As skeptical as I’m of Amazon the corporate, it is aware of its packaging. Its paper-tape cardboard containers are splendidly simple to tear aside for recycling, its paper mailers are promising (although lacking agency dedication), and its present luggage are far too good to toss within the trash. Particularly these new blue luggage with built-in buying bag handles.

We simply received three of them within the mail for my daughter’s birthday. Was this some type of experiment? Nope! They’re legit, Amazon spokesperson Nicole Pampe confirms to The Verge. The brand new present luggage with handles can be found in each the US and EU.

They’ve nonetheless received the twin drawstrings, and you’ll simply stuff the handles down contained in the bag when you favor the traditional giftbag look.

I gave the handles an excellent yank, and was undoubtedly capable of pull a sew unfastened once I pulled in reverse instructions, arduous, however they appear simply as sturdy as all of the reusable recycled material grocery luggage we’ve got stuffed behind the automotive.

The handles are lengthy sufficient we are able to sling them over one or each shoulders as an impromptu purse or backpack. Maybe the very best half, although, is that they don’t have fairly as a lot of a Christmas decoration really feel as the corporate’s earlier luggage. Relying on the sunshine, the blue tinsel sample nearly blends in.

Would I pay the $4 for one myself? Nah. However after we get gifted some, we in all probability gained’t simply stick ‘em within the closet anymore. There are all types of jobs for a robust material bag with handles, significantly one we’ll be joyful to provide away or shred within the course of. Distributing leftovers after a potluck? My daughter’s Woman Scout cookie deliveries? I’ll def be taking one alongside the subsequent time I do a crawl underneath the home.
