Recycled Shopping Bags

Made Locally (not in China)

I sew unique and colorfull recycled shopping bags (out of bird seed sacks) so you can say no to the "Paper or Plastic" question for good. It's time to get rid of those bags that seem to congregate and secretly multiply under the sink.

The Shopping Bags are to be used over and over again, they are very durable and water resistant,just wipe clean if needed.

By purchaseing one of my shopping bags you are contributing to keeping all these bags out of the landfill. It serves multiple benefits and even helps me feed the birds :-)

Please drop off your unwanted bird seed sacks made of heavy duty fiber/plastic material

(20 lb-bags and up) at

"Eco-Wise" 110 West Elizabeth or call (512)326-4474 for more details, please help I need more bags ! It's a good thing to do!

You can also purchase my shopping bags at Eco-wise for $13.95-15.95

Large shopping Bags with double seam $15.95

Bird Seed Shopping Bags are available in different sizes smaller ones for produce/breads and the larger ones for heavy items. The sacks can hold 20lbs-45 lbs. the weight amount of the bird seed sack. All the bird seed is grown and the bags are manufactored here in the U.S not China, and the bags are sewn locally here in South Austin not in China.
Say No Thank-You to "Paper or Plastic? " forever. Support the birds,the environment and local merchants all at the same time. What was the old saying something about killing two birds with one stone?? I never did get that one for obvious reasons, but this would be like saving two birds with one Shopping Bag?? :-)
This is a variety pack which fit inside each other to make an easy tote. It makes it easy to short your groceries all in one bag.
The Extra Large shopping Bag

This shopping bag was a fifty pound sack of bird food, it is the largest shopping bag I have. Very durable. The fifty pound sacks are hard to come by so if you have any I would very much appreciate your unwanted 50 pounders, you can drop them off at Eco-Wise 110 W.Elizabeth St.
Here is a medium and a small size shopping bag, they are all unique and the flavors are always changing depending on the bird feed sacks I get. Always starts a conversation while waiting in line, please tell them where you got it!
Here is two smaller bags. I like to use the tall little ones for my celery,bushy greens, scallions etc. and the other for apples,oranges etc. that way you don't even have to indulge in those clear plastic bags in the produce department. You can walk out of the store with absolutley no plastic at all, it is a good feeling. The checkers love my bags.
Serious family size shopping bags. All bags are water resistant, just wipe clean if needed.
Here are two large shopping bags. All bags are made by "The Recycled Bag Lady" a home grown South Austinite.
