I used one of the totes to bring some things to the office Monday morning. After packing it all up, I noticed that the stitching is coming out, so I will have to bust out my sewing box to fix it.
I guess when we bought them for 99 cents each, it stood to reason that they were made in China!

But I do like how Publix is selling the black version now. I wouldnt buy the green one, it is a little too girlie, but the black ones can be called Hipster, so i might have to break down and get some.....
