Simple Ecology Organic Cotton Deluxe Reusable Grocery Shopping Bag with Bottle Sleeves and Rigid Bottom Support (UPDATED DESIGN) - Natural 3 Pack

Deluxe Grocery Bags contain all of the best features of function and comfort. Exterior piping stitching gives the bag strength and support. Six interior sleeves can be used to hold bottles and tall items in place. Make a 12 x 7 inch bottom support from thick scrap cardboard to help them stand up. Long lasting, heavy-duty construction will allow you to save paper and plastic bags for many years. Our bags are made of CERTIFIED ORGANIC COTTON avoiding the highly toxic pesticides, fertilizers and processing chemicals used in regular cotton. WASHING & CARE: Heavy-duty 11 oz. canvas will last for many years. Wash in COLD water and flat or line drying. Color bags are prewashed during dyeing so the fabric is softer and shrinkage is minimal. Natural bags are unprocessed canvas so they are initially much stiffer. After the first few washes Natural bags MAY appear excessively wrinkled and shrunken, depending on your water hardness and laundry detergent. DON'T BE ALARMED. You can stretch them back out and reduce the wrinkles by pulling on the fabric in both directions when the bag is wet. After stretching, flat air dry. When bags are filled with heavy loads they will also stretch out and soften, until they are "broken in". The Natural bags permanent shrinkage will be 7-10% (~1") in length and 5% (~3/4") in width.
