This isn't the LL Bean heavy duty canvas totes. It's a basic cotton muslin bag with no gusset or darts.Pros:The rectangular shape is not crooked. The handles were sewn secure (the X stitching). The handles' length is even (about 10" drop). The seams were anti-fray stitched.Cons:The tag inside says "Promotional Product; Not Meant To Be Washed". WTH? I can't wash this bag? I bought it to try indigo dye. Also, isn't promotional product supposed to be free? This bag is about $6. I think the seller should sell these with bulk discount (buy more, pay less per item).For my height (5'3"), hand holding the bag, its bottom almost hits the ground (without weighing the bag down). If you are taller, you can hand hold this bag with weight. It is definitely too long for children to carry it by hand (shoulder carry would be ok). Anyhow, regardless what the tag says, I am going to get this in the water. If it is ruined, it sets me back one Carl's Jr hamburger.
