Customer Review: Good, but not great Rating: 3 Stars
I do like these bags. They work well, and four of them are just about perfect for grocery shopping for a family of four. The long handle is great, and the construction is good quality. My only complaints are; 1., the price. They're pretty expensive for a bag. I found after I purchased them that they're more reasonably priced on the manufacturers website, and they often have shipping deals. My other complaint is major. The first time I washed the bags, they shrunk to about half the size, and I did NOT put them in the dryer. I liked them much better before I washed them. That said, they do the job and I like that they're fair wage. From now on, I'll buy them direct from the manufacturer and not wash them until I absolutely have to.
Customer Review: nice, but shrink when washed Rating: 3 Stars
I've had two of these bags for over two years. I use them mainly for the farmer's market and quick trips to the grocery store. I bought them after reading positive reviews and loved them in the beginning. They are strong and are holding up well, but as other reviewers have mentioned, they shrink significantly when washed. I washed one in cold water and was shocked when I compared it to the unwashed bag's size. They get the job done but hold much less now that I have washed them. At the time of purchase there were no reviews mentioning the problem with shrinking--hopefully this review will spare someone else the shock of retrieving a tiny bag from his/her washing machine.
Customer Review: Large capacity and strong Rating: 3 Stars
I originally gave these bags a 5 star review, however that was before I washed them! They're still useful etc but they shrunk to half the size!
I bought two of these bags and they're so large and strong that they can usually hold everything I buy, even on my larger shopping trips. They're really handy and now that I have them I realize just how many plastic bags I was throwing away and the fair wage/fair labor/ recycled cotton is really worth paying a little bit more for.
Customer Review: Very Disappointed Rating: 1 Stars
I was very disappointed with the purchase of this product for the following reasons. The dimensions that are given are for the bag prior to being washed. In other words, the canvas was not preshrunk before the bag was assembled. The bag shrunk in size by over an inch in width and height. I have several other canvas bags, so I know how to care for canvas bags. They are to be washed in cold water and hung to dry. The canvas material used in making these bags was very thin and inferior. I would not recommend these bags, as I believe it is not a quality product.
