner pockets, so items like keys, phones, and wallets slide to the bottom of the tote and can be hard to find in a full bag. If you’d prefer a tote with a touch of built-in organization, the Duck Bag has a zippered interior pocket, to keep smaller items from getting lost in the fray. “I recently forgot a purse for a trip, but I had my strawberry Baby Baggu, and it was the perfect substitute,” says gifts supervising editor Hannah Morrill. “It’s great for traveling because it packs down so small and looks cute, too.”
• Baggu totes are so lightweight that you can sometimes feel (and get poked by) the things you’re carrying. This can be mildly annoying at times, but it’s far from a dealbreaker. These bags are so lightweight that it’s worth putting up with a little prod.
• The Duck Bag is washer-safe but not dryer-safe. After a tumble in the dryer, the Duck Bag loses its structure, and the pattern fades. Air-dry your bag after it goes through the wash, to preserve its shape and design.

I'm a Notorious Overpacker, but These 12 Space-saving Hacks Help Me Fit Everything in a Carry-on

These travel organizers changed the way I pack — and they start at $9.

If you click on links we provide, we may receive compensation.

Travel + Leisure / Tyler Roeland

Life is full of challenges that call for us to rise to the occasion, but for me there’s nothing quite like that “ Can I fit all of this in a carry-on bag ? ” conundrum to really get my problem solving skills going. Over the years, I’ve managed to pack a large amount of items into a carry-on bag, and it’s a badge of honor I wear proudly. 

To be fair, achieving this is much easier when packing for warmer climates that call for less bulky clothing, but there are still ways to bring along your favorite cardigan and snow boots. On a recent ski trip to Vail, Colorado, for example, I wore my trusty snow boots and ski jacket on the plane instead of packing them to free up space in my luggage. Next up, I’m currently packing for a two-week trip through Italy, finally fulfilling my bucket list dream to visit  T+L reader favorite The St. Regis Venice , have a whirlwind culinary adventure through  Emilia Romagna in  Modena   and Bologna’s  Leading Hotels of the World Grand Hotel Majestic già Baglioni , and end it all with a grand finale at  IHG’s Grand Hotel Des Arts in Verona  and  R Collection’s Grand Hotel Victoria  on Lake Como. And yes, I’ll have a carry on through it all. Naturally, hotels with the word grand in them, require fab outfits to match the mood. This is where good packing cubes can make magic happen, and I’m proud to share that I’ve already fit at least eight of my favorite dresses into one cube for my Italian jaunt. 

Are you team fold or roll? Do you tuck your socks into shoes and sit on your suitcase, praying that the zipper will be merciful? If so, it may be time to consider a different approach. With effective products (and a strong will), you too can forget the stress of checking a bag and wondering if it will arrive in time. From space-saving packing cubes to a compression garment bag , these are some of the products I rely on to remain #TeamCarryOn.

Packing Cubes

One of my biggest travel regrets is that I didn’t give into packing cubes sooner. The hours spent debating whether to fold or roll, leave a favorite item behind, or simply be able to close my luggage due to space has cost me hours of time. For me, these Calpak 5-piece Packing Cube Set packing cubes have truly delivered the solution with a set of four packing cubes and a water-resistant pouch for storage. The top portion is a breathable mesh that makes it easy to identify what you’ve packed without having to open anything to sort through it, and you can even label each cube based on attire. Alternatively, this Bagail 8-piece Packing Cube Set over at Amazon has even more cubes at just a fraction of the cost. It has more than 22,000 five-star ratings and includes a laundry pouch and shoe bag. If you’re traveling with little ones, State Bags makes kid-friendly packing cubes with handles .

Hanging Toiletry Bag

This squishable, waterproof Calpak Toiletry Bag has a durable, lightweight polyester material that makes it easy to lay items on top of while packing. At the same time, it’s still large enough to store makeup products, with a few pockets to stash those random beauty and toiletry items that you may be scrambling to find a spot for in the final hour of packing. As a bonus, it comes in a range of bright colors like bubblegum that are just plain fun and an instant mood booster. Amazon offers a durable alternative with this Nishel Toiletry Bag for $19. Transparent pockets and a soft exterior that allows it to lie flat are just a few of its perks.

Roll Packing Organizer

The Osprey Ultralight Roll Packing Organizer , another hanging kit, is a helpful accessory if you’re looking to keep anything from your toiletries to a first-aid kit in one location. It’s rollable too, allowing for more space in your carry-on bag. The organizational pockets are large enough to store random knick knacks during last-minute packing, and a hanging clip loop makes it easy to find a home for it wherever you’re checking in during travel. 

Foldable Tote Bag

What’s the perfect complement to carry-on luggage? A spacious purse for all of the items that didn’t fit in your larger bag — but one that you can easily pack away in your luggage when not in use. My State Graham Shopper accomplishes all of this and more, with a lightweight, smooth recycled fabric that helps me breeze through airports without being weighed down. Best of all, it’s so large that I’m able to fit my laptop, makeup bag, and even a packing cube with clothing. The State bag is currently on sale, but if you’re looking for an even more affordable option, Amazon has got you covered with this ETidy Foldable Tote Bag , currently on sale for $18. The 2-in-1 design allows the larger tote to be folded into a smaller bag, making it convenient to carry and save space.  

