I was really, really looking forward to receiving this tote, I ordered 2. Just received them, they were packaged great, but, once I opened them I was somewhat disappointed and here's why; The emblem is gorgeous, but it is made of some heavy type of plastic feeling material I've never seen used on totes, t-shirts, etc., it's seems a bit heavy of a material to use on such a light fabric tote bag, IMHO. The weight of this emblem should have been used on a much heavier material of tote bag. Also part of the emblem where it was folded is flaking off, on both of the totes I received. I'll try using some fabric glue to hopefully stop it. I am happy to have them and will use them gently to hold my knitting and crocheting projects once I try to stop the peeling from getting worse. I'm taking 2 stars off due to the peeling and plastic feeling material of the emblem of this tote. I'd give the design a solid 10 though!
