ethically sourced bagsI'm trying to find a source for a small run (less than 1000) of ethically sourced wash bags for a client. Budget is tight so I need to look at getting them made abroad.I could also look at using an off the shelf bag - but am looking for something simple - not too multicoloured looking or overly patterned as most of them seem to be. Does anyone have any leads? Would be appreciated. Thanks. |

Of course it could be UK sourced but as I understand it the price might be an issue. Got a linky to something similar Maxwell? | ||

How much is your budget, per bag? | ||

Washbags seem to start around £15. 
Carrier type bags run to 60p each for a 1,000. So... How important is shape?

Have you tried contacting these people?
When we re-do our bags, this is where I'll suggest we get them from. |

£15 would be retail and including VAT - and even then it would have to be for a name. I've seen them about for just over a pound wholesale - but that would be for a nylon bag. Heck Muji even sells some for £2. But sourcing is important so am prepared to take that into account. |

Thanks Penny - they look like they have potential. |

Not looking for anything in particular. Should be simple though and with a zipper. Other than that as long as it looks smart. Perhaps something like this but out of an eco friendly fabric:

Not wash bags, but this business in Carmarthenshire make reusable shopping bags. Might be of interest to others coming to this thread subsequently.
