Comments about Lillian Vernon Kids' Classic Cotton Tote:

I purchased this tote for my daughter for preschool. She only carried the bag two days a week. After about a month the stitching and material on the straps started to unravel. She still used the bag the remainder of the year but we would have to cut or pull off the annoying strings on occasion.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Kids' Classic Cotton Tote:

All of our grandchildren have this tote and love it. When I purchased 2 of them, I thought I was getting the same quality as previously but was disappointed to see that the personalized name is no longer embroidered on..it is stamped on. I would have paid more to maintain that quality in the tote or would have preferred to be given a choice as to a stamped name or embroidered.

Disappointed Grandmother

Comments about Lillian Vernon Kids' Classic Cotton Tote:

I've used this bag nearly everyday for two years for my son's diapers, food, wipes, change of clothes, toys, books, etc. We take it to daycare, on trips, to the mall, etc. I have two expensive diaper bags that never leave the house. I've washed and dried it many, many times and it still looks great.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Kids' Classic Cotton Tote:

I bought one for each of my little girls. We've used to take to pre-school, for gymnastics and ballet. My older one loves that it has her name on and comes in her favorite colors. For my 20-month old, we've used to hold diapers and changes of clothes in places that I think it won't get dirty. I don't use for everyday, but on special occasions.

I love the bright colors!

Comments about Lillian Vernon Kids' Classic Cotton Tote:

This is my second purchase of this bag. This is a great bag for little ones that want to be big and carry their own things. It is just right for a change of clothes, 2-3 diapers, wipes, sippee cup and little toys. It is easy for little hands to hold and soft enough that it doesn't break or mark things when the bag bumps them. Both of my grandsons love their bags.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Kids' Classic Cotton Tote:

My 4 year old was so excited to get her own special bag with her name on it. I also got two more for gifts for my friend who just had a baby so the baby and her big sis could have matching bags. My only complaint is the stick on lettering, which I'm sure will come off after washing or over time. Stitched lettering would have made this the perfect bag.

Everyday, Great for swimming stuff

Describe Yourself:

Bottom Line:

Comments about Lillian Vernon Kids' Classic Cotton Tote:

This is a great bag that the kids can carry themselves and I had it personalized so each of my 3 kids have their own bag and they can identify it easily. It if the perfect size for a beach towel, extra clothes and other pool items, great for school items too or short one night sleep overs. Outer pocket is handy for small items like goggles, or toothbrush/toothpaste.

This bag is cute

Primary use:

Personal

Pros:

Attractive, Good Strap Length

Cons:

Not big enough

Best Uses:

Running Errands

Describe Yourself:

Comfort-oriented, Practical, Somewhat stylish

Bottom Line:

Comments about Lillian Vernon Kids' Classic Cotton Tote:

I bought this bag so that I can replace the diaper bag with this bag. It's so cute, but the quality doesn't seem that great. I liked the other personalized tote bag they have much better, but the only color they were offering it in right now is Pastel..and I have a boy. So I got this one as an alternative. It's not that bad, but for the quality, it could be priced a little less.

Cute and durable

Items Fall Out

Best Uses:

Everyday, Running Errands, Toy Bag

Bottom Line:

Comments about Lillian Vernon Kids' Classic Cotton Tote:

I ordered this bag for my daughter when she was a small baby. At two years old, she calls this "my bag." We use it mainly as a small toy bag for trips, though it is big enough to hold her largest books. It doesn't have a zipper so it's not good for all uses but it's easy for her to put her toys away and the right size for her to carry.
