Of course it’s great for popping into the supermarket trolley for a ‘plastic-bag-free’ grocery trip; the strong handles make light work of transferring the weekly shop from trolley to car and into the house, the aluminium sides keeping everything safely inside and the tear-proof fabric withstanding all manner of knocks and scrapes.
But it’s when the shopping’s packed away that Shopping Box really comes into its own. It would be a shame to hide its good looks away, and its 40l capacity is just crying out to be used more than once a week – we’ve used ours for a laundry basket, extra packing space for a weekend away, a toy box, somewhere to stow out of season clothes, and it has safely transported children’s projects to school on many occasions!
And if you ever find yourself without a job for the Shopping Box to do, it folds flat to be tucked in to a handy corner – but it’s so useful, it won’t be tucked away for long.
The Reisenthel Shopping Box is priced £22 and is available at www.for-keeps.co.uk along with many more brilliant storage and luggage idea
