Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a market bag and a tote bag?
Our market bags are designed to carry a full shop comfortably. Most models include premium leather handles, wipe-clean laminated lining, and brass feet for added protection. They are built for strength and longevity, making them ideal for heavy-duty grocery or retail use.
Our tote bags are lighter and more versatile. Usually made from cotton, canvas, denim, or jute with standard fabric handles, they are designed as everyday carriers, promotional bags, or eco-friendly gift packaging.
Are WBC's market bags machine washable?
No, our market bags are not designed for machine washing because they are primarily made of jute. However, the laminated lining can be wiped clean with a damp cloth to keep the bag in good condition between uses.
Are WBC's reusable shopping bags reinforced to handle heavy grocery loads?
Our market bags are built specifically for retail use and are designed to carry heavy loads comfortably. Featuring strong and sturdy leather handles, most models benefit from brass feet on the base to protect the fabric from rubbing directly against the ground, effectively reducing wear and tear.
What is a juco market bag?
A Juco bag is crafted from a high-quality blend, typically 75% jute and 25% cotton. This hybrid fabric combines the natural texture and strength of jute with the softness of cotton. Because of its smoother finish, Juco allows for more detailed printing compared to standard jute, making it an excellent choice for retailers who want a premium reusable bag that balances comfort and practicality.
Are the dyes used on WBC's luxury shopping bags eco-friendly?
Our jute market bags use AZO-free inks and dyes, and are made from sustainably sourced natural materials. This ensures that no harmful or toxic chemicals are used during the colouring process. If you need confirmation on a specific material or colourway in the range, please get in touch. Our team will be happy to provide the details you need before you place your order.
Can these market bags be personalised with a company logo?
Yes, our market bags can be personalised with a logo or message with a fast turnaround of just 10 working days. That makes them a high-impact, professional option for branded retail packaging, corporate gifts, or event giveaways. Minimum order quantities apply, so we recommend you get in touch with our team to discuss your requirements.
