Edenfantasys tote bag - storage container discontinued by EdenFantasys - review by sunflower

Do you have a lot of stuff? Want to store your purchases? Are you eco-oriented and want to reuse your bags? Going to Aldi and have to bag your own groceries? You're in luck! The Eden Bag is free with an order (or $2.00 which is still not bad). You can use this bag over and over.

The bag is made of 'nonwoven fabric', which feels like thick plastic to me. The bag is pretty cute and it says "Edenfantasys - Sexy & Smart" on it. Personally, I am too paranoid to bring something with Eden's name on it out in public and parade it around, but it really isn't a sexual design in the slightest. It's not discreet, but it isn't tacky either. The back of the bag has the website name and a red and green pattern with the leaf logo.

The bag is waterproof on the outside, but not on the inside. I did not see this information listed on the product page. Be careful about spilling liquids inside and securely tighten the caps on your lube if you're using it as a storage bag.

It's a fairly sturdy bag. Sometimes shopping bags are poorly made, but the Eden Bag is decent overall. It isn't the BEST bag I've ever had. I do own sturdier and bigger bags that I prefer over this, but it is well-made and sturdy enough. There was no loose stitching on my bag or any blatant imperfections, though there are a few places that the trim goes past where it should. It's awesome for a $2 bag! Though the Eden Bag is roughly the same height as most plastic non-reusable grocery bags, it's much wider and you can fit more into it. The bag probably won't last forever, but I can just add one to my order if this one breaks. There isn't a ton to know about it. It's a bag! Give it a try and add it to your cart if it's free when placing an order.

What makes this eco-friendly?
I decided to include some facts and statistics that you may not know about those thin, disposable plastic bags:
-Number of plastic bags used annually worldwide: 1 trillion
-Number of years it takes for a plastic bag to degrade: 1,000 years
-Amount of plastic bags discarded in 2008: 3.5 million tons
-Percent of plastic bags made every year that will end up in the ocean: 10% (this can the cause death of sea critters)]
-Barrels of oil used per year in the manufacturing of disposable plastic bags: 12 million
-Percentage of plastic bags recycled in the US every year: Less than 5%
