Although I thought that I had enough reusable bags, it's true that I don't have any market bags hand painted with French messages — and what could be more eco chic [1] than French market bags? The Visez Vert Market Bag [2] ($18) asks you to "aim green," and is illustrated with the Eiffel Tower and scrolls.

This generously-sized bag (14 inches tall) is excellent for small grocery loads or for trips to the drugstore for medicine cabinet essentials. And if you get it stained, no worries — the art is permanent, so you can wash it as much as is necessary.
