I’m sure that by now you’ve heard all about the value and importance of bringing your own reusable bags for groceries and other purchases to the store with you. Apart from all of the environmental benefits to bringing your own bags, there is always that one other little thing that never seems to elude me – fashion. Yes, bringing your own bags to the store is a fun way of self-expression, and is also a way to showcase your inner fashionista. I personally have an interesting collection of reusable bags – no two are alike, and they are all very “me”. Pretty patterns, humorous sayings in French (Les Fruits sont nos amis! Bah, oui, mais on ne mange pas nos amis…), and fun colors make up my collection (and make me smile after standing in long lines with a very impatient toddler).
I recently happened upon these great reusable bags from skeeda, and I am hooked! These bags are stylish, roomy, and sturdy — I fit two half-gallons of organic milk, a box of cereal, and a few other things all in my skeeda bag on a quick trip into the store yesterday. I told the lady at the checkout that I had my own bag, and pulled out my bag in Eggshell print (I love blues and browns together!), and she immediately oohed and ahhed over what a “pretty” bag it was! Take that, paper and plastic!
Skeeda bags come in a variety of patterns and colors, and will normally run you $15 a pop, though if you use the code “chicshopper” you will save $5 off every order! Skeeda claims to be the bag for the hip, eco-chic shopper – and seeing as how i’m a “Chic Shopper” I’m inclined to agree!
Win it! Win a Skeeda bag in the pattern or print of your choosing. To enter, visit Skeeda and come back here and tell me what your favorite pattern is (official names please!). As usual, extra entries are available for stumbling Chic Shopper Chick (leave your stumble name), subscribing to my site, following me on Twitter, and blogging about this giveaway with a link back here and to Skeeda.
US entries only, winner will be chosen via random.org at the end of the contest. Winners are posted here, please leave a valid email address or blog address if you’d like to be contacted should you win. Winner has 72 hours to claim their prize. This contest ends at 11:59 pm CST on January 23rd, 2009.
I love these bags, I also use reuseable bags but they are not as attractive as these bags are. I love the Peony, The Tangerine, and The bag called Stream. They are all pretty. Thank you for sharing this fantastic site with us.

I thought the dots or stripes might make me look fat (LOL), but I really like the “Peony” pattern – very feminine and of course, chic!!
i like peony and eggshell. these are really great bags!
I love the berry pattern and bright colors. Thanks for having this wonderful giveaway!
Oh my. I took one look and loved ’em. Like you, no two shopping bags are the same for me. I use them all the time and love my collecion. This would add some new spice! Great giveaway, thank you! I would love the peony, frost or eggshell.
Peony is for sure my favorite Skeeda bag! LOve love love it!

Eggshell. Anything with chocolate brown, my favorite color. Very modern looking.

I like the stream one best!
I LOOOVVVEE the Eggshell bag. I looked at all of the designs and I could picture walking and shopping with the eggshell print bag. It’s suttle blue color and the brown vines remind me of a organic shopping experience and them colors match well with alot of clothing choices.

What a tough decision. I like the Frost, Olive, and Tangerine ones. Twisting my arm, I’d go with Tangerine…I think. :)
It’s a tie between Berry and Watermelon. I am so sorry so many women’s sites are being targeted by the new safety law regarding products designed for children 13 and younger. How many small businesses can afford to pay for the testing to get the certification that their products are safe for children 13 and younger. I am afraid it will put many stay at home mom’s who also have businesses online out of business. This is a great product line, and hopefully the government never targets the totes too. I pray that the women who need to can reinvent themselves and their product lines and are not stuck with alot of inventory that doesn’t meet government guidelines. If they gave away in giveaways and contests the old product line instead of selling it (children items for 13yr. olds and younger) while promoting their new product lines, would they get around the law? I mean they are not selling it. If they listed in the giveaway that it may or may not meet new government guidelines, and they weren’t selling it for profit could they bypass the laws? I am just curious. I’ll pray for all of you who have sites that the new law doesn’t undo your dreams. Thanks.
I like the “Eggshell” that you feature here best, but the “frost” is also very nice. Thanks!
I like the watermelon bag.

So much cuter than the store bags. I’d have to pick peony as my favorite with eggshell coming in second, but they are all really cute.

I love the “Eggshell” pattern. It was one of my goals for 2009 to use only reusable bags vs. plastic or paper. It has cut down on the amnt of junk I have bought from the grocery store ~ and it’s helping the environment which of course was the main goal.
