This is now my favorite go-to tote for grocery shopping! They are machine washable unlike many of the bags in the market. I just tossed in the washer when it needed some cleaning. I love how it feels and looks. They are super study and very well-made. The bag comes folded in a cute pouch. I use the bag frequently so I haven't folded it back into the pouch but I do use the pouch to keep my keys, card and phone when I go shopping. I now only need one bag, convenient! The bag also has some inside sleeves to keep any glass bottles and jars from rattling and the greens from getting crushed. I am so in love in this bag that I plan to purchase more of these in the future as gifts!
