While in Germany briefly (two months), I saw these bags everywhere. I rarely, if ever, saw those cheap bags that the stores give away in the USA (or now sell for $.99). I rarely saw plastic bags either (but a few). These baskets (this brand) are ubiquitous. I thought about buying one for use in the US when I returned home, but figured I didn't have room in my luggage for luggage... and then regretted not listening to my desire to buy one when I could!
A few weeks after returning home, I found them on Amazon.com, and purchased one from "Touch of Europe."
This basket is about the same size as the grocery store hand-held basket, so when I go through the market I fill up this bag in the same way. The top handles easily swivel down flat, so you can place your purchases on the conveyor belt. Best part is coming home -- no more spilled over bags and rolling cans or smashed bread; this basket acts like a cardboard box; items sit perfectly without "adjusting" during the drive home. The bottom has 1/4" "feet" on it, so it won't sit in water or other spills when you get home and put it on the counter, or if something else has spilled wherever you place the basket; it stays clean. The basket is definitely of "German quality". Well designed, nice, and should last decades.
The only note is the "collapsible" part. It is indeed collapsible, but not worth collapsing unless you have to. The basket is canvas/cloth, and stays upright by four battens/flat pieces of plastic on the sides that slip in and out of the sewn in pockets to make it rigid. Easy enough to do, but it isn't a quick "pop up" or "pop down" collapse. It would take, oh, only about 45 seconds to insert the plastic, but.... why bother unless you had to.... Read more ›

This tote is gorgeous, sturdy, and shows superior craftsmanship. I will gladly pay 39.99 again for another bag of this quality. Did I mention that it looks great too?
I have several of the cheaper versions of the Reisenthel Carrybag and they are all junk compared to this tote!! By using this type of market tote to do my shopping I won't have to use paper nor plastic bags. Plus the handy zipper pocket can hold my valuables.
This tote finally answers one of my design questions with the cheaper knock-offs of this bag - how do you keep the "spines" in place. Well, this quality tote finally gave me the "ahh haa" moment as this bag has a unique way to keep the "spines" in place.
Go for quality and buy this tote! It is a keeper! By the way - the seller had super fast shipping and nice packaging...

This is the second one of these I have now purchased. I absolutely love them. They are about the size of the plastic basket at the grocery store. I like to bring it with me for smaller grocery trips. It's nice to shop using it and then you can bring your stuff back home in it. No plastic bags! I also have used it in the car or house just to carry stuff in.

I've owned the black Market Tote for several months now. It has shown no signs of wear and tear and seems so well-built that it will last for years. I think there are a few reviews of people who have owned them for years on Amazon. The basket, once assembled (minor, MINOR assembly) does not collapse all the way. The handle ONLY folds down. Yeah, you can take the supports out to collapse it fully, but I never saw a reason to. It sits off to the side when it not being used, holding all my other produce and over-the-shoulder bags.
The basket will hold a lot as well. As a small person (5'2" & 110lb), I do have to watch how many cans or bottles I place in the basket because I will have trouble carrying it. The basket, however, handles all the weight with no problem.

This was a great buy...I bought the baroque sand and love it. It is bigger than it looks online and great quality. Perfect for farmers market and picnics. I ordered it on a Monday and it arrived on Thursday. I paid for just standard shipping. I am so impressed I will continue to order for this company and recommend this product to all my friends!

I picked up this tote after seeing my best friend's. I'm not gonna lie...I got tote envy. We hit the local farmer's market every weekend (in season) and I've recently started a hand quilting project that's making the rounds with me. This tote has been a complete lifesaver! It breaks down easily and hides in my hatch when not in use. When I hit a store, or the market, I can pop it open and use to hold a TON of stuff. Plus it's really attractive - I always get comments on it.
It does a great job with non-shopping items as well. I carry craft projects, potluck items and even my 8 pound miniature schnauzer in it (love that it's so washable)!
This is one purchase I would make over and over again. This is one of the best investments I've made in a long time. These will definitely be appearing as Christmas gifts this year!

I use this basket while grocery shopping. It can hold a lot of items and is not at all flimsy like the regular reusable shopping bags. I don't ever fear the handle will break when it's loaded with heavy items after my shopping trips. And it can hold quite a bit of groceries as well. I'd definitely recommend the product!

Perfect
Nice and sturdy. Stackable. Feet on bottom let you put basket down on wet ground to open trunk etc.
Food doesn't get crushed and bags don't tip over on drive home.

use this bag a few times a week.
I love this open top bag. It is easy to pack and to carry!
Wish it were easier to colapse for storage, but getting used to having it open all the time.
