I don't know why I waited so long to buy this tote! It is such a great and sturdy bag. I use as my work tote- I bought the medium size with long handles and it fits a lot of stuff! I am going to buy another one soon! The only negative aspect is that it can not be put in the washer- but I've had this bag for 2 months now and use it every day and I don't see any wear yet.
I will be using this a my teacher bag for this school year because it's cute AND durable. Plus, it stands up on its own. I don't have to worry about it toppling over with all my things inside. The downside is there are no small pockets inside.
I bought a medium sized tote for school last season and it has stood up to every single one of my expectations. It will never ever break, rip, etc. My family is a huge fan of Beans and we all have many of these totes, and to this day, they are all still good as new.
I have purchased these totes over the years in various sizes for myself and as gifts. They are wonderfully strong and durable and they wash well! I especially like to order the custom colored ones to reflect my personality! Give a gift certificate to someone so they can design their own!
