Cotton Bags 
Cotton Carrier Bags are abundant in the market now, so it can be difficult to tell the difference between all the various thicknesses and qualities offered to you! Below is a brief guide to what to look out for and what differentiates good Cotton bags from bad Cotton bags. You can rest assured that Carrier Bag Shop Cotton bags are ethically sourced and well stitched!
Style and Material
Cotton Bags generally come from the sub continent from countries such as India, Pakistan and China. Cotton shoppers coming from India are generally (but not always) considered to be better quality and more ethically reliable. We have visited every factory that we buy cotton carriers from to ensure the working conditions are suitable, and that there is quality control in place.
Our cotton canvas bags are made from 5oz cotton as standard and with top quality stitch to ensure the bags can handle a good weight. Beware of bags that claim to be a higher weight. Whereas the bag may weigh more, the cotton itself could still be made from a lower weight, sometimes 3oz or 4oz. These bags won’t last long at all.
Despite being un-dyed, natural cotton should also be very clean. If you have bags that are grainy or have coloured specs in them, then the quality of the cotton weave isn’t as good, so always check what you are buying to make sure you are getting the best quality. The colour of dyed bags should be strong and vibrant, and shouldn’t run when wet.

Use of Bags

ECO Credentials
With the recent drive to more environmentally friendly alternatives, cotton bags have been making the headlines and increasing in popularity. The one drawback to the cotton bag is that the transport carbon footprint however is a lot higher. Obviously being a much bulkier product it is not possible to transport as large a volume at one time. In light of this we make sure that we sea freight all of our bags minimising the carbon footprint. In addition to this we have visited all of the factories that our bags are made to make sure that the working conditions are suitable. The raw materials are sourced locally which also minimises the carbon footprint. Cotton Shopping Bags are 100% degradable and 100% recyclable and are compostable over 2 years. As they are re-usable, it also means that we need to ship fewer bags over. Although this may not sound good for us, it does it’s little bit to help reduce the transport carbon footprint of the cotton shopping bags.
