I got this tote and the matching cosmetic bag for all my maids. I got them on sale so I couldn't resist grabbing one for myself too. I am very pleased with the way they turned out. I would have liked if there were more color choices but the overall look for the pink and brown ones I got is great. I really like the way the pink bag with the outter stich of bright pink and light pink inner stich turned out. The brown bags also look great with the all light pink writing and the green writing. I got purple and red stiching as well because those are my other maids favorite colors but prefer the way the other accent colors turned. The pink tote and pink cosmetic bag are both exactly the same color but the brown ones are a shade or two off from each other. You can notice it but it doesn't look bad. Overall, very happy with product and I can't wait to give them to my ladies.

I was actually rather disappointed when I received this product.The major problem I had with this bag is that there is absolutely NO support in the bottom. In other words, if you put ANYTHING besides sheets of paper inside this bag, the bottom sags. The whole reason I liked this bag was for the size and shape, and both are lost when the bag is used to carry something slightly heavy. I'm not even talking books--this thing sagged when I put my wallet, hairbrush, and cell-phone inside. I wish that there was at least a piece of plastic in the bottom (like you have in most eco-friendly grocery bags). I bought one of these bags as a trial-run, to see it in person before I purchased them for my bridesmaids. I am GLAD I did, because I will DEFINITELY NOT be doing so after seeing/attempting to use this product.

Awesome Tote!

Comments about The Knot Colorblock Tote:
I ordered this product on April 24th, 2013 for part of a gift for my Bridesmaids and received them on May 17th, 2013. I am so happy with the bags, I almost went with the smaller personalized canvas totes but the reviews said those were really small. I am SO HAPPY that I went with the larger totes. They are great quality and looks just like the sample during personalization. I do not regret this purchase and I know my Bridesmaids will love it!

Don't waste your money

About Me Bride
I bought these bags for myself and bridal party. We had our wedding in Mexico and spent 10 days there. After 10 days the bag was pretty dirty. I washed it on gentle cycle and it completely came apart. I contacted customer service and since it had been on 45 days since the purchase they responded "if you would like to order another tote we will out of courtesy honor your original price and give you a 15% discount on your tote"...as with most brides of course I bought these ahead to time. Don't waste you money on something that is going to fall apart and they won't even back their products. 15% off may cover the shipping
Great Size and Style
By Sunny
from Texas
Great bag for the price! You can tell from the bottom that it won't hold much weight, but it's perfect for my bridesmaids for my beach wedding! One thing to note- the colors are all a bit darker than they appear on the screen, especially the purple.
I am very pleased!
By ohsoofly
from Atlanta, GA
These tote bags are great. They are very big. I bought these for my four bridesmaids while they were on sale. The colors I chose match perfect. Some have complanined about there not being hard bottom in the bag but that was not a big issue for me. It is a qulity product. I would reccommend this for anybody! I am a very happy bride! They all will love this gift.
Great value, stylish & functional
By Lena
from Frederick, MD
I ordered 3 bags for my bridesmaids in hot pink, robin's egg and light blue. Hot Pink and Robin's Egg turn out great - rich colors and very well made. I was not as happy with the third bag as it wasn't stiched as neatly and the light blue looked faded. I sent an email to customer services and they said they would be happy to exchange it for a new bag. That made me a very happy and confident in shopping for more gifts here.
Not at all what I thought.
By July Bride
from Marina Del Rey, California
I purchased these bags for my bridal party. I thought it would be a nice touch to have a personalized bag to hold the gifts for my bridesmaids. I was very disappointed when I discovered the bag did mot have a supportive bottom. The most frustrating thing about the bags were that one of the four bags was a completely different color and material. Three of the bags were a nice white linen with the customized colors and initials, however one of the bags was a dirty off white color and the fabric was very rough. Additionally there are small spots on the off white section of the bag. The colors are very nice, however the poor workmanship was very disappointing.

