This tote exceeded my expectations. I first bought the small one, the blue, and loved it so I went back and got the large one as well. Happy I did! Perfect tote. Good quality. I got the green in the large. It’s lovely.

I bought a total of two, one blue and one green. It looked good because the thread was thick and the bottom part was tightly knit, but after using this bag for the first time, the thread under the handle fell apart and the string began to unravel. What a disappointing bag!

The blue color in this bag is beautiful! The quality of the crochet seems good. The lack of a liner is why I would not recommend. Whether you use it as a purse or beach bag, the holes in the crochet are far too big to put smaller items in without falling out between the crochet. I even bought a liner but it does not stay put. Very disappointed that it did not have a liner.

I have been eyeing the capri bag (looks identical) from the J.Crew retail store but never wanted to pay the price for it. To my surprise the Factory store had their own version and it is adorable! I would say the quality is pretty good but not great- I used twice for a short time and the bag seems a little worn already so I would say make sure you get this on sale and don’t expect longevity. Otherwise the blue color is so pretty and it’s a fun bag!

The way the straps are secured to the bag, they start to come apart after a few uses. I only carried basic, not very heavy things in it like sunglasses, wallet, lipgloss and phone, so I found that pretty disappointing, as I wanted to use it for a throw everything in and go bag.

The first time I used this bag one side completely unraveled. I was so disappointed as this bag is cute for the summer.
