I was asked to review a hand-drawn tote bag from Totes Retro. I was given three options to choose from and I chose Space Invaders:

I was really excited when it came in the mail because I am a HUGE fan of canvas tote bags - Craig calls them my fun bags because when I travel with them, I always have fun stuff hidden inside. Well, when I received my bag, I was a little disappointed.
The bad: I thought the drawings would be a little sharper and when the bag accidentally made its way into the washing machine, it came out half the size it was when I got it. Yeah, it shrunk.

The good: It looks unique and I like that aspect. As a huge fan of the 80s, I like what the bag is all about (c'mon, I'm an nerd!). I like that every bag is unique and I think it's cool that someone took the time to draw on each bag. Also, the price is something that can't be beat: £2.50 ($4/15NIS) - which still makes this a winner in my book.
Since the bag shrunk, I've found it to be really useful when I need to schelp Yoavi's diapers and wipes around - it's just big enough to fit 4 diapers, a box of wipes, a changing mat, one toy, a few pacifiers, and a ready-made bottle. I may add a zipper or a fastener on to the bag but it'll still be perfect when I need to change Yoav on the airplane.
