I purchased both the navy for me and the pink for a friend. Both bags were beautiful and durable. The construction is of quality canvas just like the regular line of boat totes with the madras plaid fabric sewn to the outside. Just the right size for having in the car to carry a few groceries or items from running errands. Handles feel good in your hand even when full. I love this great bag!
I love my new madras tote. I wanted to buy is for some time but was putting it off. The quality is great and the monogramming was nice. I've already used it on one trip and planning on using it as my carry on with my next. I wish they could do one with the handles a bit longer. But I love it the way it is now. Would recommend it to any 30 something for any type of use.
I bought this in navy with a monogram and I like it very much. The canvas feels a bit lighter than the regular boat and totes, but I consider that a plus because I prefer the handles to be less stiff. It looks great and feels summery. Love it.
