Kantha Weekender Bag

Super excited to receive this bag!! I'm going to visit my daughter in July and you can only get there by plane or Ferry. This bag will be perfect for the trip. We are going by Ferry. It's longer, but way cheaper! Not real crazy about the color but it's growing on me. It's bigger than I thought it would be, so that's a bonus. All over, I am very happy with the Kantha Bag. Thank you!!!

Beautiful, well made weekender/carry-on bag!

Bought this bag because it was on sale! I'm so glad I did! It's a great size, so well made with a small outside zipper pocket, a small inside zipper pocket and two inside pouch pockets. The inside lining is cotton canvas and the straps are heavy duty vegan leather. The color I received was olive green and fuscia paisley. Great bag. Worth every penny. I love it.

Hi Janet!🙂 Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review.

Darn Good Bag, of course

When I ordered the Kantha Travel Bag, I didnt expect to love it at first sight! Its honestly a beautiful bag.and I WILL be using it for traveling to my relatives houses. I know it will fit all my clothes (and knitting) for a long weekend. The material is the lightly padded Kantha fabric with the straight white lines. The colors are beautiful; greens, red, black, white. The large red rose is so pretty! Its lined with black material inside. There are 2 open pockets inside and one large zipper pocket in there too. There is a handy zippered pocket on the outside. It would be nice for plane tickets & ID, things you need quick access to.

So cute, love it!!!

Wow! They have the dimensions of this travel bag on the website, but it’s MUCH larger than I expected it to be!! No harm in that! It will soon become my yarn bag since I’m crocheting a mosaic blanket & it will be quite large! The whole bag is well constructed. All the seams are sturdy & the handles are sewn on tight. I love that one side has an entire large flower & leaves on it.

I love my Kantha Travel

I love my Kantha Travel Bag! Ive used it as Stash Bag for my Yarn&and there is still room for more yarn. My spouse asked me why I needed a Yarn Stash? Easy answer! If I need a quick gift, I can go to my stash, pick the yarn and begin the project!! In a few short hours, I have a beautiful handmade gift to give. Wrap it in Tissue Paper or use a swatch of recycled silk! Beautiful package for your friend or relative!!

Hi Connie! Thank you so much! I'm so grateful that you love your travel bag and it's because of you that we are able to support our artisans! Thank you :heart:- Lynette

Wonderful all purpose bag

This bag is the perfect size to hide my crafting stuff: crocheting, cross-stitch projects and supplies in. I love the quality and colors of this bag. I have to hide stuff from my 1yr old twin grandsons.

Nice Size

Actually, I have two Kantha Duffle Bags. The first was nice, but featured large flower petals in orange...the color I said I absolutely did not want. But, I kept it and reordered one I saw in Sam's Sale. Love it, but one of the zippers broke the first time I used it...the zipper pull came off in my hand when the little bar that secured it broke off.Glad there are two zippers! At any rate, both are being put to good use. I just would not order one again...I don't seem to have good luck with them (sadly).

When I got my first Kantha bag, my husband immediately tried to swipe it for an upcoming trip. So, I ordered him one of his own! It's a perfect size for a carry on bag!

Lovely sturdy bag

I am SO loving my Kantha bag! It's a bit bigger than I anticipated, but it has these gorgeous red flowers on it that I just can't resist! And I don't know why I'm surprised (never been disappointed by DGY EVER!), but the quality is incredible.

Duffle bag does not do

Duffle bag does not do this bag justice. This is a well- made, almost rugged, bag. The bag has a sturdy bottom and is constructed in such a way that it holds its shape when empty. There are lovely details such as welted seams and decorative patches. The zippers are large and glide easily. The straps (leather?) are sewn along the side of the bag, giving the straps extra strength. My only issue was zippering the bag when full. I had difficulty holding the bag closed with one hand while trying to pull the zipper with the other....or that could be my own clumsiness. The bag held a cosmetic bag, shampoo and conditioner, extra pair of shoes, a novel, 1 pair of jeans, 3 pairs of shorts, 3 shirts, 2 bras, 4 pairs of underwear, 2 pairs of socks, bathing suit, 2 skirts, and a robe with room to spare. Excellent value for the money.

Thank you for this awesome feedback regarding our service! We appreciate it:purple_heart:
