New eco-friendly accessories brand Fulfilled Bags has launched its first creation, a sweet bucket bottomed tote known as The Montauk.
The Montauk, made from a dye-free blend of organic linen/cotton canvas, isn’t a head-turner but it’s a great green alternative to plastic bags when heading to the farmer’s markets or grocery store. Five divided interior pockets can handle your bottles of water or wine, while the dual exterior mesh side pockets are perfect for holding a bunch of flowers. That sounds like a lot to carry, but you needn’t worry. The Montauk is made to support more than 25 pounds of weight.
The Montauk is packaged in an extra organic cotton bag, which could work as a dust cover or an additional purse for toting your fragile fruit and vegetables home. It’s almost like getting two bags in one, which makes the $45 price tag seem quite affordable. However until Labor Day the totes have been discounted by 20%.
Of course, there are many cheaper reusable totes on the market even with this discount, but few are as well made as The Montauk. There also aren’t many that give back to charitable organizations as Fulfilled bags do. Three percent of all proceeds benefit the charity of the customers’ choice. Bagistas can support either Juvenile Diabetes or Feed the Children. A charm attached to the bag says either “heal” or “feed” to commemorate this choice.
The Montauk is available online from the Fulfilled Bags website.
