A self-supporting, rigid, and collapsible reusable bag made from flexible material and having a bottom, two first sidewalls, two second sidewalls, a top opening, and rigid insert. A rigid full-wall board is embedded in each of the two first sidewalls. A rigid insert comprised of at least one pair of sidewalls and bottom with substantially similar dimensions to the second sidewalls and bottom of the bag are placed in the interior and in frictional contact with the second sidewalls and bottom of the bag. The rigid insert sidewalls are held in place with securing devices located on the interior upper corners of the sidewalls of the bag. The bag can be collapsed by moving the rigid insert away from the second sidewalls and bottom to allow the second sidewalls to fold either inward or outward. A full-wall pocket is provided for each first sidewall to receive the full-wall board.

1. A reusable bag system comprising: a body of at least two totes;at least one tote being a top tote and at least one tote being a bottom tote;each tote individually having a closed bottom, two opposed and substantially identical first sidewalls and two opposed and substantially identical second sidewalls, the bottom being bound to each sidewall along a bottom edge, and the body defining an interior having a top opening;a hard full-wall board embedded in at least one of the two first sidewalls;a rigid removable insert for the bottom tote, wherein seated within the interior of the bottom tote and supported by at least one second sidewall and the bottom, comprised of at least one flap of similar shape and dimension to at least one second sidewall and a panel of similar shape and dimension to the bottom, which enables the bottom tote to be a rigid structure, wherein moving the rigid removable insert away from the second sidewall and bottom enables the bottom tote to be collapsed;a rigid removable insert for the top tote, wherein seated within the interior of the top tote and supported by at least one second sidewall and the bottom, comprised of at least one flap of similar shape and dimension to at least one second sidewall and a panel of similar shape and dimension to the bottom which enables the top tote to be a rigid structure, wherein seating the rigid removable insert in the interior of the top tote also enables the top tote to be stacked vertically in the interior of the bottom tote, wherein the top tote is partly suspended within the interior of the bottom tote at a predetermined height by frictional contact created when the exterior sidewalls of the top tote come in contact with the interior sidewalls of the bottom tote, wherein the frictional contact between the top and bottom totes is achieved by the dimensions of the bottom of the top tote being equal in dimension to an area between the top and bottom edges of the bottom tote, wherein moving the rigid removable insert away from the second sidewall and bottom enables the top tote to be collapsed. 2. The reusable bag system of claim 1 wherein the body is two totes. 3. The reusable bag system of claim 2 wherein the body is a top tote and a bottom tote. 4. The reusable bag system of claim 3 wherein each top and bottom tote has one set of two first sidewalls and one set of two second sidewalls that are affixed to a bottom and extend away from the bottom in substantially the same direction. 5. The reusable bag system of claim 4 wherein each first sidewall forms a full-wall pocket to receive one full-wall board. 6. The reusable bag system of claim 3 wherein each has a rectangular top edge in a substantially horizontal plane. 7. The reusable bag system of claim 3 wherein each sidewalls that are bound to adjacent sidewalls along a vertical edge and each sidewall is attached with respect to the bottom along a bottom edge whereby each tote has an integral body that can be erected or collapsed. 8. The reusable bag system of claim 3 wherein each further comprises a handle on at least one sidewall. 9. The reusable bag system of claim 3 wherein each has a rigid insert that can be removed from the interior of the tote body. 10. The reusable bag system of claim 3 wherein each has at least one means to secure the removable rigid insert on at least one sidewall of the interior of each tote. 11. The reusable bag system of claim 10 wherein the rigid removable insert seated in the interior of the body creates an erect structure. 12. The reusable bag system of claim 3 wherein each is stacked vertically and the top tote partially suspended within the interior of the bottom tote and said top tote is both a top and bottom tote and said bottom tote is both a top and bottom tote when in a stacked state and is both suspended in the interior of a bottom tote and receiving the bottom of a top tote. 13. A reusable bag system comprising: a body of two totes;a top tote and a bottom tote;each tote individually having a closed bottom, two opposed and substantially identical first sidewalls and two opposed and substantially identical second sidewalls, the bottom being bound to each sidewall along a bottom edge, and the body defining an interior having a top opening;each tote individually having a hard full-wall board embedded in each of the two first sidewalls;a rigid removable insert for the bottom tote, wherein seated within the interior of the bottom tote and supported by the two second sidewalls and the bottom, comprised of two flaps of similar shape and dimension of the two second sidewalls and a panel of similar shape and dimension of the bottom, which enables the bottom tote to be a rigid structure, wherein moving the rigid removable insert away from the two second sidewalls and bottom enables the bottom tote to be collapsed;a rigid removable insert for the top tote, wherein seated within the interior of the top tote and supported by the two second sidewalls and the bottom, comprised of two flaps of similar shape and dimension of the two second sidewalls and a panel of similar shape and dimension of the bottom, which enables the top tote to be a rigid structure, wherein seating the rigid removable insert in the interior of the top tote also enables the top tote to be stacked vertically in the interior of the bottom tote, wherein the top tote is partly suspended within the interior of the bottom tote at a predetermined height by frictional contact created when the exterior sidewalls of the top tote come in contact with the interior sidewalls of the bottom tote, wherein the frictional contact between the top and bottom totes is achieved by the dimensions of the bottom of the top tote being equal in dimension to an area between the top and bottom edges of the bottom tote, wherein moving the rigid removable insert away from the two sidewalls and the bottom of the top tote enables the top tote to be collapsed. 14. The reusable bag system of claim 13 wherein a full-wall board is embedded in each of the first sidewalls. 15. The reusable bag system of claim 13 wherein a rigid removable insert for the bottom tote has two flaps of similar shape and dimension of the two second sidewalls and a panel of similar shape and dimension of the bottom, the rigid removable insert when seated in the interior of the bottom tote enables the bottom tote to be a rigid structure, wherein moving the rigid removable insert away from the two second sidewalls and bottom enables the bottom tote to be collapsed. 16. The reusable bag system of claim 13 wherein a rigid removable insert for the top tote has two flaps of similar shape and dimension of the two second sidewalls and a panel of similar shape and dimension of the bottom; the rigid removable insert wherein seated in the interior of the top tote enables the top tote to be a rigid structure, wherein seating the rigid removable insert in the interior of the top tote also enables the top tote to be stacked vertically in the interior of the bottom tote, wherein the top tote is partly suspended within the interior of the bottom tote at a predetermined height by frictional contact created when the exterior sidewalls of the top tote come in contact with the interior sidewalls of the bottom tote, wherein the frictional contact between the top and bottom totes is achieved by the dimensions of the bottom of the top tote being equal in dimension to an area between the top and bottom edges of the bottom tote, wherein moving the rigid removable insert away from the two sidewalls and the bottom of the top tote enables the top tote to be collapsed.
