We just love how the Prehistoric Land illustrations all over the bag match so well with Charlie’s many dino toys!

While these recycled bags are most commonly used for home storage, many of you also use it as travel bags for family holidays and camping trips. With sturdy nylon handles, they’re excellent for moving house as well.

One of the favourite things that we’ve come across is Carla’s decade-old collection of our jumbo bags filled with family memorabilia.
“They’re filled with kids’ artwork / school work and baby clothes mainly. I’ve used them as memory bags… the standard memory box can’t cope with my mum hoarding!”
