I received these style of bags as a baby gift when my first child was born. I asked for more of them for my second. Now, they are my go-to baby gift or general present-- especially for families with multiple children. The embroidered names on the bags help me know whose stuff is in which bag, and color coding them by kid also lets me grab the right bag out of a stuffed trunk when on the road. The bags are a stiff canvas which stands up well on their own- no slumping. I have them in multiple sizes and use them daily for day trips or even just to transport things up and down the stairs. I do wish though that I could choose a different color thread from the handle color when ordering online. Love them!
I bought the ex large tote about 3 years ago and I have yet to come close to regretting it! I went with the ex large because I figured I could always use it no matter what... it can never be too big! I bought it in yellow which probably was not the smartest choice considering I use it all the time and the yellow tends to get dirty, but I throw it in the washing machine inside out with towels to clean it and it works really well. There is nothing you can not use these bags for whether you are going on a weekend trip, carrying groceries, or even using it as a dipper bag! I use my bag often for my dogs toys and such when traveling! I just ordered the Med bag in red for a school tote and I am sure it will be just as wonderful as the ex large one!!!
I have 2 of these so far, both zip top and both long handled! The medium one is perfect for a laptop & it's accessories. The large one is great to use as a weekend bag! These bags also make great wedding, birthday, pregnancy & holiday gifts! I would recommend these to everyone regardless of age or gender!! Definitely worth the money & very stylish!
I love the durability of this bag. I love how it zips closed. I love how it holds a ton of stuff.
I just wish there was either an outside pocket or an interior pocket with a zipper. Someplace to put my keys and my cell phone and maybe a lip balm. I spent too much time searching at the bottom of the bag for the small stuff that gets jumbled.
