Hands up if you’ve ever found yourself at the supermarket checkout, only to realise you’ve forgotten your re-usable shopping bags? Or perused the local weekend markets literally juggling your purchases as the stall holders don’t give away plastic bags? While we all know the eco benefits of keeping a stash of bags handy for our weekly shop, sometimes we need a little sartorial inspiration to give us that kick up the bum that will inspire us to actually do so. I know I do!
So to help you stay fashionable while also being eco friendly, I’ve rounded up 7 eco bags that are so chic you’ll never forget your re-usable bags again. Keep these totes close and feel smug as you shop your little hearts out.

In chic black this tote will complement any outfit.
We challenge you to find a roomier bag that’s as good looking as this one. Doubles as a beach bag, too.
Keep your hands free while market shopping with this chic take on the basket bag.
