I bought one of these totes to use as a beach and travel bag. I examined it for flaws after reading reviews and reinforced what I thought might be weak spots but really liked it so when it wrnt on sale bought 2 more . They were both physically perfect and I put them on in my other travel,bag in the . The other day noticed odd smell like cat pee and all eminating from those bags . They made everything in that bag , which wad ready for tossing anyway smell. Had to hand soak and hang everything else, buy half a dozen stickups for my closet , and throw out a few things. They smell ok now and are a great size but before you use them, smell them (my fiirst one smelled ok) if smelly ,handwash in strong anti odor detergentsand hang dry.
I wrote asked for washing advice, clueless, Id thrown away tags, but gave me refund that they could have avoided wiyh better info. But thanks.
