Revainrating 4 out of 5

Several Months in and Still as Pleased as Day One!

UPDATE November 2022:I wanted to give some updates with my experience regarding this product!Current Colors: I have now purchased the black, dark green, red, cerise, celestial blue, sea green, and violet purple. I got so many compliments on my purple purse that I started giving them as gifts for others!Tag Removal: So I have tried this a couple different ways now on each purse. I tried removing the tag from inside the purse and then on the outside of the purse of a different one. The result was exactly the same. When they come in I remove the tag with a seam ripper. I still suggest they stop adding the tag even though, yes, it is easy to remove. I feel sorry for those working hard to stitch these when they are coming right off upon receiving the product. Immediately after taking the tag off I can still see a bit of the stitching holes, but then I launder it next. After washing, for me, the tag remnant holes have looked non-existent. I get a lot more compliments on these when they are off.Laundering: The only color that bled for me so far was the purple. I still need to wash the red so we will see how that one goes. I still wash them separately and in a zippered laundry bag on a delicate, cold cycle and hang to dry.Presentation: All the purses have arrived in pristine condition except for one black one that smelled like burnt campfire. The others have been great.Pricing: I try to order the purse options that are around the $10 mark. I have noticed that *usually* they are cheaper when off season which I guess is the case for many things. I needed a holiday red for a project and reluctantly paid about $14 for it. However, the rest I chose when they have been right around $10-$11 total. I would guess holiday sales and inventory also contribute to the price. I am going to look at spring and summer colors for friends now when they are likely cheaper. I waited until the black purse finally went on sale and got it recently for right around $11.Usage: Lastly, I am embarrassed to admit that I pile things in this purse to busting open capacity. I mean it is f-u-l-l. So very full. Yet, no buckles breaking, no seams ripping, and the zipper remains intact. For the price of a fast food meal I have gotten three months of continual use for my purple purse. I have been so pleased with the quality and how it has held up.I hope this update helps you!________________________________________________________________________________________Original Review August 2022:Color: I ordered the purple color which is gorgeous in person. If you like pink or purple you will likely love the pretty shade.Cost: It was under $10 when I purchased it. I loved it so much I immediately ordered the only other color I could find that was also under $10.Use: I like this for when I go to doctor appointments or areas where it is not as clean. This enables me to easily wash the purse.Laundering: I washed the purple in a larger lingerie bag and so far it has done beautifully. It did color the lingerie bag (which I figured would be the case) so I chose one that already had pink on it prior to wash. Canvas can do weird things with repeated washing so we will see how it goes in the future. So far, it washed beautifully and the color looks just as brilliant. I also hung it to dry which helps.Con: So far I really like everything about this item except two things. One, the stitching of the inside pockets goes through to the outside of the purse because it is only one layer of fabric. If you are really attentive to detail or good at sewing, this might bother you. I don't love it, but it does what I need for the price. Second, the product label is just odd. It is big and the wording isn't the most fluid. I wish it had no label or the label was like a pretty flower or something. Ha.Overall: The quality is good and the price is great. If you need something along this line, this item looks like a very reasonable option in this product category. I hope this review helps you!

Pros
  • The bag is a great size and sturdy! It is a sea for this price.
