Can Wall Street Be Eco-Friendly?? Yes it can!!!
December 31st, 1969
In theory, we should like grocery shopping - all those choices, pretty produce, guilty pleasure gossip mags, in one place. Yet, between the too many people, bothersome easy listening that is being piped in, and the disturbing amount of plastic being needlessly used up and discarded…we get a little depressed.
Now, maybe we can’t stop them from playing Kenny G and we can’t make everyone disappear when we enter the store, but we can start a little revolution of our own against all the plastic. Now reusable grocery bags aren’t anything new; canvas totes and various polyester bags have been a around for awhile, giving people a Earth-friendly choice instead of those paper thin plastic bags offered for free at check out.
But what we’ve often wondered is how come these bags haven’t been perfected? The canvas totes don’t hold much and tend to be a little too granola for our tastes, and the other poly bags just don’t seemed to be shaped right to hope the optimum amount of groceries. The shape is too slack or the handles are too short – inevitably there is a shortcoming to all. And um. They’re all a bit ugly which means you aren’t so enthused to remember them everyday.
Well, that is until we discovered RuMe (roo-me).

With their super-cute name that stands for ReUse Me to their even more adorable patterns RuMe had us at first sight. Yet, as we mentioned we wanted the perfect bag, aesthetically pleasing and the height of utility. Utility is where RuMe really got us hooked, big enough to hold a five gallon container of water, but structured enough to hold just a few items and not crumple up in the back seat, these bags are tops!!
So make some room for RuMe in your purse, your car, a kitchen drawer, or anywhere else you need help carrying anything in a jiff!
About RuMe Bags:
Affordable, stylish RuMe Bags are designed for daily use – and ReUse – in any situation:
- Grocery or mall shopping; as a gym, sports, diaper or beach bag; for après ski, picnics or overnighters; for laundry, farmer’s markets, work or as ReUseable gift bags.
- The comfortable handle is sized to carry over any shoulder – male or female – even while wearing a bulky winter coat!
RuMe Bags are designed and packaged following a strict no-waste philosophy – there’s no superfluous pouch or packaging. Up to three RuMe Bags can be rolled and tied together for simple, compact carrying and storage. RuMe Bags are small enough to fit in a purse or glove compartment – the patent pending enclosure system enables three bags to roll up to about the size of your cup of coffee.
RuMe Bags are made from 180 denier polyester, with water-resistant coating; the innovative box stitch design offers a structured environment for loading goods, while maintaining a flexible space for over-sized, bulky items.
By incorporating RuMe Bags into our everyday lives, we can do our part in reducing the estimated:
• 17 billion gallons of oil used annually to produce plastic bags
• 100 billion plastic bags Americans throw away after a single use
• And save more than a million birds and 100,000 marine mammals and sea turtles that die every year from eating or getting entangled in plastic

Love these new colors… but when will you have the mini size, and/or the “Fall in New York” collection?

Finally reusable bags that are designed with men in mind! These colors and styles are super preppy. I love them!

these are amazing! I’ve been a huge fan of rume bags since you guys started selling them and have been using them as gifts for housewarming, birthdays you name it. They hold a ton and are super well made.

I just bought the mini rume bags for my kids for school lunches and stuff but hadn’t found a color I wanted for myself but I really like these patterns,

These bags are fantastic. I received them for Christmas, and really love the quality and design.

The reason I love these bags more than the other brands is the way they are constructed. They are like a grocery sack with the box-stitched bottom. I still carry my other bags with me but always pull out the RuMe bags at the check out counter because they hold so much more and when I put them in the back of my Van they stay upright so the groceries don’t spill all over the place by the time I get home! Just writing this out has made me realize I should just order another set and then, I’d have enough so I wouldn’t have to use the ones I don’t like. Besides, I’m sure I could find another use for them…not sure what but I’ll think of something!

Rume bags are incredibly useful! I use these bags every day. I’ve designated one bag as my gym bag, a mini bag as my lunch bag, and a couple of bags for groceries. I even use them to carry my library books. One of the coolest things is that you can throw them in the washing machine and hang-dry them. What can I say I’m a Rume lover!
