Sponsored: Tote Bag with Crocodile Veins from Sammydress

I’m sure quite a few bloggers have heard of Sammydress, right? I’ve seen a lot of bloggers getting pretty decent items from their website, but I was still unsure because it is online shopping after all… you really never know what you are going to get. When they contacted me about reviewing one of their items, I was excited!

I’m definitely a try before you buy kind of girl. Unfortunately, most of the clothing on Sammydress is a little too small for me because they use Asian sizes. Free size usually equates to a medium back in the US. I have the same problems here in Korea, though I do get lucky every once in awhile.  Sometimes the baggy style is trendy and you can find dresses that can fit up to a US size XL! I decided to play it safe though and got a super cute black tote bag with crocodile vein detailing.

The bag sells for around $12, which I think is average compared to other places selling bags that aren’t name brand. I wasn’t totally in love with the bag when it first arrived, but after I wore it a few times I loved it! Initially, the bag actually had a very strong smell that I didn’t find pleasant… after leaving it out on my balcony for a few days it wasn’t a problem anymore. I think because it is packaged tightly in bubble wrap and it is newly manufactured so the smell is strong when you first open it.

The bag itself is very roomy and and it doesn’t look cheap at all. I took it out while shopping and the optional shoulder strap was really convenient and easy for me. I like to wear my bags this way personally so I can be hands free!

Q: What do you think? Would you use this bag?
