Let me start by saying, I have a shop on a popular website and I make trick-or-treating/school/lunch/whatever bags with iron-on labels. I have been buying and returning, buying and returning, for as long as I can remember. From this website, another company, Amazon--everywhere. I could not find a bag with DECENT stitching! I am very nit picky when it comes to the stitching on all items I receive, being that I am a sewer (sew-er). These are the FIRST bags I have received where the stitching is an 8 out of 10. Every single bag I received before these were -4 out of 10. The only thing I don't like about this bag, which is not a problem, really, is the gussett. I make these bags for kids and I'm not sure if a big book tote would be very versatile to them. We shall see. I'm just thankful I have finally found a GOOD bag with GOOD craftsmanship.
