Review on BeeGreen Reusable-Grocery-Bags-Shopping-Totes: 12 Pack with Zipper Pouch, Heavy Duty, Cute, Washable, Recycle Bags Bulk - Ideal for 50lbs of Shopping, Dogs, Hedgehog, Cat, Turtle, Penguin by Denis Panga

I have bought BeeGreen bags in the past and I really like them. One of my favourites. But over the years their numbers have decreased, so I've returned for new ones, but this particular model is no longer made. So I got them instead. Very cute animal prints and the sizes aren't *this* wrong. The first difference between my originals and these is that the old ones are made of ripstop nylon (mesh pattern) while these are plain. This makes them less durable and also too slippery. I could live with that if it weren't for the limited usage due to the odd size. The side panels are quite narrow, making the bags appear more tubular. They don't open very wide, so you can only stack small items, but not larger ones. I tried putting a 12" x 14" basket around the perimeter and 7" high. I tried putting it 12" side down and it didn't fit. The handles are also unnecessarily long for IMO size I like small compact bags for small or heavy items and large roomy bags for large or light items - for long handles but useless for big things For really big bags I recommend so Baggu Large or another BeeGreen model: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0861TMS49/ ref=ox_sc_act_title_5?smid=ANQU702B5499D&psc=1 And for small ones I prefer BagPodz or Urban Market.
