Bayong is a traditional Filipino bag made initially by weaving dried Buri or Pandan leaves, making it eco-friendly because of its organic materials. Many Filipinos use bayong as their shopping bag in the early days, particularly when going to the wet market due to its durability and its carry all functionality. Even though its popularity has declined over the last decade, many provinces in the Philippines still use it in their daily grocery shopping.

To increase the popularity of the bayong again, inventive Filipinos had come up with the idea of giving the Bayong a new twist. Some of the latest designs come in different colors. They are made of recycled hard plastic strips, making them still environment friendly and stylish. This fashionable bayong can be used multiple times and a solid alternative to plastic shopping bags.
