Petunia Pickle Bottom Altogether Tote



If you are looking for a gorgeous tote, or even a larger cross-body bag then this bag would be a great option for you!  I like that it can hold a lot without looking really big and bulky.  The bag keeps its shape nicely and there are a lot of extra features that make this an awesome tote.


There is an optional messenger strap which it wonderful if you want to throw in on cross-body and be hands free.  Like I mentioned, it is not bulky against your body and even when it's full it is easy to carry this way.  The tote handles are a really good length with a little bit of padding to them, so they are a thumbs up in my book:) 


The back zippered pocket is the only pocket on the outside of the bag.  It is a great place to fit your phone, keys, chap-stick, and other smaller essentials. The fo-leather pulls and the silver hardware are a nice touch to the look and feel of the bag.


The bottom has great sized feet for protection, but with this light yellow color I would still be careful putting it on the ground.  It definitely could have used a fifth foot in the center to help with that since the base is a larger size.


The interior is nice and spacious with pockets surrounding the entire bag.  There are six similar sized slip pockets and no zippered pockets.  I love how the top of the pockets have the yellow fabric so you can really see where the pockets are at.  I wish there was a zippered compartment for smaller items, but you can always use some sort of organizational pouch for those kinds of things.  I also really like that this bag has a structured base so that everything stays in place and it doesn't get all thrown around in there:)


This particular bag comes with a matching changing kit for all your diapering needs.  I love this because it is similar to the Be Quick that I have been loving that to hold all my diapering stuff.  It is nice to just grab the changing kit instead of the whole diaper bag sometimes.


The top has nice wide panels so that when the bag is unzipped the sides lay flat giving you an open tote feel.  when it is zipped up the larger panels also give you more packing space without the back looking stuffed.

Overall this bag is great if you need lots of space, but you don't want to sacrifice style.  I could see myself using this bag just as a regular tote even when I don't need to carry diapers anymore.  It is a great quality product and I have really enjoyed it:)
