Simply Bags carries a lot of varieties of Tote Bags you should check out. They gave me the opportunity to choose any bag I would like.

I went through their website and skimmed through all the bags, and decided I wanted the Polka Dot Tote in black and fuchsia. Now for my review.

Product Review: Polka Dot Tote in Black-Fuchsia

Description on the website: Small trendy polka dot tote bag for use as a handbag. This cute tote bag is available in the latest fashion colors with popular polka dot trim.

My thoughts: My first initial reaction is how cute is the bag!!! Oh mi goodness it's so adorable! I love it!... hehe~ Anyone who knows me well know I love cute, adorable things. No matter how old I get, I still enjoy cute things... wheee~ After the excitement wore off, I needed to take pictures and examine the bag... hehe~

All their bags have something embroidered on it since that's the main concept of their line. I had them embroider my name. It's very well stitched and I love the font type. :)

The added bow and ribbon strip on the front is so adorable! I noticed one thing though. :/ On the website, the bow and the ribbon strip is black with fuchsia polka dots, but the bag I received is fuchsia with black polka dots. I am not too sure why there is a difference from the picture on the website and the bag I received. To be honest, I like the fuchsia with the black polka dots better... wheee~ :)

Here's a closer picture of the bow. The one thing I really love is that they stitched the bow!!! Most bags I have seen, mostly cosmetic bags, they glue the bow. If I made my own bag, I would have stitched it on as well because it's more sturdy that way! A lot of bags that are glued on tend to come off or at least from experiences I have heard.

I noticed they cut the end of the ribbon/bow instead of stitching. I wish they stitched it instead of cut it. The cut on the left one is good, but the right one isn't too good. I can see in the future the thread coming off. I think this bag would be better if it was stitched.

Here's how the back looks like.

Here's a picture of the bottom. I love that they put 4 I don't know what you call that; the shiny, silver thingie... lol~ The reason why I like it is because it will protect the bottom from touching the ground when you put it on the floor. Who wants your bag touching the ground eh!?!? Even though I say this, most of us still put it on the ground because it's just easily forgettable.

The bottom is very sturdy. I am not too sure but if I had to take a guess, they put a cardboard on the bottom. In my opinion, that's a good idea because it will keep the shape of the bottom. I know a lot of bags with no cardboard on the bottom and you can see these women with expensive bags with a weird shape bottom. That's not a pretty sight or at least for me!

Here's the handles. It's fuchsia with black polka dots on one side and just plain fuchsia on the other.

Here's the top of the bag.

I love that they put a heart charm to the zipper. How cute is that!!! :) The one thing I found odd about this bag is that they don't close all the way. I am not too sure why, but it's actually not a hassle. I put my left thumb in the plaided area in the picture and use my right hand to unzip it. It's actually pretty comfortable that way... hehe~

Here's how the inside looks. This is the inside of the back side of the bag. I love that the inside is black and white plaid.

It has three compartments. The big one with the zipper, and two smaller compartments in the front.

Here's the inside of the front side of the bag.

The most important part of any bags are the stitches and how sturdy it is... hehe~ If you have a bag that isn't stitched well, the threads can come off and that's the end of the bag. :/ The stitches are amazing; perfectly equal and very well made! :)

The fabric of the bag is good too. The outside is one of those material when it gets wet, example sprinkle from the rain, it would fall off the bag. I am not 100% sure on this since I haven't wore this bag outside in the rain yet but from the quality, you can tell... hehe~ ;) I also noticed it's very easily bendable. If you noticed in the second picture from the top, you can see a bend all the way around in one area. I think it's my mail man's fault... lol~ I saw him trying to squeeze the package into the mail box. Don't ask me why. :/ Overall, I am really happy with this bag. It's just really cute!... hehe~ :)
