This bag is not canvas, so the durability for use in carrying groceries is questionable. It does fold up small which is a plus. I do not intend to use it for carrying groceries as I do not trust it for that purpose. It might be okay for light weight items like chips or produce. I found myself using this bag to carry items to and from the gym. It is worth the price.
I love these bags *because* they aren't like my bulky canvas ones. They Fold up much much much smaller & can carry much more stuff than I thought they could.

Definitely not heavy canvas. It's more like a thin cotton or linnen. It's fine for groceries and things like that. Good alternative to plastic.

I really appreciate the Fair-Trade business practice and the idea of minimizing the use of plastic bags, so this purchase was a win on both sides. The bag is not as thick as I expected (another reviewer said the same)so hold the word canvas as you usually understand it very lightly. The upside is its highly compactable nature--it folds very flat so you hardly know its with you and weighs very little. Long handles are a plus. My only concern is the longevity/durability of the fabric. Just don't carry crampons around in it.

Just wanted to clarify that the fabric is not canvas. Still great for groceries & general "stuff". I like it a bit better than all my bulky canvas ones.
