I have loved these woven bags as long as I can remember. Indestructible, waterproof & colorful; great for carrying caguamas, laundry, many kilos of fruit…available in sizes from wallet toting to queen sized comforter hauling. I remember a snooty wine sales rep claiming that she would use one for her samples once she got on the street (jajajaja! nice thought!)
