I have three of these tote bags and use them all for different things. The large bag is used as a carry-on when flying to stash all our magazines, tablet, books, etc. The medium bag is what I use to carry all my sales samples and the other medium bag is what I take to the grocery store. I can wash these bags when they get dirty and although they don't look exactly like they did when they were new, I like the fact that the canvas is a little more pliable. I would like to have an outside pocket for my keys and maybe a pocket on the inside for my cell phone. That being said, I LOVE these bags.
I have a large tote with zip-top and love it. The zip-top lays down flat if you wish not to zip it, giving it the same look as the tote bag, open top. I love having the option to zip the top or leave it open. Large is a perfect size for a carry-on on the plane. I typically carry my laptop, iPad, binder, and sometimes even throw my purse in there, and it all fits.
I absolutely love these totes! They are just right for so many purposes. I especially love them to welcome a new baby. My only two complaints are that the colors shown are almost never all available and the lack of pockets. A pocket on the front and three on each inside wall would make the tote perfect! Hope you are listening! It is also annoying because different size bags are offered in different colors. Still, the totes are durable, useful and they always look great. As a gift, they are very well received especially when monogramed.
This is the PERFECT beach bag for two adults! After reading through most of the reviews, I decided to order the large tote with long handles. I had a hard time deciding on whether to choose the regular or long handles but am glad that I chose the long handles, as they are the perfect length for carrying this bag over your shoulder so that you can be hands free. An outer zip pocket and inner pocket would be a great addition to this bag.
