I really like this item, but it's very expensive for basically being a canvas tote.

Jane
Vote: Thumbs down!

I agree with Candice, this item is really neat, but incredibly expensive. Impractical.

Laura

Agree on the pricing comments, too much for a canvas bag.

Seneca

I would love to have this but can't afford that price.

Michelle

Who would pay that? Although very cute, I could find 10 other cute bags for a fraction of that.

Carrie

Hmmm. A re-purposed bag at the store? $1. Now I can spend $74 dollars on groceries. $75 for a BAG? No spank you.

Of course you can find less expensive bags out there, but if your less expensive bags are anything like the one's I've purchased, they wear out pretty quickly. Mail bags are known for lasting for ages. I think this is an awesome bag!

I agree with the "too expensive comments." HOWEVER, this bag is FANTASTIC! To me it is almost like a piece of artwork - I don't mind paying more for "art." :)

The canvas on the USPS mailbags are virtually indestructible and you have a piece of history - that may not be around much longer!

Carol

Love it, for packing along books/magazines, water or other things as such. Love the idea it's from repurposed mail sacks.

Jessica
Vote: Thumbs up!

Love it, it would be great for people going to tafe or to uni whilst it's horrible weather outside.

Elena

I love the canvas and upcycled aspects but I prefer my bags with a flap to keep stuff in.

Rachel
Vote: Thumbs down!

really too expensive for what it is.

Amanda
Vote: Thumbs down!

Way too expensive and I like my bags to have a flap to keep everything inside.

Michelle
Vote: Thumbs up!

It's the perfect size for taking all you need with you for whatever. Would be even better if the price wasn't so high, though.

Susan

Awesome! love it. Stylish and trendy making great use of repurposed fabric. Definitely would purchase.

Heather

The price is a bit steep, but they are pretty awesome.

Lisa
Vote: Thumbs up!

I like it, but for $75 it NEEDS to have a shoulder strap (I mean you wouldn't ask a mail carrier to carry their bag with just hand straps)!

Heather
Vote: Thumbs down!

Cute, but would never pay that much for it.

amber
Vote: Thumbs up!

cute but to much money for it.

Elisa
Vote: Thumbs down!

I agree with the others - the price is too high and it needs a shoulder strap.

Tiffany

I know there are a lot of comments out there about the high cost of the bag. When you are repurposing materials, there is a cost associated with the sorting, cleaning, and handling of the materials. What's viewed as "free" actually has a lot of labor involved in storing and processing the old mail bags These handmade bags were washed and sorted to bring you a whole lot of upcycled love and we hope that you enjoy them as much as we enjoyed designing and creating them!

Mariesa
Vote: Thumbs up!

Really cute, the price is a little high, but could be worth it if the straps are large enough for the shoulder. This bag would definitely last!

Elizabeth

Hello, Voters! There's still a few days left to tell us what you think about this creative canvas tote. Don't forget to check out the comment from Tiffany, chief designer for the company that makes these upcycled sacks, to learn more about the process and why they cost a bit more than some more common bags.

Vote: Thumbs up!

The price is steep, but think about it. This is a virtually indestructible bag that's pretty roomy, it's a piece of history that won't be around much longer, and it goes with anything, whether you're going to the grocery store or out to dinner. I LOVE it!

Alyssa
Vote: Thumbs down!

I agree with many others, price is way too high. Also Shoulder strap would be more alluring to me

Kimberly

I love the look of this bag and agree it's a little small and the price seemed to be a bit high too. I would possibly buy it for this price if I knew why it's made in Mexico. Are the assemblers making a fair wage?

Mari

Looks indestructible. I'd love one. I use bags all the time. Down to plastic bags!

Susan

Like it....but way too expensive

Jenna
Vote: Thumbs up!

This is far too expensive for something made outside the U.S. and with no artist information. Plus, this bag, as cool as it is, could be made by some little kid for all we know. No fair trade practices noted in this description. If what I suspect about this bags origins are true, there is nothing uncommon about this.

$75 for a recycled mail tote that's made in Mexico??

Too many totes available already at MUCH more reasonable prices.

I just like the design!!!

Cassie, UncommonGoods Community Moderator

Thanks for all of the great questions and comments on this Mail Sack Tote! Although the product is made in Mexico, it is made using fair trade practices. The manufacturers do make sure they meet all health and safety requirements, and must pass third party inspections to make sure they continue to adhere to these standards. Please keep in mind that one of the factors in the cost of this item is that the artisans involved are given a fair wage.

Pretty cool, but I agree with another voter - needs a shoulder strap.

Lara

too expensive for a smaller tote - would like this as a very large bag! like the idea though

Ed
Vote: Thumbs up!

I love this bag and with a bit of rope threaded through the grommets you could sinch the top closed as well. I do wish it were a bit bigger and the straps a bit longer and if people would read through the comments they'd see that most of their concerns are addressed concerning fair-trade practices and cost of production etc. Please put this into production!

I like the bag, it looks really fun! I would never spend that much on a tote bag though.

Maisie
Vote: Thumbs down!

This is really neat, and it would probably last a long time, but I can't afford to spend $75 on what's basically a canvas bag!
