Look, we’re not saying yes buddy. can solve all of your worldly problems but it can make you look good, feel good and do good, and that’s impressive for a shopping bag don’t you think? yes buddy. makes foldable, reusable and really, really good-looking bags that are made out of rPET, which stands for recycled polyethylene terephthalate, but in laypeople’s terms it’s a polyester-like material that is made from post-consumer waste such as water bottles. rPET ultimately saves an incredible amount of plastic from landfill and once your buddy bag has run its course it’s also completely recyclable – it’s win win!

yes buddy. is available in a range of sizes including the small buddy for those ‘I’m just ducking in to get milk and chocolate’ trips as well as a big buddy, which is perfect for hauling groceries and miscellaneous market treasures and if one simply won’t do, there’s a handy bundle of buddys for $43. The buddy’s also feature an eye-catching array of prints including some that were created by Brisbane’s tinsel queen herself Rachel Burke as part of the brand’s artist series. The best part? The bags are machine washable so you can use them over and over again, which is kind of the point. Say yes to yes buddy. and check out the range online or from Queensland’s Elle’s Balcony Garden online.
