I chose this bag as a present for my partner. She/we needed a bigger bag to carry the many bits and pieces we seem to need to carry around. After long searches I found this company, the ethos was right, the design perfect , the colors boldly attractive and artistic. It arrived carefully packaged in a reusable box. Its easy to see the quality of the design and fabric. The stitching is first class and strong. The reinforcement of the seems says "This bag is going to last and last". The purse like bag within the bag is an added bonus and helps with organisation and security. This Tote Bag stands out, and is a joy to use. The overall quality makes it worth every penny of the reasonable cost. A big thank you. Jim and Delia
