New Line of Reusable Eco-Friendly Bags Emerge as a Sex Symbol of Global Awareness

Sophisticated designs and quality finishes turn the every day bag into a chic accessory.

Annapolis, MD, March 13, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Working to reduce plastic bag proliferation, social and eco-conscious entrepreneurs Alli Oliver and Stefanie DiBenedetto have aligned their very diverse backgrounds in fashion, marketing and manufacturing to design a reusable bag that’s so trendy and stylish you would never consider discarding it. Shagbag, LLC (www.shopshagbags.com) offers a stylish solution and alternative for the eco-conscious woman, teen and man who are looking for an easy transition into a greener lifestyle.

Driven by local and global initiatives to reduce paper and plastic waste, consumers worldwide have demonstrated their desire to “do their part” by purchasing store brand grocery totes. However, these so-called “reusable” bags tend to be awkward, making them hard to carry, or stow for that matter, and because of this people simply forget to bring them on their future shopping excursions.

In the fast growing eco-bag industry, the Shagbag™ advantage lies in its well thought out design and ease of use.

High quality and attention to detail in the form of color, graphics, embroidery, and other embellishments on a Shagbag™ are designed to attract even the most discerning brand-conscious consumers. With a Shagbag™, they can show the world they support global clean up, while using a fashionable brand that fits into their lifestyle and carries status.

A Shagbag™ encourages reuse with its unique lightweight fabric, which allows it to be crunched and or folded. It can be stowed for easy accessibility in a pocket, purse, gym bag, or its very own matching pouch, which doubles as the bag’s packaging to conserve waste. The Shagbag’s innovative fabric is machine washable, weatherproof, tear-proof and gets softer with each use.

Shagbags are made of spun-bonded olefin, commonly known as Tyvek®, making them crunchable, foldable, lightweight, and printable, as well as easily recyclable. Tyvek® carries the number “2” recycling symbol, meaning the bags can be recycled at any facility throughout the world that recycles HDPE products.

Having a Shagbag™ close at hand means reusability is more likely, easily saving the average person over 500 plastic and paper bags a year. Starting at just $14, consumers of all ages and genres can afford to buy many styles for every application in life. From play dates to day trips, Shagbags appeal to every demographic; males and females, young and old because everyone carries something somewhere.

Shagbag, LLC (www.shopshagbags.com) created three divisions to meet the needs of retail, wholesale, and custom design clients. Their online store opens in mid April with a full-selection of bags available for purchase. You will also find Shagbags in stores nationwide and in Japan and Canada. Bulk pricing is available for wholesale and large custom orders.

About Shagbag, LLC:

The company was formed in late 2007, when partners Alli Oliver and Stefanie DiBenedetto made it their mission to refuse retailers bags. Not wanting to compromise their style, they found themselves longing for a reusable shopping bag as stylish as their outfits. Four weeks later, Shagbag™ was born.
