We’ve all been there: you pop into NTUC FairPrice, Cold Storage, or Sheng Siong for "just a few things," and walk out with a handful of single-use plastic bags. With Singapore’s nationwide plastic bag charge firmly in place, bringing your own bag is no longer just a trend — it’s a daily habit.
But eco-friendly shopping doesn't have to mean carrying a collection of worn-out canvas totes. You can drastically cut down on your plastic footprint while keeping your supermarket trips organized, comfortable, and chic.
Here are four iconic reisenthel companions designed to help you say a permanent goodbye to single-use plastics on your next grocery run!
How many times have you made an unexpected detour to the shops after work, only to realize you don’t have a reusable bag with you?

-
The Upgrade: Don’t let its tiny folded size fool you. Unfolded, it has a generous capacity and features two long carrying straps that sit comfortably on your shoulder, replacing dozens of flimsy plastic bags a year.
Buying laundry detergent, milk cartons, and heavy pantry staples? Lugging those home in plastic bags is a recipe for sore fingers and torn plastic.

For big family hauls or weekend wet market visits, you need a high-capacity basket that can handle everything without breaking a sweat — or a plastic handle.
