Simply-Bags {Review & Giveaway}

Simply-Bags is an specialty online retailer with a vast, and I do mean vast selection of bags and totes. Their bags can personalized or monogrammed and work great for yourself or make a very special gift. You will find everything from photo bags to cosmetic bags to laptop bags and so much more.

When trying to pick a bag out to review, I was a little overwhelmed by such a wide variety and it was hard to narrow my choices to just one bag. In the end I finally decided on this fun pink and brown duffle, complete with my name in pink embroidered on the front. Not only did I love the color combination but I really thought the pink crocodile detailing was a lot of fun and I really needed another workout or weekender bag.


I didn't know what to expect in terms of quality since I had never heard of Simply-Bags. I was afraid that the duffle would have a cheap, flimsy feel like many duffles I have had in the past. I was pleasantly surprised when I felt my new bag for the first time. The material is thick and soft and in no way feels cheap. There are two side pockets on the outside, perfect for holding small items like keys or a cell phone. There are also two zippered pockets on the inside. I love that there are 5 metal feet on the bottom and that added personal touch of my name. I couldn't be more thrilled!
If you browse Simply-Bags I think you will understand why I had such a hard time narrowing my choices. Here are some of my other favorites:
Isn't this lime green contemporary floral beach tote fun?
I would love this sassy red crocodile travel bag for weekend trips.

I thought this picnic cooler tote would come in very handy for trips to the beach or park with my family!

If you are a bride to be, be sure to check out their bridal section for some great options for you and your wedding party. If you are looking for something to honor a college student you don't want to miss their college bags which currently features 16 colleges and more on the way!

Simply-Bags has offered to give one of my readers a bag of their choice up to $40!
