The bag is really cute and very sturdy. The only thing I did not care for is that it was so stiff but if you need a stury, rugged bag this will be it. It does stand up for packing which is really great. They said it would soften with use.
I bought this boat and tote bag to replace one that was given to me in 2000. I am a teacher and use the bag heavily every day. I had to replace the old one because it looked dirty and that is my only regret about these bags. I know they come in various colors, but the signature color is hard to keep clean! Other similar tote bags have gotten holes and worn handles with far less use than the one I just replaced. I love the quality!
I purchased the medium size tote, in lime green, with long handles and I love it! The size is just right for a pair of tennis shoes with room to spare. The long handles are long enough to hook onto your shoulder making it easier to carry the tote.
I received this bag 2 months ago and I love it. It is perfect for crafts, travel, day trips - you name it, this bag fits the bill. It is super sturdy and I love that I can pack it and it doesn't fold in on itself - easy to see what's packed and what's missing.
