Madewell Textured Transport Tote

First off, I have to say I am one happy Momma right now. The Boy is home! I’ve missed him so much and it has been so hard to not have him close by. He says he’s doing well, made lots of new friends, as well as being accepted into the Fraternity he pledged. We went shopping yesterday! He said he needed a few more nicer clothes for his Chapter meetings and I was more than happy to oblige and spoil him. My heart is full!

Here is the most spot on SNL skit from this past Saturday, that rings true for not only The Boy, but all his friends coming home for Thanksgiving. Husband and I were half asleep when it came on but could not stop quoting what we could remember. As soon as we woke up this morning we searched for it online to watch it several more times. I give you “Back Home Ballers”. Use headphones and LOL!

I have been wanting a Transport Tote from Madewell for over a year. I just couldn’t decide on a color and wanted to try and get one with a promo or on sale. This year, there were several colors and styles offered including the Textured Transport Tote in Rock.

The tote was on promo and then an additional 30% off. It’s now been changed back to full-price so I was very lucky to get it. 
I love the color with the contrasting handles. I’ve been using it quite a bit filling it with everything. I took it on our beer tasting and stuffed it full with glasses, a scarf, gloves, water and other items. It was like Mary Poppins bag and never got full. 

There a single pocket on the interior that’s deep enough to hold a cell phone, lipstick, keys and a few other small items.

I am so glad I was able to find this tote. I love the color and isn’t like any color I already have. I don’t even mind the sagging at the bottom but eventually may look for an insert to put in the bottom. The only thing I regret was not being able to get it monogrammed. I’ll have to wait until the next one. 
Do you have a Transport Tote? Do you have a insert for it or just deal with the sagging on the bottom?

    I've been eyeing the leather Transport Tote and the Downing Tote for a year as well but can't decide if I need one. That one is very nice! Soooo glad your son is home, you must be so happy! 🙂

    Glad that your son is home for thanksgiving! I saw that video yesterday and it still holds true for me when I go back "home" and I'm married with kids.
