Apolis Vegan Market Bag - High Tide Edition
Affectionately nicknamed the “High Tide Hauler,” this market bag does it all. Right at home at farmers markets and errand days, we’ve also loved ours as a beach bag, airport carry on, and even foot-of-the-carseat store-all.
The mothers who handcraft Apolis bags receive Fair Trade wages, annual profit dividends, and a retirement fund to help them achieve their dreams thanks to the Bangladesh Project. Each bag is stamped with the factory code (see below).

Natural Material: 100% natural golden jute fiber harvested in Bangladesh
Water-Resistant Lining: 100% polyurethane
Strong: Can hold over 100 pounds
