I Simply Need A Bag

For some it is jewelry, for some it is shoes, for some it is purses or bags-- most of us have our personal vice.  For me, it is shoes many of which I buy only to wear once or twice.  But the thing that I use and need every day is a good purse or bag.

I am still in the child in diaper, child spills on them-self, child is hungry and needs a snack stage... in other words I usually need to pack everything but the kitchen sink.  So when I was contacted by the owner of Simply Bags to see if I would like to try out one of their custom tote bags, well I was more than happy to oblige.

Simply Bags is a husband and wife owned company who makes- well simply bags.  To name just a few, they make everything from personalized totes, cosmetic bags, college bags (even a BYU one!), diaper bags, kids bags and even bags for men!

The best part is each bag can be personalized and monogrammed just for you.

I received a turquoise custom tote bag.   This bag is huge!  The inside is one big pouch however there is a side zipper pocket inside and two slip pockets-that would be perfect for slipping my phone into.   It has a magnetic button snap top to help close it up a bit.

I don't really know materials- but whatever the inside is made of is definitely a material that would easily wipe clean from any spilled Cheerios or leaking sippy cups (or you could even throw wet towels in it if you were using it as a beach bag).  It feels really durable- I even tugged on the straps for a while and they are sewn in good.

And of course there are the monogrammed initials- beautiful.  This bag is rather large- as it is supposed to be; so while it isn't going to be my day to day bag it has become my designated library book bag-- we routinely leave the library with up to 30 kids books as each kid wants to pick out their books and this bag can do the duty well!

I am very impressed with the bag I was sent and after looking through their site I have a list of bags I would love to get!

Are you a bag person?  What is your vice?
