Susan Bijl Bags by Jacob Resneck
Rotterdam designer Susan Bijl's colorful tote bags make the trip to the supermarket or department store (or wherever) more eco-friendly and more fashionable.
Weighing in at less than thirty bucks, the rain-resistant nylon bags are available in assorted colors (some more nu-rave than others) and two sizes. Either one conveniently packs down to stow away inside of other bags for on-the-go use.
The 10.5x21.5" version's online at Fred Flare for $28.
And oh yeah, did we mention that the concept's Big in Japan?

Baggu Stripes and New Colors

My strategy is to go brightly-colored so that my Baggu always pops...
