22" Open Top Heavy Duty Deluxe Tote Bag with Outer Pocket

These bags are soooo big! I bought them to make for family coming to Vegas. Great for toting things to the pool, or a change of clothes. Very sturdy canvas. Had a great time decorating them!

I purchased three of these bags in purple, mint green, and light pink. I was extremely pleased with the quality, color, durability, and size of the bags. These were their favorite colors so I was very happy that they were the same shades as advertised in the listing. The size and material was perfect for my co-teachers, as they often have to carry materials back and forth from school, so I wanted the bags to be a thicker material so they would last. The off-white color was perfect as I wanted something in that color tone so my students could put their handprints on the bags with fabric paint, and show up against the bag. It turned out adorable, and my teachers were so excited to have such a nice bag that would be practical, was large enough for books and a computer, while helping them to remember our students in a very memorable year for teaching. The bags were large enough for all the handprints to fit, which was extremely important to me. I prewashed the bags and had the children paint their hands with a paintbrush using Tulip Fabric Paint, then helped them put their handprint on the bags. The paint adhered beautifully to the bags, dried quickly, and helped me give them a one of a kind gift for all their hard work this year. I look forward to ordering more next year! If you are on the fence about these, definitely get them, as the size is great, they can hold a lot, they are made from quality materials, the handles are comfortable on your shoulder, and are a nice length.

This is a GREAT tote bag! I needed something for lugging all of my “stuff” back and forth from work- (which is somehow always a lot- shoes, lunch, an extra sweater, etc...) and I had been looking at a beautiful, much more expensive Laurel Birch tote bag. It was really beautiful, but I just wasn’t sure about spending so much, and it wasn’t even really as large as I needed, so I looked around and ended up finding this one. The price was amazing, and although a bit plain looking, I bought it.It’s actually a nice looking bag. It looks well made and not “cheap looking”, probably because it IS well made. It’s also very soft & flexible, and not stiff and tough like some canvas tote bags are. The handles are the perfect length and allow me to either comfortably carry it over my shoulder, or by hand. It holds a lot- I can easily fit all of my “work stuff” in it, and the handles are sewn in well and are strong, so I don’t have to worry about them tearing from the weight of the stuff inside.I love this bag so much, that I also ordered the next size up- the grocery bag. I highly recommend.

While these are not the sturdy LL Bean bag which will almost stand up on its own, I didn't pay $80 plus for the bag either. This bag is a soft canvas bag with long-enough handles for my to place a filled bag on my shoulder. The canvas is a thin canvas (again, not as thick as LL Bean) but I've thrown canned goods in the bag with no tears - so I gave 5 stars for durability. The bag has easily gotten dirty and I've tried to wipe the dirt off with a damp cloth to no avail. I'm afraid to put the bag in the wash because I don't want the color on the handle to fade onto the canvas. Therefore, I gave this 4 stars in easy to clean. If I had thought before hand and sprayed the bag with a Scotch-guard life substance, then I would have an easier time in cleaning - or at least I hope. Overall, I'm extremely happy with the bag; so much so, that I've purchased 4 of them.

Love it! Great extra large size! Great for groceries. Made of sturdy canvas

I looked at a lot of bags; I actually needed an extra-large bag that I could use for beach yoga. I needed something big enough to accommodate the large beach blanket as well as the mat and a smallish bag for my “stuff” and a drink. This was actually one of two that I bought and the other one actually works better than this one, but I AM KEEPING IT because it is such a great value for an oversized bag like this. It is actually structured and stands up on it’s own (which the other one does NOT) There is an inside zip and a zip top and a side pocket for phone. I highly recommend this bag. I didn’t give it 5 stars for cleaning because it only comes in WHITE canvas with colored trim. so if I try to bleach it I know the color will run. I am not sure it will wash up great. But at this price, when it gets too grubby, I will take it to good will and it will serve a great purpose for someone else who needs to carry a LOT OF STUFF>

I bought this as a replacement for a sturdy and reliable canvas bag (that looks exactly like this in style and construction)However, the accent color on the old bag was also canvas as opposed to this thin cotton. This bag is more capacious but I question how long it will hold up to being filled with cans or heavy sacks of flour or rice. I'm open to being proven wrong since this was pretty inexpensive but I'm still skeptical

UPDATE: We have had these a while now, just under a year -- and they get used every day for hauling mail to the post office and back. We use stiff, pointy-sharp mailers that are heavy (some of what we ship are books). These bags HOLD UP like champs. Thesy still look almost brand new after a year of heavy use. I just bought four more -- because my business is growing, so we need more totes -- we're not replacing, just adding to our "fleet" of bags. I have occasionally had to wash one or two, and they also do great in the washing machine.*****I purchased a few of these to get packages to the post office -- I ship a few hundred packages a week, and these bags hold a lot of flat and bubble wrap mailers. They're very sturdy, so even when the bags get heavy, they get the work done. I have already ordered two more. They're plain -- but they're a very good quality and are standing up to some heavy lifting.
