Gemline Red Zippered Tote Bag with 600-D Polyester Fabric, 29.5-Inch Shoulder Straps, Zippered Compartment, Front Pocket with Pen Loop, and Side Mesh Pockets

I'm a musician with musician children. We are always carrying music, book, and accessories around, but different music is needed for different venues - one set of stuff for youth orchestra, one set for my professional orchestra, one set for school band, one set for my college teaching gig, etc. I got tired of either A) carrying everything with me all the time, or B) transferring one pile of stuff into the tote bag, then take it out, look for the other pile needed for the next gig, etc. I finally came up with the idea to get multiple tote bags of different colors. One bag is for kids' youth orchestra, one bag is for school music, one bag is for my pro orch. This has made life SO much easier as I just keep what I need in that bag then grab the one I need and go. The mesh pockets can hold a water bottle or travel mug. The front pocket can give easy access to a cell phone or keys. I like the little hook on the front pocket as well as I keep my keys on a carabiner keychain that I just clip onto the hook. The inside pocket is roomy and can hold all my music and folders, even oversized orchestra folios. The height and width are great. However, it is fairly narrow in depth which is an advantage for me - totes that have a bottom that is too roomy allow loose papers to slide down into a U-shaped mess at the bottom. This tote is narrow and keeps loose papers upright and straight. I could fit a slim laptop or tablet in it if needed, but haven't had a reason to do so. The zipper provides some extra protection in case of rain, but I doubt it's entirely waterproof. The fabric seems very sturdy and I imagine I'll be using these for years to come. I bought three and may very well buy three more.

The bag is pretty sturdy, and can be easily wiped off.The zipper works great, no snags or signs of breaking.The size is good, I just wish it was a little larger all the way around to.fit a laptop. I can fit my laptop now but its snug.I still liked the bag enough to get one in every color.I work in the medical field and this bag fits all my stuff (minus the laptop) for work.I'm happy with my purchase and would buy again if needed.

This bag was what I was looking for. I use it everyday. It is sturdy and durable. I easily use iron on to personalize it. Everyone at work loves and wants one. The only downside it does not have any pockets in the inside, everything seems to go to the bottom, but the bag itself is big in size. I will be ordering more!

Perfect! Used them for tools and ditched hard cases.The outside pockets hold attachments, blades, and manuals.The shoulder straps make carrying easy and different colors identity tools.

So, it's not terrible. It looks like it will hold up for a couple of months, but it's not the sturdy, thick-looking bag that it appears to be in photos. This is on par with one of those cloth, zippered pencil cases that fit into a binder. Am I happy? No. Am I deeply upset? Well, also no. I'll use it until I take the time to find something else. All I'm saying is, if this was in the Dollar Tree next to other tote-related things, it wouldn't stand out. You'd buy it and use it, but you wouldn't think you came away with anything special. I've already been asked once if it is supposed to be a grocery bag, and I just got it in the mail 2 hours ago.

Love this bag. Its perfect for me to carry my stuff in for work & can't beat $10. I was worried it would be small for the price, but its actually pretty good size. The colors stand out, which I love. I was afraid it would be faded & dull compared to the picture, but not at all. Its really nice. The only thing I worry about is the straps durability & how much weight it can hold before breaking. I haven't used it yet, so thats the only reason I'm giving 4 stars, because the straps to me are iffy.

Nice size bag with front pockets and zips up the downfall if it had a base at the bottom so it could stand on its own and a separate pocket inside with a zipper but the bag is a nice size over for the price.

This is smaller than pictured. Also, very flat. Don't plan on putting anything bulkier than perhaps a smaller tablet. Fabric feels ok but haven't used it. I will probably give it to my teen niece and perhaps she can use it. Too good to be truly good for an adult for the price it was. Sorry, I really wanted to use it. Guess I'm still on the hunt.
