A shopping bag built like it means it. The Alternative Shopping Bag is made from 400GSM 100% recycled cotton canvas significantly heavier than a standard bag with construction details that most bags at this price point don't bother with: herringbone tape on the interior seams, a bottom soufflé that holds the base flat when loaded, side soufflés that give the bag real volume, and a hidden snap closure at the top that keeps everything in place.

Two handle lengths short for hand carry, long for shoulder carry both reinforced with cross-stitch at the attachment points. An internal self-fabric pocket sits on the back wall inside. The woven recycled cotton canvas is substantial enough to hold its shape whether it's empty or fully loaded. The Alternative script logo embroidered on the front panel the only branding on the bag.
