Hirta Recycled Foldaway Shopping Tote Bag

Meet Your Everyday Essential – Custom Foldaway Totes

Lightweight, practical, and purpose-driven, the Hirta rPET Foldaway Tote is your new go-to for sustainable shopping and on-the-go convenience. Thoughtfully designed to support a greener lifestyle, this best-selling tote is made from recycled polyester (rPET) — a material derived from post-consumer plastic bottles that helps reduce waste and minimise environmental impact.

Sleek in both form and function, the Hirta Tote features integrated double handles for comfortable carrying, and a clever foldaway design that allows the entire bag to pack down neatly into a self-contained pouch. Whether you’re slipping it into a handbag, stashing it in your backpack, or attaching it to your keys, the compact built-in clasp ensures your tote stays secure, easy to locate, and always ready for action.

Despite its feather-light weight of just 26.45 g, this tote is generously sized at 616 mm x 388 mm, offering ample space for groceries, daily essentials, or unexpected finds. It’s the ideal reusable companion for farmers’ markets, quick errands, or travel adventures — and with its nature-inspired colour palette, it’s as stylish as it is sustainable.

A small natural-fibre sticker sewn onto each bag adds an authentic touch, reinforcing the product’s environmentally conscious mission. Every detail of the Santorini Tote is designed to make sustainability second nature — simple, stylish, and smart.

It’s ideal for short runs, personalised designs, or artwork that includes multiple colours and fine detail. Inkjet printing works best on flat surfaces and products designed to absorb or hold ink evenly.
