Blue Q Bag-a-Palooza

I feel like one of those bloggers who's getting a payoff.
If only.
But I'm addicted to these Blue Q bags.
They're made from recycled materials, and can be used for anything, anything, or anything. Very chic to stash your stuff in when you go to Target, and you don't leave with any more of those cute red and white earth-killing bags.
This one's my favorite. And look at the pocket inside.





This one was designed by Louise Fili. I saw it on her website,
otherwise I wouldn't have known she did it.






Another Louise Fili design.




This one is mind boggling. It's called Flotsam and Jetsam, and Sara Paul from Blue Q kindly told me in her comment below that the artist is Colin Johnson. Check out the inside too.






This one's perfect for right now, out in the -25 degree weather.
Lets you laugh right in its face.






How fantastic is this?









Practice your French while dragging home les grocs.








And don't even get me started on the smaller size bags.
This one, again by Louise Fili, is all vintage soap labels.


There's that queen again...



ps You can get them in all sorts of places, google will tell you.

  1. Very cool! Blue Q is a really neat company - Doug knows the owner.
    I have the 'paint by numbers' bags that they make - and I love them. We are licensing Cartolina imagery for similar totes this year - if you're a good girl I'll send you one - I'll need proof though.

  2. These are fantastic! Is it super eco of me to want to have them all? Probably not but I do! They're just wonderful!

  3. Really like the bags!! There are so many cool ones, trying to figure out a way to buy one... tricky from here but my brother lives in New York City so maybe I will call in a favour.

  5. So glad you like them, all!
    Yes, use the "going green" rationale for the reason you must buy lots of them.

    Lots more at their website:

  7. P.S. The artist of that Flotsam and Jetsam is Colin Johnson - we saw his work on www.thumbtackpress.com and he said yes!

  8. A good friend of mine :) gave me a tote, two smaller bags, and a tiny one for I use for change. I just used the one that says "Sorry we're sorry" on one side and "Yes, we're broke" on the other for my poker winnings. Poker girls were VERY jealous!! Love them, love them, love them.
