The replacement tote bag I bought a few years ago basically fell apart. It developed a ginormous hole where it rubbed against my hip, and the handles started shedding strings almost at once and for the last two weeks one was down to the two threads that had been the stitching holding the two sides together. So I brought its replacement into service before it could actually let me down in the middle of the street. New one is brown because that colour was on sale.
