philosophy

The philosophy of Envirosax® is to help create a better future for our planet by spreading the environmental message through colour and script using the Envirosax® eco-friendly reusable bag as the vehicle.
Envirosax is proud to help protect the environment for tomorrow’s generation by providing an eco-friendly alternative to disposable shopping bags that have caused so much damage to the environment worldwide. Envirosax bags are lightweight, portable, waterproof and each one holds the equivalent of two supermarket plastic bags thanks to reinforced seams.
We believe in environmental sustainability. Plastic bags clog drains and cause flooding. They pollute rivers and streams, killing animals and destroying plantlife. They take years to photodegrade and have a very short life span. Envirosax provide a compelling alternative to the plastic bags which are doing so much damage to our planet.
Envirosax donates a percentage of its sales to charities and non-profit organisations dedicated to the preservation of the environment.

Organic Cotton Bag 3 - Made In Perulifestyle

Founded by Belinda and Mark David-Tooze in 2004, Envirosax® originates from Currumbin Valley in South East Queensland, Australia. The Envirosax team uses renewable and recyclable products where possible, and is committed to operating on ecologically sustainable principles.
Situated on 10 acres of pristine Australian rainforest, Belinda, Mark and their three young children live an ecologically sustainable lifestyle with solar hot water and photovoltaic cells for electricity. A sewage system recycles waste water, watering the extensive permaculture gardens and filtered rainwater tanks provide the organic vegetable gardens, fruit trees and the premises with water.
They live totally off the grid and are living the sustainable lifestyle that we hope will spread to more and more homes in the future.

Sesame Street Pouch
My husband and I  shop with our reusable bags all the time. It is the family joke about just how many we have.  We use them for our grocery shopping trips, visits to the book store, even Home Depot.  If you look around while shopping, you will notice many stores now provide incentives to bring your own bags.  Target being one.


What I love about Envirosax is that they take the reusable bags to a whole new level, beyond their daily functions and make a fashion statement with them.  Their site states: our designer reusable bags are spreading the eco-friendly message with style! They even carry an organic line! Organic and eco-friendly! Can't get much better than that!

La Boheme Bag 1For my review, I was sent a La Boheme Bag 1.  La Boheme has been inspired by a fusion of the romanticism of Bohemia and the ideals of the Art Nouveau movement. This new range is a celebration of Envirosax pushing conventional boundaries, breathing new life into eco-friendly products with a focus on beautiful design.



Graphic Series Pouch 1Although I selected my bag, I was still surprised by the beauty of it is person. It is extremely durable. My first use was to carry about 20, heavy, magazines in it to give away. And, carrying all those magazines showed me just how room it is, with measurements of 19.5" x 16.5".  It also comes in a pouch for easy storage. I love it because it makes it really compact and I, now, always have at least one bag in my purse. 



Envirosax has a bag for everyone! Bags in the graphic series, like my La Boheme, the organic bags previously mentioned, a greengrocer seriesa kids series, and even a DIY series! There is one fit for everyone’s style!

Awesome! I think these can really help people be more eco-conscious. If I can be eco friendly and look fab at the same time, I am all for it!
