Beautiful, but impossible to wash
I loved this bag and used it for milk storage with an icepack when I was pumping. Unfortunately, the first time that some of the milk leaked inside was the last time I was able to use it. I tried hand washing, which really wasn't enough and it took so long to dry that it started to smell like mildew. I was pretty disappointed since this tote was not cheap.
