Esse~everyday shopping solutions for the earth!
Esse manufactures a first of it's kind, complete line of reusable shopping bags made from recycled PET (plastic bottles!). Esse bags are designed to be used together in our stylish CarryAll tote or multi Paks or individually in order to eliminate the need for one time use bags. The CarryAll tote holds 3 flat bottom grocery style bags, 2 lightweight produce bags and 1 'everyday' compact, collapsible bag and has extra pockets for coupon organizing, shopping lists, keys, etc. Esse is partnering with a non profit company here in St Paul, whose mission is to help people regain their lives after years of substance abuse, for all of our finish sewing and custom printing. Together we are working to build up their sewing department in order to handle future sewing needs for Esse as well as add new clients. We have other ideas to create a unique rugs out of worn out reusable bags for them to sell on their own website.
