Art to wear
I’ve loved the Bao Bao styles ever since first seeing them in museum gift shops (NYC MoMA, SF MoMA) a decade ago. Yes, they are flat and may appear flimsy upon first look, but when you fill with your things, it takes on an ever-changing origami effect that is fun and unusual. The fine mesh lining is much stronger than it appears. I wouldn’t make a habit of it, but I’ve even occasionally tucked a laptop into mine without any problems. I get compliments on my lucent tote and prism tote all the time, and they have held up well to daily use. The strap drop length is a little on the short side for wearing over the shoulder, but if I’m not wearing bulky sleeves it can be worn that way. I love that it gives a slight modern edge to whatever I’m wearing.

No Top Zipper but Large Inner Zip Pocket
I have this tote in the silver color and get tons of compliments on the color and the unique design. There is no top zipper but there is a very large inner zip pocket where I secure my wallet, cell phone, and keys.

Edgy and sophisticated
I love Issey Miyake Bao Bao series. It's such a unique and sophisticated design. I own each color and design now. I get compliments wherever I go with these bags.

Returned
The straps need to be longer, and overall the bag seemed flimsy. Not worth the price. I returned.
