Jute is quite possibly the least suitable fabric to make a "bag for life"!

Well, jute can be treated and woven in many different ways: years ago it
was even used for making firehoses. What particularly poor variety have
you come across, or do most of the supermarkets do a bad job of it?

It's paper bags I hate the most: if it's raining one's lucky to get a
hundred feet with them before they fall apart. Fortunately they're
uncommon.

Almost every supermarket has the total crap jute bags.

First thing I do is pop rivet the handles, or they'd pull off within a week.

If ever any supermarket gets any more durable fine weave fabric bags, the
lot are gone before I get any.
