CLOSED-Chicobag Review & Giveaway: An Eco-Friendly Yet Fashion Foward Choice for a Reusable Disney Shopping Bag



I am so excited to tell you about my new giveaway, I can hardly stand it!  I recently had the opportunity to try out and review Chicobag's Daypack15 RePETe Reusable Bag.  The Daypack15 Reusable Bag  is "designed for the fashion conscious, Eco-friendly traveler or commuter" making it perfect to carry along for a day of park-hopping or shopping at Downtown Disney!

Chicobag has combined two of my favorite subjects with this one : "Fashion and Eco-Friendliness".  The Daypack15 Reusable Bag is a more feminine spin on Chicobag's popular Daypack20 style which is larger and less girly.  The Daypack15 was "designed for a more feminine lifestyle" is available in 4 attractive colors.   The DayPack15 rePETe is an advanced, ultra-lightweight backpack made of durable, recycled PET ripstop fabric.  This ultra stylish Reusable Bag has two adjustable straps, allowing it to be carried as a tote bag or worn as a backpack.  There are also stretchy Lycra pockets on either side, perfect for water bottles.  (Or lots of Disney Parks loot)

  

Like all ChicoBag brand rePETe Reusable Bags, the DayPack15 rePETe™ is made of recycled content. This industry-leading DayPack is produced of 95% recycled content and lists the recycled materials used in production on the backside of the pouch.

Besides the Eco-friendliness of this product, the best thing about the DayPack15 is the fact that it folds into a self-contained pouch for easy storage!  Just shove it into your suitcase when traveling, or toss it into your purse or under your stroller when headed out for a day at Disney parks.

Although the Chicobag DayPack15 is virtually weightless, I found its durability to be unmatched!  While flying down to Disney last month, I used the Daypack15 Reusable Bag as my extra carry-on, filling it with a laptop, camera, Ipad, Nintendo DS, and various electrical plugs...Yes, you heard me correctly!  And the Chicobag Daypack15 held up perfectly.

When we arrived at Disney, I emptied the electronics, rolled up the Daypack15 into its integrated pouch, and carried it with me to the parks.  It took up no room in the bottom of our stroller, and was so convenient to pull out and fill with purchases we made at the parks!  It felt fantastic to be Eco-conscious while enjoying the Disney shops and the difference was evident.  I usually have dozens of plastic Disney shopping bags at the end of each day, but not this time!  I was amazed at the difference I could make each day by turning down a bag in each store I visited!



I LOVE Chicobag products and I intend to "grow" my collection!  It feels GREAT to be Eco-conscious and fashion forward at the same time!  You can check out the complete line here.
