I received a pitch a month ago about the opportunity to review and host a giveaway for this awesome environmental friendly (and gorgeous looking!) bags and I immediately replied with a big YES! I mean, review and also host a giveaway of this to one of my lucky follower, why not? Right? Anyway, here goes my review for the "Envirosax - Cherry Lane Bag 3":

I requested for the "Cherry Lane Bag 3" and when I got it, I went 'Wow! It's so small!' Definitely convenient to put in my diaper bag and use when I needed to!
The bag has an easy to follow instructions on how to fold it back once you unfold it but for someone like me, who ehem... really has no time to read and follow the steps (until I got stuck that is whoopsss!), I basically just fold and fold until it became small enough for me to snap back the buttons together. And that's when I realised, hey, this is easy to fold back as well!
Although it stated that it can carry 20kg load, I did not try it out (hey, then again, the last time I weighed Ben about few months ago he was around 13kg? Maybe.......)
I love the long and wide handles of the bag, perfect for me to sling it on my shoulder and I love the beautiful floral designs as well! One thing I'm not comfortable with is the snap buttons which are located at the bottom of the bag, it just felt weird to me, can't explain why... I think it would be better if the snap buttons with the small straps are located at one of the side of the bag.
Other than that, I also noticed the bag came with a water resistance feature, so I told myself I have got to try the bag out when we have the chance to go swimming hehehe... and no sooner that I thought of that, we have the chance to go swimming at my sister in law's club. Yay!
Yep, the top 2 pictures was my hubby carrying the Envirosax, walking with Ben on our way to the swimming pool. I actually stuffed my 2 kids swimming suits (hubby and I had ours on already) and 3 towels with some bathing products in the Envirosax bag. And yes, after we swam and showered and I stuffed all 4 of our swimming suits and wet towels back into the same bag, it is still dry on the outside, so water resistant feature tested OK!
The bottom 2 pictures are taken on a different occasion, you can see 2 iPads inside and some of my kids clothing inside the Envirosax bag which I slung over our stroller. Nice!
In summary, a very good bag to have around, can be depended on in wet and dry situations, and while you look chic and gorgeous with the bag, you also help with the environment as well as you can reuse over and over and over again!
Awesome!
