The lighter of our two recycled cotton totes, this shopping bag runs 120 gsm, measuring 380 by 420 mm for about 7 litres, with long handles for shoulder carrying. At 120 gsm this is the lightest cotton weight in the range, which keeps the unit price and the shipping cost down when the order runs into thousands.

Light cotton folds into a pocket or a handbag and weighs almost nothing, so it is the version most likely to be carried habitually rather than left at home. It handles a light shop, books or a laptop, and the recycled cotton content gives it a defensible sustainability claim without a premium price.

Nine colours are available, including beige, blue, orange, red, ash grey, green, light blue, rose and yellow. The combination of low cost and colour range makes it the standard bag for mass distribution: street campaigns, festivals, trade fair handouts, in-store carriers, election and awareness drives, and school events. It ships flat and dense, which keeps logistics simple on large volumes.
