Reusable shopping bag

Abstract

A reusable shopping bag preferably may include a base and a sidewall having a lower continuous perimeter and an upper continuous perimeter, and the lower perimeter may be coupled to the base to form an interior cavity. A first sleeve may be coupled to a first exterior surface of the sidewall to form a first rack channel between the first sleeve and first exterior surface, and a second sleeve may be coupled to a second exterior surface of the sidewall to form a second rack channel between the second sleeve and second exterior surface. A drawstring may be coupled to the sidewall proximate to the upper perimeter, the drawstring configured to govern the size of the upper perimeter.

         10 . The bag of  claim 9 , wherein the base comprises a rectangular shape, and wherein the base, first panel, second panel, third panel, and fourth panel are coupled together to form a rectangular prism shaped interior cavity. 
     
     
         11 . The bag of  claim 1 , wherein the first sleeve is coupled to the sidewall so that the first sleeve is positioned between the drawstring and the lower perimeter, and wherein the second sleeve is coupled to the sidewall so that the second sleeve is positioned between the drawstring and the lower perimeter. 
     
     
         12 . A reusable shopping bag, the bag comprising:
 a base;   a sidewall having a lower continuous perimeter and an upper continuous perimeter, wherein the lower perimeter is coupled to the base to form an interior cavity;   a first sleeve coupled to a first exterior surface of the sidewall to form a first rack channel between the first sleeve and first exterior surface, wherein the first sleeve is coupled to the sidewall so that the first sleeve is positioned between the drawstring and the lower perimeter;   a second sleeve coupled to a second exterior surface of the sidewall to form a second rack channel between the second sleeve and second exterior surface, wherein the second sleeve is coupled to the sidewall so that the second sleeve is positioned between the drawstring and the lower perimeter; and   a drawstring coupled to the sidewall proximate to the upper perimeter, the drawstring configured to govern the size of the upper perimeter, wherein drawstring is disposed within a drawstring channel, wherein the drawstring is accessible via a first drawstring aperture, and wherein the first drawstring aperture is substantially equidistant to the first sleeve and the second sleeve.   
     
     
         13 . The bag of  claim 12 , further comprising a cord lock coupled to the drawstring.
