DALIX22" Shopping Tote Bag in Heavy Cotton Canvas (Special Pattern Edition)

Love this tote!! Its the perfect large-medium size tote! Big enough to have a standard pillow or 2 (if not super fluffy) crammed into it volume wise with some space left for a little bit more. Could easily pack 4-5 beach towels inside it and have room for other stuff like large bottle of suntan lotion and other things and still zip up; but it is small enough to not look too big if being used as a reusable shopping bag. The material is soft canvas (not t shirt soft, but canvas soft, it has about same feel as canvas tennis shoes like keds) with some weight to it...though not super thick or what I would call heavy duty material...its not super thin either, definitely thicker than a thick cotton t shirt but not by much. It will easily last a long time carrying light bulky stuff, and even should last fairly long carrying half capacity heavy stuff, but no way should you expect years worth of carrying 3-7 full 2liter soda bottles all the time (which it could probably do for a while before breaking, but I'm not putting it through that kind of use to be able to accurately say how long it could last doing that, would definitely last longer and carry more than any plastic shopping bag from a store). The zipper being a bit hidden at the top (2 flaps of material that allows for a bulky thick pack and leave room to still zip up) means its a little awkward to open when its empty since you kinda have to reach down in bag a little to get to it. The zipper zips easily in both directions and seems like a good quality medium duty/size zipper and teeth. I love the soft neutral white grey and yellow/beige/light khaki of the tote with just the tiny pop of bright neon/hot pink flamingo stamped only on the white grey areas. Fun enough for the beach, but stylish enough for using as a tote for educators and nonbusiness work environments (like it is still a bit too fun and too canvas looking for say a wall street investor to use instead of a regular briefcase especially when clients might see it). The inside of the tote is just the other side of the outside canvas, no separate lining inside, and no pockets inside. The only pocket it has is the outside front open pocket, which I can put my entire hand inside with fingers straight and spread apart and it goes over past my wrist a few inches...my fingers are short n stubby just so you know, and pinky n thumb touch the sides when fingers fully spread apart. There is no cardboard sewn in bottom or sides to make it able to stand up on its own, the bottom is sewn so that when stuff is inside it has a flat bottom and the chance to sit upright if the contents allow it. It can easily fit 3 ring binders inside it in any direction you want to put them, two to three 3 inch 3 ring binders full of stuff can fit inside with some room to spare on top and sides (like 1-2 water bottles of volume on top and both sides). I got this tote to carry 1 dex protection 12 card page size binder for my magic the gathering cards and plenty of room to spare to easily fit in playmat(s), deck boxes, dice boxes, and snacks for any tournaments. Could easily use a camera insert bag to keep deck boxes from flying around bag and randomly opening. A completely full double sleeved 12 card a page, 480 card holding binder is very heavy, and this tote easily holds it. In fact it could hold 3-4 of them easily and still have plenty of room for deck boxes and playmats, snacks. A 930 count BCW card storage box can fit inside horizontally and can almost fit in vertically (an 800 card box could fit in vertically and zipper zip up) , this bag could fit inside it 1 binder and 2-3 930 card boxes at same time and still have a little bit of room for other stuff, though the weight would be very heavy like 3-4 2liter sodas, so the bit over 1 inch handles that are not padded would be strained. I plan to use it with just 1 binder, and 2-3 deck boxes, 1 playmat, and maybe sometimes a 400-500 card storage box, which should be medium heavy use 1-2 times a week, so it should last a while. I will update in future after a few uses as to how it is holding up.

Update - have used this constantly and abused it with excessively heavy loads (2 large gallons of water plus 2 liters of soda all at once, etc.) and still in great shape, all stitches tight and secure, no rips, no tears. This is a nice medium thick canvas (about 3-4x the thickness and much stiffer than typical tshirt fabric, despite what others have said lol), made of good quality cotton and with good craftmanship. I have Trader Joe bags made of similar canvas that have lasted over 14 years and are still going strong so I expect this bag will last too - probably longer than I will, lol.Original review - Highly recommended. Good quality, solid grocery sack that should last. I can get good quality at Trader Joes for less money, but I wanted some sturdy, washable and attractive bags without the TJ logo and these are great - even better than the TJ bags in some ways as these are much larger, have zip tops and reinforced bottoms. These have everything necessary for a great grocery bag - made of thick cotton canvas, double stitched, with wide handles that run down the body of the bag which are also double-stitched. For those who do not know, the best grocery bags have wide handles that run the entire length of the bag, under it and up the other side, or into a reinforced bottom like on this bag, double-stitched the entire way as that design is optimal to distribute and handle heavy loads on a constant basis. Thick cotton canvas is the ideal material as it stands up to rough use, is machine washable and can handle heavy loads repeatedly, plus being 100% biodegradeable, non-polluting and a great ecological choice. Plus the designs are attractive and the price is decent.

This bag is so cool. I take it on trips. It holds my clothes for a 4 day weekend.

I love this bag…I use it to transport my therapy materials from house to house. I can fit a lot in it and it’s easy to clean!

Big used it also has the diaper bag travel bag very durable handles were sustainable no r tears . Only complaint I wish you had more inside compartments and it has a zipper on top .

Nice sturdy bag. Very large and spacious inside. Cute too

I love the size of this beach bag. Fits multiple large beach towels and more. It does have an outer pocket which is great for smaller items such as keys and cell phone. It is quite sturdy and well made. It is not waterproof. I do wish it had an inner pocket/small compartment. But otherwise great beach bag!

OmG! This tote bag is EXACTLY what I was expecting!!! Seriously, it’s exactly as the pictures from the product! I really LOVE when I buy something from Amazon and I get the item well packaged, clean, sealed and exactly as advertised.I didn’t use it yet but planning on taking it with me as a carry on. It will hold some personal items to be close to me on the plane, it has a zipper and an outside pocket big enough to hold my documents (like passport and such) on the go instead of having to hold them with one of my hands (the documents).The material seems to be strong enough (I will update my review and let you know in case they break or something, but I doubt it - and hope not).As you can see, from my pictures, I got the flamingos printing. Isn’t it adorable? In my opinion, the prettiest one!I am SUPER happy with this purchase, will buy it again and recommend it!!!(The item came very well packaged, clean and sealed. It’s for sure brand new and ready to use!)

Size is great

Exactly as described. Great size for anything. I use this tote a lot. Looks good too.
