This is a unique travel bag that can be used either as a small purse or a larger shoulder bag. When folded up, the bag is a small square handbag with an adjustable shoulder strap. There is a front zipper pocket large enough for a few small items (it's big enough for a phone but not much else along with it - probably just a few cards, chapstick, etc). On the back there is a mesh pocket which can hold something else but does not have any way to secure it. In this form the bag is small, but also holds less than you would expect for the size - since the "inner" portion of purse is not usable given it is filled with the extra fabric for the larger bag. When the outer zipper is unzipped, the extra fabric easily folds out into a fairly large shoulder bag which easily has the capacity to function as a day bag or gym bag. In addition to the small straps, the adjustable shoulder strap can be unclipped from the rings on the bottom of the bag (where it connects to carry the purse) and can be clipped into the rings on either side of the unfolded bag to turn it into a cross-body bag. Folding it back into the purse size is pretty easy, though it is hard to get all the fabric to lay perfectly flat as it was when I first received it. Overall I think this bag has an interesting and fairly smart design. It is a decent option for a travel bag when you want to have the ability to carry very little but still have extra space available. When traveling I often carry less for quick outings than when I am at home (I might have only a hotel key card and my ID/CC rather than a full keyring and wallet, for example) but it's nice to be able to buy a water bottle, snack, or souvenir and have somewhere to put it. For that purpose this little bag works well. The downside of this bag is the purse version is not very functional unless you are really carrying very little. The shoulder bag version has a good capacity, but the material is very lightweight with zero structure which means it is not good for carrying anything heavy, and I'm not sure it will be super durable in the long-run. Even though I absolutely love "multifunctional" items, it seems this bag is trading multifunctionality for a bag that doesn't function super well in either of its forms. Still, it is so lightweight it will be very easy to pack and I do expect to take it with me when traveling to serve its very specific purpose. Price is on the higher end for what I would expect for this bag but not unreasonable. Read more
I was surprised at just how compact this zipped-up bag was. It zips out into a nice-sized bag with straps. The fabric is sturdy and pretty. Great for trips where space is at a premium. Read more
I really like this bag, but it does have specific uses. It's light weight, expands to a good-size bag, and has several exterior pockets. I haven't found any issues with stitching - it feels well made. The fabric has a vinyl feel that has kept the bag waterproof from the limited water it's come into contact with. I have used it as a beach bag, to carry a change of clothes to an event, and we've used it to carry wet clothes. It could probably carry light-to-mid-weight groceries, but it's lack of structure would make it difficult to load. When expanded, it does not have any structure - but the flip side is that it folds down into a cute little bag that can live in your vehicle or in a drawer and come out as needed. I have the green floral and I LOVE this fabric and pattern. I do struggle with the price...it's well made and beautiful, but seems pricy. Read more
This is a cute little folding bag, that can be used in two sizes. It comes folded as a small purse, but you can quickly unfold it into a large, tote bag size. The bag itself seems to be made of a thin, lightweight nylon, I got the green leaves pattern. It also folds down quite small, into the purse size shown in the pics. Folding it bavk into the small size is quite fun and fairly easy. A nice feature is that it included both a shoulder and hand carry strap, so you can carry it just in case with ease. The quality of this bag is ok, with average construction and zippers. It’s light enough to store easily, and large enough to hold your items for transport and last with decent care. I’m not sure how well this would do with anything sharp or especially pointy, I’m concerned it might tear, but it is waterproof. I also think this is a bit pricey for such thin fabric and basic quality construction and findings. For the price, I would have expected 3 - 5 of these bags. Read more
This little foldable bag has several pluses going for it to use for travel. It seems plenty durable for light duty uses. It’s water resistance, light weight fabric, and multiple compartment pockets will make it quite handy as a cruise vaca bag. I like how easily it folds in on itself for quick use or put-away. I think the bag should do very well for light duty situations but don’t think it’s suited for heavy or sharp bulky items. The price seems a tiny bit high for this type of a light duty bag, but it’s pros do help offset the investment. Read more
The media could not be loaded. This bag is well made and cleverly designed. It expands easily when you need extra space and zips down to a smaller size when you don’t. The materials and zippers feel sturdy, and it holds its shape nicely either way. A practical, adaptable bag that works well for travel, errands, or everyday use. Read more
3 mesh pockets - water resistant - decent quality and folds into itself for easy carry and has external mesh pockets. Once it is unfolded it has good room and depth for may items such as phone and charger, and you can even carry snacks and it makes a great non bulky travel tote. It is of good value and comes in brown, army green and a green leaf design - I have the Army green. Read more
Vine Review: Light weight, compact, foldable tote that literally turns inside out and stuffs into itself to form a tiny should bag with pockets. The fabric feels lovely, and the bag's well made, with lots of internal and external pockets. Only issue is, it wilts into a puddle when it's empty. It's going in my travel bag as a laundry bag.
