How are the Thirty-One bags?

[seethelight]

I love 31 bags. I feel like all their products do hold up very well. I have several bags that have been through a lot of rough and tumble. I did just buy the cinch sak for disney and wore it one night out with the kiddos and I had my dslr in there and the thin straps did dig into me. So I will only be hauling light stuff in that from now on.

I absolutely love Thirty-One products. I actually loved them so much that I started selling them. They are great. Their entire thermal line is very nice and keeps items cold for quite a while with an ice pack. The quality of all of their products is very nice.

I absolutely love their products...the Large utility tote is fantastic, the insulated lunch bags are a perfect size and keep things cool and I have one of their make-up bags that I really like as well. Can't say enough good things about them. Once of my friends became a rep and I was not into their stuff at first but after using them for a while, I think they're great.

Thanks for the replies, everyone! I'm especially excited to hear the thermal bags really do keep things cool. That is great to know.

I posted a while back when someone asked about what bags to use in the parks. I love 31 bags, and thought an organizing shoulder bag would be perfect along with a cinch sac for someone with older kids. Not sure which ones we will use when we go in December with our kiddos. I haven't had many problems with quality of the bags, and I've sold since January. I have done two returns on the same product, where they were both defective in the same place. I think it was just a bad batch or something.

Have you taken the plunge and tried any of them yet? Would love to hear what you think!

I love my 31 bags! I have quite a few, and I am getting ready to sign up as a consultant...I got a sneak peek at the new catalog coming out next month, some of the new patterns are AWESOME! I use the mini organizing tote inside my diaper bag, it hold 3 diapers, travel wipe case, nursing cover, cloth diaper to use as a "spit rag" small tube of desitin and hand sanitizer, when we go somewhere I grab that out of the diaper bag whenever we go into a store or something, I throw in my drink, cell phone, keys and wallet or anything else I might need. It's great, I don't have to lug around my huge diaper bag. My girls have the thermal tote for school lunch, large utility tote with lid to carry with them to dance and cheerleading. They also have different totes in their bedroom to keep their stuff organized. I have the retro metro weekender that I carry to work, it holds my workout clothes and shoes, ipod, breast pump, thermal totes, book, purse, snacks, water bottles and anything else I need to take with me. It holds all of my junk and there's plenty of room left. I use some of the mini organizing totes for hair stuff and make up in the bathroom, 1 in the baby's room for some of her stuff that I need on hand. I keep the XXL utility tote in the car and keep it stocked with a change of clothes for the kids, first aid kit, anything that I might need during sports season when we are out running all day to their activities. There are so many things you can utilize the 31 totes for! They're great, I don't think I will ever have enough 31 bags lol!

My daughter loves her thirty-one bags. She has several of the large utility totes. They use them for pool bags and each of her girls uses one for Cheerleading, dance, etc.

I sell thirty-one and absolutely love the bags and other products. I am so excited about the new products and patterns in the Fall catalog. We have a large utility tote in each of our cars as well as an about town blanket that has come in handy. I bought the fold n go organizer for our trip and am using it to hold all our confirmation #s, gift cards, MNSSHP tickets, etc

Another Fan! I have the thermal tote, lunch bags and a lot of the organizing and large totes. They make daily pool trips. The cross body bag is my WDW bag of choice. It in fact travels almost everywhere we travel. It holds everything I have to have and leaves my hand free. It's been on most rides at Disney! It does show a little more wear than I would like but it is used, and abused A LOT.

I just ordered a Large Utility Tote for our trip in October. I hope it holds up to carrying our food. We like to take snacks and bags of fruit for our room.....hopefully it'll hold up

 

[KMcCP]

this is too funny - a friend of mine is a consultant and has been trying to get me to start selling the bags. I hadn't heard of them until a day or two ago and now it seems like they're all I hear about! Glad they seem so popular, I may have to give them a second look.

 

[Jenny3]

Love their bags! Especially the Expandable Tote (perfect weekend bag) and the Retro Metro tote (love that it is soft cotton and it's a great size when you need more than a purse, but not a diaper bag).

I am personally not fan of the Organizing Tote - but only because it looks too much like a diaper bag to me. I wasn't a fan of the fabric on that one, it was very stiff.

I also have the Large Utility Tote - used it all summer as a beach/pool bag, for car clutter, to carry food, etc. It's huge and can hold a LOT. I really need another one, LOL

 

[TheRatPack]

I can't wait to get my Large Utility Tote.....I really do hope it fits all our 'snacks' we take. We used to put them in a small hamper or basket and then sit them on the table in our room. This bag will be easier to carry and much nicer to look at all week LOL

The only thing that could make it better would be if they embroidered Disney characters on them LOL

I hosted a party and my mom and I bought a bunch of Christmas presents. Between our order and the orders of my guests, I had $1000 in sales so I got about $400 worth of free stuff. Needless to say, I have a variety of things. All of them have held up well and I absolutely love the monograms on them.

I keep 2 large utility totes in the back of my SUV. I put groceries in there which makes carry them in the house so much faster. I keep a utility tote handy to take back and forth to school and one on my stairs to load with stuff to carry upstairs. I also love the little zipper bags for make up and such. I put my DD's travel thing things in there to take on the airplane and just slip it out of my carry-on when I get on the plane.

I got the large and small "cooler" bags and prefer the smaller of those two as I think the weight from the larger doesn't ever feel quite sturdy enough to hold up if I filled it to the top with things. Plus, you really should use ice packs instead of ice in them and it is hard to pack everything around the food/drinks when the bag is so big. FOr that, I prefer an old cooler where I can fill it with ice.

So many uses for all of their stuff!

I bought a bag to use as a diaper bag and then also a zipper pouch to put inside it. The lady I bought from gave me the large bag that was similar to the one I bought as a shower gift. I think they're pretty well made. Only problem is, I seem to have picked the same pattern every other person did (black and white paisley) because I see women all the time with the exact same bag!

Can you buy gift certificates for them? I think my MIL would love some of the bags, but I'd want her to pick out her own stuff.

 

[TheRatPack]

Yes I think you can buy gift certificates. I've seen Thirty-One gift certificate giveaways so you can probably contact a representative and get one for your MIL

I was at a party last weekend and bought WAAAYYYY too much stuff. The deal was once you spent $31 you got certain things in the spirit collection 50% off. So I got the metro retro bag, the fitted skirt purse, the spirit blanket and the thermal tote. I can't wait to get them.

I have seen the fall calendar and I LOVE the new paterns and there is a new camera backpack that is a hostess gift. I guess I will be hosting a party because I WANT that bag.

I have owned 2 and really...they are poorly made. Both ripped at the bottom seam within a few months. And I don't carry much in my purse - a wallet, some powder, lip gloss, mascara, my phone, and a brush.

I would NOT buy from them again.
