Absolutely. A good one replaces hundreds of single-use bags and actually makes carrying things easier.

Look for reinforced stitching, quality fabric, and wide straps (ours tick all three 😉).

Yes! The best ones (like these) are designed to fold small but carry a full grocery load.

Many are made from recycled materials like plastic bottles — giving waste a second life.

Our Ruby Olive bags are made from at least 80% recycled PET bottles and coloured with non-toxic dyes. The fabric is OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified, independently tested and completely free from harmful substances. Good for you, good for the planet.

Each Ruby Olive Shopping Bag holds up to 25kg — yes, really. That's a big grocery haul, a beach day's worth of gear, or a generous armful of gifts. They're deceptively roomy and far sturdier than the average supermarket bag.

Easy! Simply roll and clip using the fastener or scrunch it into the internal pocket and you're done — compact enough to tuck into your handbag, glovebox, or jacket pocket. Skye even made a video showing you how. No origami skills required.

Yes! Your bag is hand-wash and gentle cold machine wash friendly. Give it a gentle wash with a mild detergent and lay flat in a shaded spot to dry. We do not recommend fast spin, hot machine washing and tumble drying in order to prolong the life of your bag. Bleach and harsh chemicals are also not recommended.

Yes! There's a handy inner pocket for keys, your phone, or anything you need to grab quickly. The handles are also generously sized and comfortable on the shoulder even with a full load.

Please note:we have recently been doing some testing on whether our customer use the pocket for bits and bobs OR to scrunch the bag into. So some bags may have the pocket sewn in what seems to be inside out - this is so you can scrunch or fold it easily into the pouch. If you would prefer to use it as a pocket, simply turn it inside out. If you have these bags and have a preference, please let us know - we'd love your feedback!

Every bag features original artwork from a talented Australian artist. You'll find their name towards the top of this product page. We also have details of their story on our blog and our artist pages - because celebrating artists and finding more about who designed our patterns makes our products even more special.

From time to time we might also design some artwork ourself.

Oh, absolutely. Customers regularly buy these in multiples for friends and family for special events like birthdays and thank yous. They're also a favourite at Christmas time for Kris Kringles, Secret Santas and stocking fillers. They arrive rolled up with an image of the bag plus additional info on the front, so you can give them as-is. Job done, smiles delivered.

Not the flimsy ones.
Not the ones that disappear into the void.
Not the ones that split mid-carpark (we’ve all been there 😅)

These are your grab-and-go, always-have-one-on-you kind of bags.
Strong. Foldable. Surprisingly roomy.
Ready for groceries, school runs, market hauls… and everything in between.
