Both big and strong, like it's namesake, this makes a great re-useable shopping bag. It holds as many groceries, or whatever, as the large shopping bags. It is strong enough for your gallons of milk and whatnot too. Just say NO to paper and plastic!
The reinforced straps go all the way to the bottom of the bag. Some shop-aholics have complained that our shopping shaped bags weren't big enough, so here you go! Paint 'em, dye 'em, embellish them, make them unique. You might just influence those around you to get rid of that "paper or plastic" choice for one that is much more environmentally friendly. They might think yours are so cool that they want you to make them some! The canvas is a 2x1 weave and 8.11 oz.
Built to last out of 100% natural colored cotton canvas. (Keep in mind that even though very strong, canvas is a looser weave of fabric, so can fray easily, therefore all canvas products should be washed delicately.)

I didn't care so much about dyeing or painting these - I just wanted something to do the job. I was never motivated to buy my own shopping bags before but I have been feeling guilty for awhile. Well our local market was having a "truckload sale" this past weekend and we took our Gorilla bags for their trial run. It is a store where you pack your own bags and my husband had one of them so heavy with the milk and everything that I couldn't even lift it. These bags were up to the test! I love them! I am going to get them as presents for family to get them off the fence to the green side. (Maybe then I will dye them

This bags are true work horses. We have had ours for two years. My kids tie-dyed them and we use them for everything. Swim bags over night bags groceries libraries even when we shop for clothing. They can handle a huge amount of weight. We constantly get compliments on them and refer everyone to Dharma.

These are excellent bags. I'm having to buy more because my girlfriend hijacked the 4 I bought to save paper at the grocery store. They are now used for felting supplies laundry trips and who knows what else. I'm gonna buy more of these get me some groceries and save me some trees this time!

The bag indeed has a very large capacity and I also like the fact that after washing it is soft and easy to fold.However they mean it when they say canvas products should be washed delicately. I got two bags

We are organic farmers. We have a farm-stand and are also a CSA farm with many members. We had our farm logo put onto the sides of the bags.Each CSA member was given one of these bags at the start of the season to transport their weekly produce from the farm to their homes. We also sold these bags in the farm-stand and have none left. Our customers absolutely loved these bags and we had no complaints of seams ripping. We will be reordering soon for this year's season.

I got my first Gorilla bag in 2010 as a gift. I loved it so much that six years later when my roommate kept "borrowing" my bag and not returning it I bought another two. Now fourteen years after receiving the first bag I'm back buying another 2 because my husband is now the bag thief! The very first one I got is still in good shape and holding up to the huge amount of abuse we throw at it. This is the toughest grocery-bag-of-holding I've ever found and bonus round they've even held the dye jobs wonderfully over the years.

I've been buying and using these bags for 15 years. I buy more as my kids take some when they move out so they can use them. I've never had one rip at the seams and they hold tie dye color well. They are very strong as I carry two gallons of milk in one bag on a regular basis. The only downside is they are floppy and I often hold the bag open for the bagger if there is one. I will be buying more bags no doubt.

These are AMAZING for grocery shopping laundry bags carrying gifts at the holiday or any other heavy duty purpose! I really like the sewn strap all around for durability.

These are strong and last a long time. I've had some for about a decade. Sometimes the seams aren't entirely closed on these. They have to be washed carefully because of the coarse weave. The fabric can be resistant to color. I get lots of compliments in the grocery store and have given many of these to my kids and my friends. Very handy size and great for heavy groceries.

Wanted to tie dye this. Initially it was very stiff and resisted water. Washed several times it softened and was workable.

Super great quality heavy duty...not your typical market bag at all! Took dye beautifully (ice dyed) and it's gorgeous! Planning to do a bunch of these.

Nice bag for bulky produce at the farmers market. Like how the handles are integrated into the design.
