These “Bag of Bags” were born about seven years ago when my love for rag rug weaving crashed with the plethora of plastic shopping bags overtaking my house. They merged into an idea to remake the eco-unfriendly plastic bags into functional and reusable tote bags.
These tote bags are handwoven on a cotton warp with recycled plastic bags.
About sixty plastic bags are used for the weft in each tote bag.
Each tote bag is unique, no two are the same.
The handle is woven on an inkle loom, and is designed so that it complements the bag for which it’s made. This could be the last plastic shopping bag you’ll ever need!

Other Rag Bags are woven from recycled fabrics, aka: rags. I used clean reclaimed or fugly fabrics. They are woven like ragrugs, just scaled smaller.
Fabric Rag Bags may be machine washed and line dried.