Tech Organizer Case

Tangled cords and bulky chargers, be gone. My go-to, the sleek The Tech Case by Away , offers compartments to efficiently store your chargers in two different sizes. I can easily store travel adapters, earbuds, and random chargers in its sectioned compartments. On Amazon, FYY makes a handy, water-resistant tech organizer case that comes in a number of colors for $10.

Travel Shoe Bag

Say goodbye to trying to contort your shoes between clothes with this waterproof shoe organizer from Hezelf. The bag can carry up to three pairs of shoes and includes a handle to carry it. I also opt to pack foldable shoes whenever I can, with my favorite slides and foldable flats from Vivaia , or, check out these similar foldable shoes from Amazon for $22. 

Pill Organizer

I used to make the mistake of choosing which vitamins to pack based on the size of the bottle. It was a simple fix problem, and this 3-pack pill organizer from Meacolia was the answer. A double lock ensures that pills don’t fall out in your bag, and two of its eight compartments can house larger pills. It’s currently on sale on Amazon for $9, so grab it while you can. 

Lightweight Travel Neck Pillow

A travel pillow can make long flights much more comfortable, but the right one can also save real estate in a bag. To maximize carry-on space, take a look at this genius, stuffable travel pillow that can hold up to an extra 3 days’ worth of clothes (without checking a bag). Or, this versatile, lightweight neck pillow from Trtl is much less bulky than your average option but still provides support by keeping your neck upright while padding it. The super soft fleece material and cushioning provide ultimate comfort, and it can be attached to your luggage. Plus, it’s machine washable, making it easy to clean between trips, too.

Wrinkle-free Compression Travel Garment Bag

I avoid having to make the call to reception for an iron with this wrinkle-free compression garment bag from Eagle Creek. Currently on sale on Amazon for $30, this clothes organizer can hold up to 12 items with compression wings to keep everything tightly secured. Packing folders allow you to lay ironed clothing in stacks, preventing wrinkles during transit. 

Leakproof Toiletry Bottles

Though travel-size toiletry holders are not exactly new, this set from Dot&Dot is a favorite because of its leakproof build. The squeezable silicone also makes my favorite conditioners and lotions easy to get out. The 3-ounce silicon bottles are BPA-free and easy to clean with a wide mouth opening. A range of colors help differentiate between liquids. 

Collapsible Travel To-go Cup

If you never leave home without your refillable cup, consider this collapsible option from Stojo that even comes with a straw. For travelers on the go, shrinking the cup to just two inches can save space in your bag for other items. Separable parts include a heat sleeve, lid, collar, tab, straw, and cup. Best of all, it's made from platinum food-grade silicone, meaning no BPAs or lead. 

Laundry Detergent Sheets

Part of what makes believing in the power of carry-on packing only for longer trips difficult is the challenge of having clean clothes. Fortunately, these detergent sheets from Kind Laundry will allow you to revisit outfits instead of packing more, as well as avoid steep hotel dry cleaning fees. Free of parabens and harsh chemicals, the plant-powered sheets are easy to tuck into carry-ons and stay fresh while traveling.

But choosing the best travel garment bag for your needs can be a challenge. There are a lot of options on the market, so we asked an expert about how to find the right one. According to Tumi creative director Victor Sanz, “Your garment bag should be sturdy, functional, and sleek. If you’re frequently traveling by plane, a garment bag that folds to fit carry-on requirements is essential.” He adds, “You want to find the size that will fit all your clothes without having to overfold them and will allow you to reach your destination in style.”

It’s also important to consider bonus features, like pockets and organizational compartments, and, as Sanz notes, “A crucial function is to ensure that you’re able to hang your garment bag when you arrive at your destination, so that you can prepare your outfits as easily as possible and to ensure that all your clothes are crisp.” Keeping all this in mind, we found the 12 best travel garment bags out there today. Once you start using one of these, you’re never going to go back.

MZ Wallace’s signature quilting isn’t limited to the brand’s totes, appearing here in garment bag form. The thin design is extremely lightweight, ideal for quick trips when you need to bring one to three outfits. There is even an exterior pocket for bonus storage.

Dimensions: 22" × 3" × 39"

Materials: Oxford, leather

What reviewers are saying: “I have been interested in a MZ Wallace garment bag for a while. It is perfect! Just right proportions and size. Thoughtful design and construction details.”

Tumi always delivers premium luggage that will last you over a decade, and this garment bag is no exception. Sanz says: “It’s foldable, with a sturdy handle for easy carrying, making it convenient and compact for every type of travel. I also love that it has several zipper pockets, so I can pack my toiletries and other travel essentials all in one bag. When I arrive at my destination, I hang it in the closet and I know that I will be ready to go.”

