Love the bags! I have purchased Chico bags and the lime green bag that carries 6 bottles. I have re-ordered sale items and am also going to order the red floral 6-bottle carrier. I have told my friends about these convenient bags.

heavier than I thought it would be. Bottle pockets not as useful as I though, they only fit wine bottles. Doesn't hold as much as my other canvas bags not easy to carry when the side bottle pockets are used. Not easy to fill when the bottle pockets are used pretty bulky Great looking Holds quite a bit, but not a whole lot either Great long handles to carry over shoulders for long trips and short handles to bring up the stairs. I didn't return it, but I wouldn't buy it again

I have two of these and use them all the time. I like the funky designs they come in and the handy little pouch you can stuff them in when. It's easy to put them back in the pouch and it doesn't get messy. They aren't huge but large enough to hole a good deal (probably 2 plastic bags) and I like the long handles, I can easily carry them over my shoulder even when wearing a winter coat. They have a cool flap to help keep your groceries in which I found pretty cool. Good quality.

I ordered the grocery tote for use at the market, but find that I use it for EVERYTHING! It is well-constructed and sturdy so it will hold almost anything. I love having the pockets because there's always something I need to keep separate. And as an added bonus, this grocery tote puts the FUN in functional! I liked mine so much that I ordered a second one for a friend for Christmas.

In my search for the perfect diaper bag, I stumbled upon this great bag. I've never seen a diaper bag with so many exterior pockets, and that's what I was intent on having--this bag has six of them! All plenty big enough to hold a baby bottle or sippy cup, and since I rarely leave the house without two of each, it was very important. The solid red color is very nice and gender neutral. The inside is roomy enough to carry diapers, wipes, ointments, meds, a change of clothes and even a small blanket. I keep the meds in the little zippered pouch that hooks on the inside of the bag. I've also found the exterior key fob handy. The zipper is sturdy and it is very hard to find a tote with a full zipper, so that's a plus. It has two short and two long handles, so no matter how you want to hold it (or sling it over stroller handles) it is versatile. It launders well (cold, extra gentle) and though I've put it through the wringer for the past 8 months, it still looks brand new. All in all, a great bag to have for diaper duty, beach-going, or as originally intended...shopping!!

Reisenthel has done it again with this bag. I've used the market basket (carrybag) for a while, but wanted something for regular grocery shopping. This bag fits the bill perfectly. I've used it for about a month now, and am totally satisfied. There is ample room inside for roughly two normal brown grocery bags worth of stuff, plus the outside pockets which are perfect for cans, drink bottles, or assorted small items. The bag is very well constructed and I expect to be using it for years to come. The best features in my opinion are the separate handles for over the shoulder or in-the-hand carrying, the fact that it stands up on it's own, and a small bonus for me was that it comes with two 'shopping cart coins' (in their own little pouch) for use in coin-operated carts found all over Germany.

I love this bag - all the pockets and size and material. It\'s so light. However one of the seams were completely unsewn. Fortunately I know how to sew and was able to \"finish\" the bag myself and avoided the hassle of returning it.

I love this bag! It is a good size, stands upright, looks nice and is well-made. I use it all the time. I put more cumbersome and breakable items in this bag (bottles, cereal boxes, etc), and stuff some envirosax bags (also avilable on this website) in the outer pockets for any additional grocery items which I might have. Finally rid of horrid plastic grocery bags everywhere!

I reviewed this bag shortly after purchasing but now that I've been using it for almost two years I wanted to update my review. I use the modern grocery tote several times a week and it still looks brand new. Not only does it hold a huge amount of groceries it's easy to carry with the shoulder straps; the shorter handles are great to grab when lifting the full bag out of the cart or off the counter. The outer pockets are ideal for wine bottles or any other glass containers, keeping them from knocking together in transit. The bag stands beautifully in the back of my car. The cashiers at Trader Joe's and Whole Foods often comment on how much they like the bag and how easy it is to pack. I've even become known as "the girl with the green bag" at TJ's because the checkers like it so much.

I like the tote for the outside pockets for liter bottles. I find that I use it too for taking my kid's drinks in their Klean Kanteens, but when I do that I wish the bag itself was wider. For just shopping it is great.

I am pleased with the construction, appearance, and value. I bought this as a gift, so I cannot comment on its use; however, the recipient was thrilled to receive the grocery tote. I have not seen a Reisenthel prooduct that was not well-made, useful, and sturdy. I am considering one for myself.

I had been given a bag like this, and love it. So, I ordered two more--one for our second car (so I'm always "green" at the grocery store) and one for a gift. The new ones are slightly different in their size--taller and less width, but the outside bottle pockets and the double straps are really great. It makes a wonderful tote for going to farmer's market each Friday after work. We're very happy with the quality of construction and the amount it can hold

It ook some time to arrive; but was worth the wait. I had emailed inquiries which went unaswered---this was the only problem I encountered.

Love this bag so much I have two: they hold everything. I use them for grow=cery shopping & for travel. This makes a great carry-on. It also makes a great beach bag. I love the side pockets for drinks. Sturdy, and practical: I have washed it a couple of times, and the colors hold up as does the shape.

I appreciate the promptness with which the order was expedited. It came just in time for our vacation! I bought two, and they were both used everyday. They were a great carry on for the plane trip, too.
