Hey, it happens when you spend more than a dozen years working for a .com that specializes in custom reusable bags! With all the bags I see and test, the fact that I am actually gushing about one really says a lot. But I promise you, when you get your hands on our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bulletinbag.com\/product\/bagito-deluxe-grande.html\">Bagito Deluxe Grande<\/a>, you\u2019ll totally get it.<\/p>\n<p>Bagito is one of our retail brand lines. That means that even though you\u2019re ordering from us in bulk with your messaging printed on the side, you\u2019re still getting the exact same bags that you would be if you picked one up at your local store! We love that this brand donates a meaningful percentage of their proceeds directly to their sister non-profit Power2Sustain, which supports K-12 environmental literacy, and we love the high quality materials and construction that go into all of their bags.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Back to the Bagito Deluxe Grande, which is made from recycled materials, btw. I carry a small handbag. It only needs to fit my wallet, Chap Stick (strawberry, if you will), and one <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bulletinbag.com\/product\/bagito-deluxe-grande.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-3012\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bulletinbag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/cTXaLEILRlqKGlwe3SNdNw-e1569953649801-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Bagito Deluxe Grande Stuffed\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bulletinbag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/cTXaLEILRlqKGlwe3SNdNw-e1569953649801-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.bulletinbag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/cTXaLEILRlqKGlwe3SNdNw-e1569953649801-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a>folding reusable bag (the more compact the better). My problem in the past was that a compact folding bag = a SMALL folding bag. But I don\u2019t want a teeny tiny bag, I just want a small footprint. Guess what? The Deluxe Grande stuffs super compactly into a sewn-in pouch. But when you open it up, it\u2019s huge!<\/p>\n<p>So I have this huge folding bag, which is nice and durable and easy to tote when it\u2019s open. It has generous shoulder straps and comes in great colors. So do a lot of other bags, right? Well, where the Bagito leaves the others in the dust is in the small details, the ones that you wouldn\u2019t think too much about until you need them and\u2026There. They. Are.<\/p>\n<p>Detail #1 that I didn\u2019t know I totally needed: a cinch up, drawstring closure. Seriously, folks, why hasn\u2019t anyone figured this out before? (Side note: if they have, let us know so we can add more of these <a href=\"Bagito Deluxe Grande Cinch Closure\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-3011 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bulletinbag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/SPxBNaaSmIxMuMWLDw-e1569953600217-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Bagito Deluxe Grande Cinch Closure\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bulletinbag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/SPxBNaaSmIxMuMWLDw-e1569953600217-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.bulletinbag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/SPxBNaaSmIxMuMWLDw-e1569953600217-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a>type of bags!). Picture this: You have one large folding bag, filled with last minute grocery goodies. You plop it down on the seat next to you for the ride home. What happens next? The sides all slip down and show off all your food. Because it\u2019s rPET and it\u2019s lightweight and it\u2019s not meant to hold its shape like canvas or polypropylene. So now your toothpaste is under the seat and your can of soup is on the ground rolling around.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe you\u2019ve done this before and learned your lesson, so now you tie the handles together before you put the bag down? Yeah, it took me about a year to remember to do this! Anyway, with this bag, you just stuff it full and cinch it close. You still have full use of your shoulder straps because you didn\u2019t have to tie them in a knot. Small detail, huge bonus!<\/p>\n<p>Detail #2 that rocks: a water bottle pocket. Yes, in a folding reusable bag. It\u2019s there, I promise. And it\u2019s generously sized in both girth and height. Enough so that I can slide my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bulletinbag.com\/product\/bagito-deluxe-grande.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-3014\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bulletinbag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/7Zu02khuT2SXkV7OCyRI1A-e1569953795737-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Bagito Deluxe Grande Water Bottle Pocket\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bulletinbag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/7Zu02khuT2SXkV7OCyRI1A-e1569953795737-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.bulletinbag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/7Zu02khuT2SXkV7OCyRI1A-e1569953795737-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a>bulky 32 oz. Hydro Flask in there comfortably! That baby doesn\u2019t even fit in my car\u2019s cup holders (grrr\u2026that\u2019s a story for another day). No water bottle? No problem. Use it to stash your car keys and cell phone! Or get yourself some branded water bottles here (shameless plug for sister company).<\/p>\n<p>Ok, so now for the dislikes. I have one. My big dislike on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bulletinbag.com\/product\/bagito-deluxe-grande.html\">Bagito Deluxe Grande<\/a> is that I don\u2019t have more than one of them. I\u2019m 100% being honest. I totally hate that I only have one lonely bag like this.<\/p>\n<p>Want your own? Take it from me\u2026whomever you sell, gift, or reward with this bag + your branding will be SO happy to have it. And goodwill is always worth every penny spent!<\/p>\n<p>XO, Jennifer<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019m a bag person.