Dimensions: 15" x 22" x 6"

Materials: Ballistic nylon

What reviewers are saying: “This bag stores so much for a carry on. I was able to comfortably fit 2 suits and more for a destination wedding!”

This duffel has been receiving high praise ever since its release. A few of the reasons it’s so popular: The duffel is carry-on friendly, water-resistant, and has interior and exterior pockets. And those are only a few of its distinguishing features. Choose an original or compact size for the style that suits your needs.

Dimensions: 22" x 12" x 12"

Materials: Polyester

What reviewers are saying: “The Garment Duffel is a great purchase, especially for anyone in an industry that takes short frequent trips. I was actually able fit quite a bit more clothes than I had anticipated. Took the bag to work and my company bought 20 of them to give to customers. Great purchase.”

Longchamp’s iconic nylon and leather trim takes on a garment bag silhouette. The two-tone design exudes sophistication, with practical touches like a top carry handle, built-in hanger, and front zip pocket.

Dimensions: 23.25" x 41.25"

Materials: Nylon, leather

What reviewers are saying: “I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend who travels a lot and needed a nice garment bag particularly for his suits. This bag is perfect! It fits his suit as well as a few extra shirts. The fabric is an amazing, durable quality, and the leather details make this product look incredible.”

This garment bag is actually designed to fit inside of your carry-on, rather than serving as a stand-alone piece. The water-resistant exterior protects against spills, and exterior zip pockets hold small accessories. It gets the job done, while taking up the least possible amount of space.

Dimensions: 40" x 19"

What reviewers are saying: “I use this bag when I need to workout at work. I go from a suit to athleticwear in minutes.”

Looking for an affordable option that is available ASAP? Amazon’s garment bag holds up to three suits or dresses and boasts multiple zipper compartments.

Dimensions: 40" x 4" x 20.5"

What reviewers are saying: “I bought this bag in 2019 and it has held up incredibly well since then, performs all functions advertised at a great price value. I have taken it on many flights, buses and train rides and have never had an issue with fitting it in the overhead bin on both longer-haul flights and short budget-airline carriers.”

Hartmann’s garment bag adds contemporary touches to an otherwise traditional design. The result? A chic, useful travel accessory that will stand the test of time. The padded shoulder strap and multiple interior pockets enhance the convenience of this style.

Materials: Nylon

What reviewers are saying: “Hartmann was an anniversary gift from my work place, and I am still proud to own it 35 years later.”

Mark & Graham Commuter 2-in-1 Garment Bag

Another convertible duffel, but this time with a personalized touch. That’s right—Mark & Graham lets you monogram your duffel. With a plethora of zippered and snap interior and exterior pockets, this bag gets creative with its storage solutions.

Dimensions: 22" x 10" x 10"

This spinner-style garment bag makes navigating a chaotic airport easy. The ergonomic design has expandable capabilities, as well as various compartments, a hanger bracket, and a pocket for liquids.

Dimensions: 20.5" x 24" x 9.5"

What reviewers are saying: “It’s easy to maneuver and overall great quality and very neat design (many compartments and zippered areas).”

For golfers and non-golfers alike, Stitch makes a duffel that is water- and stain-resistant, and includes a hanger hook, shoulder strap, elastic shoe pockets, and webbed handles. You can even get it customized with your initials.

Dimensions: 22.5" x 11.5" x 12"

What reviewers are saying: “Love it! Fits into the airplane overhead bin, no trouble bringing it along as a carry-on bag. Very sturdy, zippers are tough enough. Shoulder strap is removable. My suit arrived in top shape using this garment bag. Highly recommended.”

Ralph Lauren Leather-Trim Hybrid Garment Duffel

Ralph Lauren’s duffel design is the epitome of understated elegance. An accompanying shoulder strap makes it easy to carry around.

Dimensions: 15" x 21.5" x 9"

Materials: Polyester, leather

Gucci Savoy Garment Bag

Embrace the bold luxury aesthetic with a Gucci bag covered in the house’s monogram. Containing a big compartment with a hanger and two zip pockets, this garment bag will hold all your essentials.

Dimensions: 21.5" x 16.1" x 6.7"

Materials: Canvas, leather, cotton

The trains and stations of the Moscow Metro

2 Comments · Posted by Alex Smirnov in Cities , Travel , Video

The Moscow Metro is the third most intensive subway system in the world after Tokyo and Seoul subways. The first line was opened on May 15, 1935. Since 1955, the metro has the name of V.I. Lenin.

The system consists of 12 lines with a total length of 305.7 km. Forty four stations are recognized cultural heritage. The largest passenger traffic is in rush hours from 8:00 to 9:00 and from 18:00 to 19:00.

Cellular communication is available on most of the stations of the Moscow Metro. In March 2012, a free Wi-Fi appeared in the Circle Line train. The Moscow Metro is open to passengers from 5:20 to 01:00. The average interval between trains is 2.5 minutes.

The fare is paid by using contactless tickets and contactless smart cards, the passes to the stations are controlled by automatic turnstiles. Ticket offices and ticket vending machines can be found in station vestibules.
