Comments about RECYCLED PLASTIC BOTTLE SMALL MESSENGER BAG:

I really like this bag. It's light weight and just the right size for my needs. That it's made from recycled materials makes it even better.
I also like the design and that it doesn't look like the average bag. However I am a little worried that the blue print at the top of the flap will peel of rather sooner than later since it's where the fabric is bend a lot.

Comments about RECYCLED PLASTIC BOTTLE SMALL MESSENGER BAG:

I love the fact that it's a conversation piece, but I thought it would be more structured like a messenger bag. The material it's made out of was just like canvas. I was expecting more of a plastic feel that I could clean easier, and it doesn't have any shape! As soon as I put my stuff in it, it just hangs there.

I use this bag for when I need to be out and about running errands or babysitting. It's the perfect size for holding all my essentials (wallet, keys, sunglasses, phone) and even my dayplanner. I love the design, especially the penguin, and the cute pockets (gotta love the cell phone pocket).