Happy with Customer Service
By Amanda
from Rome, GA
There was a glitch with the system with processing the price of the bags. I emailed customer service and they took care of the issue right away. I couldn't be happier with how they took care of me! I hope the bags look gre at when they get here!

love love love this bag
By Nanners
from Los Alamitos
My MOH's and BM's are going to love this personalized bag, it is big enough for a weekend away bag for them to bring everything they need,I am stuffing mine with a towel wrap, flip flops, a makeup bag and jewerly for the wedding day and there is still plenty of room.
Absolutely Love!
By Ashley
I bought these on sale for a great price for my bridesmaids! I received them in the mail today and I love them! The color is better than the picture shown on this website! I bought the grass green tote & robins egg blue, with the black initials. They are well made and can hold several things (even towels or clothing). I def recommend them for any occasion or for your own personal use!
Adorable Bags
By Becky
from Philadelphia
Love this bag. I was a little nervous about getting it.. because I wasn't sure what I was really getting. All was great except the colors. I think they should have the same colors for the bag, inital and border. And the colors that they have, are not what they come out to be. So if you order Red... expect a coral color. Not happy about that and it will be redone. Which they were happy to help me with.
GREAT BAG!
By Michelle bride to be
from Ft Myers Fl
This is a great bag for everyday and beach,& travel use. I am so glad I ordered it and I am now waiting until it goes on sale again and get 1 for myself!!I got 2 for each bridesmaid with their Initial & it really is a classic bag. This will also be good for gifts for friends and family at other times of the year. Doesn't have to be just wedding gift. I also purchased the small cosmetic bag to coordinate, it is small but can fit lip glosses etc. The sale price is awesome and makes it well worth the $ .
Perfect Gift
By BBird
from Cancun, Mexico
I purchased 8 of these bags for my bridesmaid's during the semi-annual sale. I paid [$] with Personalization for Each bag. I think this was a great price and was happily suprised to see the personalization was stiched on. I would not pay full price for these bags, as you can get them at a great discount. 2 negatives are that there is no support in the bottom, and the top only ties shut. However, my wedding is a destination, and these will be perfect for 1. the BM carry on bags, and 2. beach days. No support necessary! :) I got hot pink, with hot pink and gold engraving to match my colors and it looks beautiful! A true great purchase when on sale.
Nice bag
By JAC
from ELK CITY, OK
This bag is not exactly what I expected. It is soft and flimsy. I expected it to be a little more sturdy. However, the bag seems like it would hold up. I agree with other reviews complaining about the bag not having a hard bottom, it would be so so much better if it did. It would hold up better, and it would make the entire bag look better. The dimensions are a little deceiving because i had bought bags for my bm that had the EXACT same dimensions but this bag is much shorter than the others. I do like the bag in spite of it all.
Quality Bags!!
By Katie R
from Mason, OH
I ordered 5 of these for my bridemaids! I loved all of them! I had an issue with one coming to me with the wrong monogrammed letter on it, but the knot took care of me! They sent out the correct one very quickly! This company is a pleasure to work with!!
What I expected
By shortyB
from Hilton Head Island, SC
I purchased 5 of these bags for my bridesmaids, all in different colors. I did all the letters and stitching in black. I am super pleased with the way they look. The only issue I had was that the Red actually came out to be more of a coral. Def not red. However, I kind of liked it better. Either way, it still looked really nice. Since the red wasn't completely necessary it wasn't a big deal. I even got one for myself, Bright green with pink lettering, and I love it!! I will be filling them with beach themed items (beach towel, flip flops, chapstick, etc). I am very happy with the look and even more so with the price.

Great bridesmaids gift
By older is better!
from Pittsburgh but Denver wedding
I bought this bag based on reviews. My colors came out very nice (lilac and chocolate). The bag is quite large, which is great for all the girls' stuff on wedding day. I read negative comments about the bag not having a stiff bottom. I solved that by buying foamboard (correct dimension to use is 17in x 7 1/4in))which I then covered with matching burlap. Now the bag has a removable bottom! Great price also as I got it on sale. Very worth the sale price. Also had to get one myself and for my mom.
Colorblock Tote, so cute!
By Nicole
from Philadelphia, PA
I ordered 7 of these bags for my Bridesmaids, each with their initals on them. My Bridesmaids will be in black so I did the black bag with black initals as well as the outer stitching in black. I'm very happy with the way they turned out and I know the girls will be happy as well! Also, I got them on sale! I'm filling the bags with a bunch of goodies. My girls can also use their bag on my Wedding Day to bring whatever they need.I read that someone wasn't happy because there was not a hard bottom liner, that doesn't bother me. The only thing I know will happen within time is the ribbon to tie the bag close will shred but it's a great bag and it's made well, so I don't care.

