Have at least 5 different LLBean bags and they are constantly in use for one thing or another. This new madras just reminded me of high school and I bought it for the CAUSE Cause I wanted it, cause it was there, cause I could. You get the idea.
Although I had to return for a different tote - needed a zippered top - the pattern was different from their other tote bags. I liked having a choice. Still had the same quality of work. I have a large original tote. Love it.
I bought this tote as a baby shower gift, thinking it would be perfect for a weekend at grandmas or a diaper bag. The mom picked madras for a theme for the nursery and I feel like she will love the pattern. I may have to buy another one for my son!! :)
