Our bags are made of 100% cotton. These bags are the same size as traditional paper grocery bags but hold more because they are made with a double thickness of cotton. The 17 inch handles are reinforced with cotton webtape and are cross stitched for extra durability. They fit on the bag holders in the grocery stores for easy loading. We offer several patterns so you are sure to find one you like. Machine wash and dry. Hand made in the USA.Plastic bags have been recorded as a cause of entanglement in marine animals. Entanglement can restrict movement, leading to starvation, drowning or suffocation. (MSC) (UNEP) www.plasticbagfree.comwww.TheGreatBag.com
