Since moving here to Japan I’ve found that I cannot go anywhere without carrying a bag. The main reason being that I walk everywhere or ride the train as we don’t have or need a car. Often when I travel to Tokyo for my dance class I carry two bags, a smaller purse and a larger bag for my change of clothes and water bottle. Since I have been printing with Society6 for a while now I thought it was time to see what their newly redesigned bags looked like in person. I love the colors in my “Sea Nettle” print and so that was an easy choice as my first buy. I’m so happy with the outcome and thought I would share photos as well as a review.
Review
Taken this evening just before sunset this image captures the colors wonderfully. I’m very happy with the size, a 16 x 16 inch bag. A larger size for me would be a bit cumbersome however I am considering buying the smaller 13 x 13 inch for other purposes. As it is this bag is perfect for carrying folders of prints back from my recent craft fair or exercise clothes to my dance classes. The straps are sturdy as well as the construction of the bag.
A closeup to show the visible weave of the bag. The texture & weight reminds me of canvas.
The little logo tag that is on the bottom of the bag is a nice touch. Also you can see that the bottom is sewn to be able to sit flat.
A peek at the inside, a matching dark black interior. And below, one more photo inside with cooler lighting on my dinning room table.
Society6’s description:
“Our quality crafted Tote Bags are hand sewn in America using durable, yet lightweight, poly poplin fabric. All seams and stress points are double stitched for durability. They are washable, feature original artwork on both sides and a sturdy 1″ wide cotton webbing strap for comfortably carrying over your shoulder.”
Conclusion
I love my new bag and feel like the price of $22 was very reasonable for the quality that you receive. I think these would make great gifts and plan on buying at least one more for myself in the smaller size!
