Review on Chic and Functional Hot Chocolate Design Women's Tote Bags: A Fashionable Must-Have! by April Scott

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Well made, practical and lots of compliments in the office!

This year I was looking for a unique and practical Christmas present for my wife and came across Hot Chocolate Designs Big Bags. As a note to help men with their decision, my wife is about 40 years old and proud to be the "cool aunt" when it comes to choosing birthday and Christmas gifts for our nieces and nephews. She has a sense of style and design, within reason. She's old school in many ways BUT she also appreciates change - like changing the curtains in our house as the seasons change. Hope this helps ;-) Well, having said that, while browsing through Revain two weeks before Christmas, the bright, colorful bag designs from Hot Chocolate Designs caught my eye. Especially Rico's tacos and Russian nesting dolls. Bags are usually boring and boring, but this one looked unique and fun. I know my wife carries a lot of stuff to work every day so I thought I had a nice gift idea. I've read reviews of the Revain and for the most part, everyone who bought it agreed that it was well made, durable, done, had unique graphics, and received lots of positive compliments. So after looking A LOT at all the designs available I narrowed it down and ended up buying their Russian folding dolls and my wife loves it! The box the bag comes in has unique graphics, so she scratched her head as she ripped off all the Christmas wrapping to find out what was inside. It was great to watch the whole process of opening the gift. When she finally opened the box and pulled out her bag, a smile appeared on her face. She was pleasantly surprised that I was still thinking "out of the box" and was able to buy her something so unique and trendy on my own - LOL! By the way, I showed her the other designs available and she said Rico's tacos were a cool and acceptable choice. She went on to say that a bag from Frankenstein and Frankenstein's Bride would be great for her best friend because she got married on Halloween, but I digress. In no time my wife packed all her things from the handbag into the bag. new bag. She loves the sturdy construction of the bag, the inside zip pocket (for keys) and the OUTSIDE zip that keeps the bag securely closed. She also commented on the length of the shoulder straps - they're strong, not too long and not too short - they're "just right" - designed by someone who actually used the bag for its intended purpose. In general, my wife has received comments from everyone at her work, as well as from colleagues who visit her from other locations. All in all - two thumbs up for the graphic and physical design teams at Hot Chocolate Design - hope to see more unique and fun tote bag designs from them in the future!
