Trying to follow the environmentally conscious advice to bring her own reusable grocery bag to the store, Sharon Rowe couldn’t find a sturdy enough bag to do the trick. Instead of re-using plastic bags that would eventually rip, Rowe created ECOBAGS instead.
Made with the highest standard for quality and durability, ECOBAGS are made for longevity by way of a thick weave in the string bags and double stitching in canvas bags that ensure they will last for years.
Launching ECOBAGS at the 30th annual Earth Day Celebration in New York City, their first product, the signature Classic String Market Bag sold out in six hours. The company grew and branched out into custom printing and wholesale work of nonprofits, health food stores and supermarkets. ECOBAGS is now one of the premier providers of reusable bags in the U.S.
A certified woman owned business (WBENC) and a member of the Organic Trade Association and Coop America Business Network, ECOGABS was chosen as the official bag of the "Green With Envi" celebrity gift lounge for the 2007 Emmys.
