I have purchased a large zip top for every child at birth to use for overnights with grandma when they are little, then sleepovers with friends as they grow up. I love these bags and they hold up so well. I have washed mine in the machine several times and they are still like the first day I used them. Happy shopping!!!!!
I have several totes in various sizes, colors, monograms. Ready to buy a new one zipped small to use as a purse. They just can't be beat. Just don't wash them in the machine -- totally my fault. Another user suggests to rinse outside and use brush. Will try the next time mine gets dirty. If you don't own one -- get one. I would suggest starting with the mid-size until you figure out the other 1000 things you can do with them then you can start your own collection.
I have now ordered five of these bags. After ordering one for my family to use as a library bag, I have ordered four more as gifts. I have the large bag which is huge, so if you are looking for a standard tote bag size, go with the medium. I have four kids and on our trip to the library this bag can get full of books, but this bag is so sturdy it can hold all of them. Just a fantastic product over all.
