I have been teaching for 30 years and have always used these bags as my "school bags". I just purchased my sixth and final bag. After about 6 years of constant use the handles start to fray, but they can still be used for any number of things around the house. Glad for additional colors.
I just received the bag today, right on time and exactly how i wanted it. Looks just like it did while ordering - the color and monogram (i love how they show you how the monogram will look). I ordered the medium size zip top with long handles. Perfect for books and a few extras to carry with you for your day. Very sturdy and sits very comfortable on my shoulders. Another plus is that the bag stands up and doesnt fall over AND you can lay zippers down into the bag if you dont want to use them.
Big enough to take a boatload of towels and bathing suits any time you're near the water. Strong enough to withstand years of hard use on the rocky shores of New England.
I made a mistake ordering the large bag. It looks huge because it is so stiff. The fabric in my mind could be softer and pliable. Very unhappy with purchase but it would be too expensive to return.
