Cool Totes

It did dye beautifully and if I'd reviewed it a few months ago I'd have given it five stars. I dyed it almost a year ago and it received light use--my choir bag to carry my choir folder and a water bottle each week to practice. However I just used it for a bookbag when we took vacation and the handles tore right off! Not a good thing when you're having to tote things onto an airplane. Maybe a little too much weight? I'd say if you're going to use this one use it for lighter things. Even so I also noticed a hole in the bottom after as I said light use (except the books). I certainly would not use it for groceries unless I wanted them all over the ground.

I like these better than the floppy gorilla bags they are easier to pack and my gorilla bags all developed holes with washing. Like another reviewer said almost all of the straps on my totes have ripped out so I would recommend re-enforcing them before you dye.

I silk screen with Louisiana market items (fish parsley okraeggplant crabs and shrimp) and sell at local markets - great sellers. And I keep some in my car for trips to the grocery.

I got the biggest bag and I wish it had longer handles. 22" or 24" would be perfect.

Love these! They dye wonderfully. My customers love them too!
