Expandable Bag for Traveling
As I was packing for BlogHer a couple of weeks ago I was searching for the perfect expandable bag for traveling. I needed something that would not take up a lot of room in my suitcase but would fulfill my needs once I arrived. Literally 2 days before I left I received a Hobo rePETe from ChicoBag. Perfect! I unpackaged it, fully opened it up, put it back into its original state, and put it in my suitcase bound for New York. This bag was just what I needed!
Not only did it take up just a small, slither of space, but it was the right size for throwing across my body and holding my items through the city. The reusable bag has a large zippered compartment, another zippered pocket inside, and a front slip pocket. There are so many great places to store and hold your valuables and other items. The inside pocket is perfect for my phone, keys, money, license… all those little things I need to keep secure. The bigger compartment was able to hold the things I collected throughout the day. And after it was all said and done I could simply neatly fold the bag all back inside the interior pouch and put it back away.
Reusable Bags for Every Lifestyle
The rePETe line of products are made from recycled materials. Most are primarily 100% post-consumer recycled plastic bottles. You can find a printed materials list on the inside of each bag and the backside of each pouch so you know exactly what your bag is made of. I love that! ChicoBag’s mission statement shows their commitment to reduce our environmental impact:

They plan to obtain this goal by delivering a wide array of reusable bags for every lifestyle. You can learn more about them by liking ChicoBag on Facebook and and following them on Twitter.

I really want some of these wonderful and colorgul bags. I haven’t liked or seen such a great reusable bag ever so I have to get me some. I’ll be happy to be a bag lady carrying my groceries in a Chicobag.LOL!!
I love how small they fold down to which allows me to keep them in my purse etc where I actually won’t forget them when I go shopping.
I like that they don`t take up much room & that they can hold alot of stuff.
