The Boat and Tote Bag was everything and more. I use it for my knitting or when we travel to hold things in the car I want quick access to. I highly recommend this item. I plan on buying another one.
This bag is great! I am using it as a "wedding planning bag." The only thing I wish was different was the monogram thread - I ordered the lime green bag with a monogram & the greens aren't the same color, but it's not that noticeable. A great purchase at a great price!!
I picked up this bag for my mother in law who always travels to the beach or park for picnics and day trips with her husband. They take food, drinks, blankets, books, hats, shoes, and many other items when they go.
I purchased it in the XL and when it arrived it was WAY TOO BIG! I could have fit my two toddlers in it. Customer service exchanged it promptly with a large which I found to be a good size. For myself I might have considered the Medium even for day trips but I tend to pack lighter than most. Large is quite enough for most day trips, or even as a weekend bag for clothes and such.
All around great item. (p.s. purchased the soft pac liner as well, and was satisfied with it)
I got the small, long handle tote for my book club ladies. Everyone was sooo excited. The bag is well made and sturdy. The only complaint I have is that the monogram color didn't match the tote color. I got the lime color...and it isn't really lime in real life. It is more of a spring green. But the monogram is more like lime. It doesn't match and doesn't look too great. But, you can't return monogrammed items so we are stuck.