Poor Quality & Poor Customer Service
By Devastated Bride
from Washington DC
The bags are missing the hard insert for the bottom of the bag. Without this insert, the bags are useless and look cheap. After putting a small light item inside, the entire bottom of the bag sinks below the sides since there is no support. Upon contacting customer support, I was told "The picture that you see online, reflect it being on a hard surface, whereas the background was removed to promote the item". I find this extremely misleading and to say I am disappointed is an understatement. The mission of The Knot is to make wedding planning as easy and stress free for the bride as possible. It is now the week of my wedding, I am having a huge issue with an item The Knot provided, and not only are they doing nothing to resolve the issue, they are going against everything The Knot claims to stand for.
Best all-around Bag
By BeachBride2012
from Charleston, SC
I bought these for my bridesmaids and one for myself. Great deal as I got them on sale (if I were you, I would NOT pay full price). The quality is excellent, bags are big & roomy, colors matched what was online (Navy & Lt Blue). I did not choose personalization, as I wanted the BM's to choose the color they liked, plus the gifts inside were personalized. I wanted them to feel like they could use the bag after the wedding for other things (I also felt like the personalization was expensive). All in all, a great roomy all purpsose bag anyone would be thrilled to receive for a great price!

great bag

Bag is big inside
Absolutely Wonderful!
By NYE Bride to Be
from St Louis, MO
I was extremely surprised and excited by both the size and quality of these bags. My wedding was on New Year's Eve so I got my girls sparkly uggs and they fit perfectly with plenty of room for the other goodies. These bags were also really handy for the girls to carry all their beauty supplies on the wedding day. I ordered one for myself too (thanks for the recommendation girls!) I was so glad I did. I used it as my beach bag on our honeymoon and it was perfect. I personalized them with black letters & a white outline which looked great. You should get these for your girls, you won't be sorry!
Awesome, HEAVY CANVAS bag!
By Jsscamre
from Nashville, TN
I bought these fora fund raiser. They are super large bags made with heavy canvas- very spacey and great for lots of stuff.The only con is that they are a bit boxy [with a tie top] but would make fantastic totes, reusable shopping bags, beach bags, etc. WELL worth the money. High quality. Great colors!
Great Bridesmaid Gift
By cmurdock86
from Walnut Creek, CA
I waited to get these bags until they were on sale mostly because I'm on a tight budget. I ordered them in the deep navy, with both colors of thread in the navy as well. They turned out so well! I'm considering getting one more for myself. They are a great size, probably even a little big for what I am putting in them, but they will make for great bags for everyday use. I would agree with the others that have reviewed before me that using one color for both threads is the way to go. And definitely snag them when they are on sale, they are a steal! Full price, I would say that the quality is still there, but hold out if you can for the sale.
Good Bridesmaid Gifts
By bride11
from kansas
I got these for my 5 bridesmaids and got them on sale so they were only about $15 each. It was nice for the girls to have the day of the wedding to haul around all of their stuff, looking back I wish I would have bought one for myself! The one thing I didn't like was that the thread colors and the bag colors aren't the same. I wanted to get the green bag with matching green thread but that's not an option so i think they should work on that.
THEE PERFECT BAG!
By Future Mrs. Milkman
from Conshohocken, PA
I searched high and low for "thee perfect bag" to put all the gifts I got for my bridesmaids in. I did purchase another one on here and was very disappointed with the make of it, until I saw this one go on sale for [$], I couldn't pass up the price (not sure it would be worth the original price of [$] thought). I read a lot of reviews that said that they were disappointed that they didn't get themselves one so I made sure I got one for myself also. The bags are HUGE and pretty well made. They are perfect for gifts. If your going to purchase a bag on theknot, DEFINITELY GO WITH THIS ONE!!!
Love Them!
By Kadkins
from Dallas, TX
I ordered these bags after reading the great reviews, and I'm really glad I did! I only wish you could have 3 letters to have a full monogram, but I like them either way. I ordered one for myself, and I just ordered 2 more for my mom and future mother-in-law as gifts. They are bigger than I expected, and they'll be perfect for the day! I got the matching cosmetic bags, which I also like, but just know that the tan material on the bag and cosmetic bag don't match perfectly. If this would bother you, don't get both.
Great choice!
By Aaron
from Daytona Beach, FL
These bags are HUGE! They are great for holding all of the gifts for my bridesmaids, for use during the wedding planning stage, and for every day use after the wedding.Mine will be going with me to my first bridal show next month to hold all of my goodies!
