I've used multiple reusable bags, and this one solves so many problems! The handle is short enough that the bag doesn't drag on the ground, but long enough to fit over a shoulder while wearing a parka! The zipper close is a huge win, and the materials are top-notch! I was even offered a "no logo" option, which is *chefs kiss*
It is packable and can be closed with a zipper so nothing will fall out or can be grabbed too easily.
Main downside for me is that it is too small and quite expensive. You can get similar bags for much less money which are larger (but then not closable).
I’m very impressed with the quality And how light the material is I do wish it would fold up a little bit smaller, but I understand the material is quality and I don’t have too worry about it Ripping or tearing
Bought one for a trip last fall and liked it so much I bought 2 more and sent one to my sister. It works as a purse and a shopping bag. Best packable bag ever!
A perfect little bag. I have always one of those in my everyday bag. To go at the market or for a little picnic with friend is very practical bag. I recommend
I bought this tote in Sage a few weeks ago for running errands and light shopping. I’m petite so the short shoulder strap doesn’t bother me too much as others have mentioned (although I agree that adjustable strap would be better). The main bummer for me is that the material is prone to stains— mine already has quite a few blotches that looks like something oil based and could even be from coming in contact with my hand lotion. I don’t know but I can’t seem to remove them with soap and water.
This has become my everyday bag, and I wound up buying all three colors. One has basic gym stuff in it, and one is an actual extra bag. I love that it has a zipper, and the non-slip handle is perfection, especially on top of my slippery raincoat fabric. The size and handle drop length have been perfect for my 5’4” height. I’d love a basic backpack in the same material since I find the current backpacks’ fabric abrasive. (Also, considering women typically have shorter torsos and have breasts, give us 16” backpacks, s straps, and sternum strap.)
Quite the hidden find, the packable tote has become one of my favorite items that I own. I use it as a reusable bag for groceries, a beach bag, and a to-go bag when I’m traveling, exploring new cities, and craft fairs. The material is extremely lightweight but seems quite durable, and I really appreciate the lifetime warranty if there are any unexpected flaws. I love the color options as well - I have a dark one and a sage one.
