What color or print would you prefer for a reusable cloth grocery or shopping bag?

Question

Plaid

Zebra stripe with red trim

Grey suit fabric with red trim

Navy with white trim

Raspberry solid

Answer 1

I like the zebra stripe with red trim. It sounds cute and I always like to combine function with flair whenever possible! My second choice would be the grey suit fabric with red or black trim. Very businesslike and chic!

Answer 2

Something printed with non-toxic, organic inks with an environmental message on it.  It's a functional piece for me, not a fashion statement.

Answer 3

I like them to be washable.  Black is a great color, since it does not show up dirt easily.  

White or canvis color is great, easy to wash all of them together...however they show up dirt easily.

I got 20 yards of a royal blue with white tropical flowers on it for $10 at a local thrift store.  Great heavy canvis matterial.  All of my bags are going to look very tropical!  

I know another woman who is making them from recycled jeans.  Some of them are pretty cool, with handy pockets on the outside to stash a cell phone, or shopping list.  

Washability is a factor for me.  Other than that, I really don't care what the print, or no print it.

Answer 4

Black with a skull & crossbones print.

Answer 5

White.  I use cloth grocery bags until they develop holes in them.  Then I stick my kids feet through the holes and use the bags as diapers.  Once they are no longer usable as diapers, I turn them into wash rags.  When they can no longer be used, I compost them.
