Foldable Shopping Bags & Reusable Totes

Foldable shopping bags that fit in your handbag

Compact, lightweight, reusable shopping bags illustrated by Australian artists. Each bag folds down to roughly 10 x 8cm and unfolds to a full-size grocery tote — no more single-use plastic, no more ""I forgot my bag"" guilt.

How they work

Each bag is made of ripstop nylon — strong enough to carry 10kg of groceries, light enough to forget you're carrying it. Folds into its own integrated pouch with a snap closure. Unfolds in two seconds at the checkout.

The illustrated range

Native Australian animals, beach scenes, florals, and quirky food prints across the range. Each bag is a different artist's design — see our cotton tote bags for the heavier-weight everyday tote, or printed purses and pouches for matching small accessories.

Why foldable beats heavy cotton

Cotton totes are great for fashion or quick trips — but they're bulky and most people don't carry one daily. Foldable bags live in your handbag, glovebox, or coat pocket, and they're always there when you need one. Most customers buy three or four for different bags and cars.

FAQs:

How much can a foldable shopping bag hold?

Each bag holds up to 10kg of groceries comfortably. The seams are reinforced and the strap is wide enough to distribute the weight without cutting into your shoulder.

What are the bags made of?

Ripstop nylon — strong, lightweight, and water-resistant. Folds into its own integrated pouch with a snap closure. The artwork is printed onto the nylon and won't fade or peel with regular use.

Can the bags be machine-washed?

Yes. Cold wash on a gentle cycle, then air-dry. Don't tumble-dry — heat can deform the nylon over time.

How small does the bag fold down?

Roughly 10 x 8cm and about 1cm thick when folded. Fits in a handbag, glove box, coat pocket, or backpack pocket.

How are these different from cotton tote bags?

Cotton totes are heavier, bulkier, and meant for fashion or quick trips. Foldable nylon bags are designed to live in your handbag and always be there. Most customers buy three or four — one for each handbag, glovebox, and coat.
