The best 'bag for life' is no bag for life. However, there will always be those that need to buy them because they didn't plan in advance and they don't care about the minor expense for them.
From the experience in the UK, this has worked out really well, you no longer see trees with bags blown into them. We just need a deposit scheme for single use plastic food and beverage containers, plus vapes, then we will have a much more pleasant environment.
I haven't paid for a bag in years as I take a rucksack to carry my shopping but I am glad there is the option to buy a 'bag for life' even if I know I will use it once and then stuff it in a cupboard.
The longevity of these bags is a moot point and the argument about cotton tote bags is irrelevant particularly when most shopping has so much plastic packaging.
Actually, just remembered that I have bought a bag for life - a jute bag that I bought specifically for storing vegetables in. It just keeps them good.
