When friends from Hamburg came for a visit last year, they brought us this nifty net tote. Since then, it's come with us everywhere. It bundles into the tiniest little ball that fits snuggly in our pocket or purse and is surprisingly expandable and sturdy.

We've lugged veggies home from the market, carried treasures back from the thrift store and even used it as a book bag.
A while back, we noticed them over at Kiosk but they sold out before we had a chance to extol their virtues to our friends. Since then, they've been added to the "ongoing items" selection. At just $25 each, we're considering picking up a few to give as gifts this year.
Available here.

They give out bags like that for free when you join the Park Slope Food Coop - you can buy them in other colors for free there as well...

Think I saw one at the MOMA Design Store this weekend as well.

i love this! the ones I get at my grocery store are soo bulky and don't fit in my purse. the only way to get anything at all in them is to use the plastic bottom that makes it "sturdy" and doesn't that defeat the purpose of NOT using plastic bags? Does anyone know where I can buy these online? I live in TN, so...
