Enter my gorgeous blogger friend Kelly, who saw a lamentable gap in the Aussie market for reusable cotton bags for these items, and went about having some made for her almost-ready-to-launch new business.
Et voila! Beautiful, recycled organic cotton, reusable drawstring bags, labelled using eco-friendly azo-free dyes.
They are approximately 29cm x 36cm long, ideal for a kilo or two of bulk dried goods, or fruit and veg of course.
There's nothing like them available in Australia at the moment that I've seen, and it looks like she's sold out her initial listing on eBay (yay Kelly!), so keep an eye on her website which should be going live soon, to purchase your own set.
Lucky me got in early to buy my set which arrived late last week - now I can't wait to get down to the markets to try them out!

UPDATE: Kelly has relisted some of her bags on eBay here. Go forth and shop sustainably ;-)

Cheers,

WHOOHOO! They arrived safely. I have some beautiful gauze and net ones of similar dimensions arriving soon! If your readers are interested I can send you some for a blog giveaway too!
Thanks Julie, I'm on my way over there!
Ooh, I likes! Good luck Kelly, sounds like a fantastic business idea, and love the name too...
Hi - I have also made some simple net bags to use for fruits and veggies if I buy from the market. For other bags I have been reusing older canvas bags that we used to get when we went to a convention - they would give you a bag when you arrived full of materials, adverts, etc when you checked in at the convention or conference.
Kelly's bags look like they are great. Thanks for posting about them. Emily in Texas
Thanks for the tip off - off to have a peek
Awesome! These will go very well with the net ones I already use for my fruit/veg. Just needed some for my legumes :) Thanks for the link, I've bought some!
These bags look great and so versatile. This is something strongly on my mind at the moment, so I'll pay the website a visit, thanks for sharing!
