i ordered this as an extra xmas gift for myself! i love that it has a zipper and i plan to use it when i go shopping at the mall - it's perfect to hold a wallet and keys and even a few extras, but it won't weigh me down when i have packages to carry!
I originally purchased this tote as a temporary carrying case for my laptop. I wrapped my computer in a little bubble wrap and off we flew from Maine to Indiana. I have since purchased a laptop case, but still use the tote as a carry-on for all my traveling. Room for all essentials, some clothes plus the security of a zipper top!
We ordered with the zipper top which I highly recommend. We have the large in the former blue/yellow(would love those colors again)as our designated swim bag for summer. We also have the large zipper blue/lt.blue as our emergency supply holder for the truck. We keep a small first aid kit, blanket, and water that stays put because of the zip top. LOVE IT. The kids know what color bag has what in it! Highly recommend these tough totes.
I purchased my first mini tote two years ago. It was the snow flake version. I did all my Christmas shopping with it; it held my purse, cell phone, coupons, lists, toothbrush, floss and much more. After the holidays, I had to put it away for the next holiday season. This year, I got smart and ordered the madras plaid mini tote for summer and the rugby tote for fall. I frequently receive compliments from store employees. I love these mini totes and will continue to use them as my carry-all purse!
