This bag is very cute for sure. It is definitely waterproof with a plastic like exterior. The handles are nice - one for shoulder carry and one for hand carry. The inner pocket is just one large compartment - that is why I gave it only 4 stars. Since it is a plastic like material, there is nothing to keep stuff from sliding around inside. THere is one small zipper pocket along the side but it isn't big enough for anything more than money/CC/etc. THe six pockets along the outside are deep and narrow... so once again it wouldn't hold something larger. If you only need to carry a phone, some chargers, makeup it will fit. It just is very limited in how things are carried stored. I bought it as a tennis bag. My 2 rackets were just sliding around inside and I had to fill it with other things to fill the space and since there weren't any other pockets inside, I ended up getting smaller bags to fill the large bag and that seemed like the complete opposite of what a bag should be used for.

Stands open, but foldable. Light weight. Easily accommodated water bottles in side pockets. Great choice for the beach for us.

Great bag, I love all the pockets! Easy to clean and easy to store. So cute and very versatile

I purchased this bag after seeing fellow teachers carrying them around and practically collect teacher totes. I decided to add this one to my collection. Thoughts?

Pros: Material is very sturdy. It stands by itself when upright when empty (makes it easier to fill). Material is easy to clean. Two types of handles to help you carry the bag as well as shove it into the back of your car. Numerous pockets and large inside zippered flap for carrying lots of odds and ends.

Cons: Material feels cheap. Actually, it's very similar to those plastic reuseable bags you can get for .99 at the checkout counter of the grocery store. It's actually pretty much that exact material except designed more elegantly. Those bags also can hold a lot and are sturdy. Considering the price, whoever owns this company is making a killing. While the straps are versatile, they're very rough and thin and dig into your shoulders. I carry home my EC teacher planner, an accordion file with papers to grade, and my water bottle - my shoulders are red, and you can see where the straps have dug in. It's not the weight. I have a 31 Cindy Tote and an Overstreet laptop Tote, and they both have a bit of cushion on the straps to ease the burden. For 50.00, you'd think they could spare a bit of padding at the tops of the shoulder straps. Finally, the pockets are a bit small. 31 bags have a little gusset at the bottom so that the pocket is essentially the same size from top to botton. These are sloped. While it does make the pockets less obtrusive and more aesthetically pleasing, sometimes small items get a bit lost or you can't easily spot them looking down at the bag. It's also difficult to get my insulated water bottle in there because, though it fits the top well, as the pocket narrows, it becomes a harder fit. Were these perhaps specifically made with Tervis bottles in mind?

Overall, glad to have it in my collection and will use from time to time. Is it my "go-to" bag? No. Right now I have elements of all that, if combined, would make the PERFECT teacher bag, but until a company makes it, these will do.

I love the pockets, the long and short handles, and the good size of the main compartment. It is very effective for me to travel to 6 classrooms throughout the day. I do change items out throughout the day though otherwise it would be too heavy. It's comfortable and holds up.
