Feb 19, 2008 – Hero Bags, introduces a modern new line of American made reusable totes and shopping bags made out of recycled materials.
Susanne Maddux, Founder & Designer of Hero Bags, set a goal to create the most eco-friendly, fair labor, reusable shopping bags & totes on the market. Hero Bags fulfills the promise of a truly ethical product and with Earth Day right around the corner, the timing of the launch is perfect.
“The market is saturated with cheap bags from China and I saw an opportunity to take the high road and really differentiate Hero Bags by using recycled materials and fair labor manufacturing in the new line of eco-conscious totes and shopping bags.” says Maddux.
Hero Bags are made out of 100% recycled cotton fabric composed of 80% new cotton excess from clothes manufacturing and 20% recycled plastic bottles. Recycled cotton is the ideal material for reusable shopping bags with the look and feel of canvas and the added durability of plastic. Hero bags are incredibly sturdy and long lasting. Customers love the Hero Bags brand and colors including a 100% canvas tote in dark chocolate brown with the powerful Winged “H” Hero Bags logo in bright green.
The Hero Bags line includes a large sized reusable shopping tote as well as a medium sized long handled tote bag that doubles as a book bag. The ‘Mini Hero’ is a great eco-friendly product for kids. It fits a water bottle & snacks perfectly and works well as a non-toxic lunch tote for kids or stroller bag for Mom.
“I’m really proud of our new line of Hero Bags”, says Maddux. “Customers are excited about the Hero Bag brand and knowing the materials are safe and American made under fair labor conditions. I’ve been getting thank you letters & emails! It’s really touching and motivating to create an ethical well-made product out of sustainable materials. Hero Bags are really connecting with the green consumer."
