Reusable totes need to be spacious, durable, and versatile.

I also like the various colors and patterns to double as a fashion accessory.

Youll also find one inner pocket to hold your cell phone or keys, too.

This is another must for me.

If I cant comfortably carry the bag on my shoulder, I dont want it.

But it also means its a lightweight, durable material made to withstand anything you might throw its way.

The polyester material used for the bag features a unique weave, adding to the bags durability.

Simply freeze the bag the night before, and itll be ready to go on your next errand.

Plus, they come in tons of adorable patterns, with new ones dropping all the time.

These bags do more than look pretty, though.

Many list their capacity in pounds, such as up to 25 or 50 pounds.

Keep in mind that 25 pounds is worth about one or two plastic bags.

Because of their larger capacities, you may only need a few bags to fit your needs.

All of the options on our list are lightweight and durable enough for weekly grocery runs.

We prefer polypropylene or fabric for large hauls, and polyester for lightweight, foldable bags.

The material also impacts how easy it is to fold and tuck away.

I always prefer reusable tote bags that aremachine-washable.
