22" Shopping Tote Bag Heavy Cotton Canvas (Zippered Top) Black Watermelon

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.

What a tote! I got the biggest one. I slid an insulated grocery 'cold bag' into the interior. It stays in my car for when I load frozen/ cold foods in the heat. Because it's made of thick cotton canvass, it holds the cold in, and the strap goes easy over my shoulder, so my hands are free. That's not all. This zippered bag is very well made and it has that timeless blue and white canvas look to it. Don't hesitate to bring it as part of a hostess gift to a Summer BBQ ( fill the bag with cook out gear for his grill, and an outdoor candle for her) Or pair it with a blanket, beverages or kitchen accessories and bring it to a housewarming. Mine stays in the car for carrying things into the house. It hangs on a peg by the door for the next trip back out. It looks great after several months. Having the ability to zipper it closed is very useful. Nothing spills out, and the flat bottom also helps when packing it.

I just took this bag on a cruise. Used it as my personal item on the plane both ways and then lugged it all over various port stops (beaches, etc). It's great! It's super roomy. I just put a smaller bag inside of it to hold valuables otherwise you may be groping around for a while but easily held large beach towel, full can of sunscreen, tee shirt, hat, boat shoes, snacks, and small bag with sunglasses, wallet, etc. It could have held a lot more. It looks great still - I got the grey flamingoes and excited to use it all summer. The small pocket on teh side was perfect for holding cell phone and other small items that I needed quickly.

Super good quality. Very nice size. Very roomy.

This is a very sturdy bag but be careful of the measurements; they can be misleading. it's not measured the same way a box or piece of luggage is. If you lay the bag flat the top will measure 23" like the site says but that's with zero depth. Try to fit a box 23" X 16" X 6" into it and you will be very disappointed. Take 10" off that width and you'll still be way off. This may be great for loose items but not so much for a large bulky item. A box with 6" height would be a little tight, but the circumference (2L + 2W) would need to be less than 46" to fit.

This was a gift for a teacher I work with, the tote is sturdy and can hold a few large books. She loved the design.

I LOVE these bags. Strong, roomy and esp love that they have a zipper top. GREAT for gifts and really appreciated by recepients. Got couple of these for myself and use them a lot!! Great price!!

Its very cute and is exactly what I wanted. Its even bigger than expected but folds up completely flat. Its made well and the canvas is heavy duty but not scratchy. Ordered Friday afternoon. Received the next day. Thank you Amazon Prime. Update three weeks later. still looks like new and has held up with a lot of heavy items like 4 2 litter bottles of coke. The only problem I had was an easy fix. The material around the zipper kept raveling. If it continued, the zipper would have come undone. I corrected that by super gluing the edge of fabric around zipper. Or you could sew a loop stitch instead.

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

Size is great
