When I discovered TB a few ago, I didn't really understand the fuss around these shopping bags, and I found them expensive for what it was (in Europe you get them for very cheap at any shops, and they last forever). However, I did buy one, one day and....I understood!
Apart from the fact that the shopping bag looks gorgeous (if like me you love Halcyon - in any color) , it has for me 2 main qualities:
- it has the right size, not too big and not too small for groceries. You can truly fit a lot in there, especially because you can open it so widely, BUT it also does not get too heavy, something which happens all the time with my regular shopping bags from my local supermarket (there are big, you fill them up, and they weight a ton),
- the second huge advantage is that thanks to the padded handle the shopping bag is super comfy to carry.
As a consequence, I use it for many other things: at the gym or swimming pool (in our ancient world), bring my stuff in the shower when camping, etc etc...Even as a big hand bag sometime.
I have bought 4 so far (offered one to my mum), and wish I could buy another one in solaris or any other new halcyon color. A month ago for the first batch displayed, they went out of stock in no time :( So please please, continue producing them :)
