The 7 Best Recycled Tote Bags On Amazon
We look at every part of our daily schedule to find ways to reduce the amount of waste that we create. We realize that we leave the house multiple times to replenish our groceries and end up using too many disposable plastic grocery bags on each trip. The bags are thin, flimsy, and tend to be useless beyond a couple of trips. All of these bags are going to end up in the trash anyway after all our trips.
Now that we have shifted to reusable grocery and produce bags, we enjoy a lot of conveniences. The reusable bags are sturdier. They hold more at the same time while keeping their shape. They come in a wide variety of styles that let us differentiate ourselves at the checkout line. It is amazing how a small change makes us far more excited and likely to do our grocery chores on time.
However, we don’t like using the same bags when we go shopping at the mall or other high-end stores. The reusable grocery bags just don’t fit in with our other shopping habits. Instead, we want more stylish and sophisticated options to match our destination. So we got to researching like we always do. We found the best and most stylish recycled tote bags on Amazon to accentuate your look when you go shopping.
Pro Tip: If you happen to hit the mall with one of these bags, be sure to refuse the branded ones that get offered to you at checkout, or else all of the savings are erased.

It will even be a great conversation starter if you happen to come across other fans. If you are the geeky kind then there is also another variant of the same bag which has a picture of Snoopy on it. We absolutely love this entire range!

Myra Bags La Couspaude Upcycled Canvas Tote Bag
This is a little different in that it is made from “upcycled” materials. Upcycled in this case means they are made from canvas tarps and tents to avoid waste. One thing that we find fascinating is that the tarps have been sourced from all over the world and carry the scars and bruises of use. The company launders all the materials and thoroughly clean them. After treatment, each bag carries its own unique marks of wear and tear. This is like getting a very personalized and unique item. We love this concept and won’t let the moderately high price get in the way of a good experience.
This was a fun post to write. We don’t fancy ourselves fashion experts but it is fun to look at the amazing choices available. It also helps that we looked at them from a purely aesthetic perspective. It was fun thinking about colors and styles for a change rather than poring over all the minute manufacturing details. Hopefully, you enjoyed this one. We will try to do more of these in the future!
Love,
Scooch and Steve
