Lands End small and big totes questions

[holliam]

I've searched but can't find any pictures of any of you gals wearing these. Could anyone who has either, post pics of how these look in use? I cannot imagine the sizing at all.

I know there was a link once to pictures comparing a small and large and what they can hold, but I can't find it in my searching either. Anyone know what that link is?

Finally, can the small tote work for cloth diapered babes or is it just too small?

Thanks!!

I'll have my mom take a picture of me with my small tote when she comes home from work. I don't think it will work with cloth diapers though-- it's pretty small.

Here's the picture. Sorry I took so long-- I forgot-- mom brain! This picture is taken right before me, my mom, and Conner went out to dinner and my bag is packed to the max. In it I had:

Compartment 1:
1 disposable size 4 diaper (rolled up in 1st pocket)
1 sample package of wipes (in 2nd pocket)
2 4oz jars of food
1 string cheese
1 banana
small container of dry cereal
small ziploc with a spoon, disposable bib, and disposable washcloth
1 Peek-A-Block
Small stuffed animal (Conner's "baby")

Compartment 2:
Hand lotion and antibacterial hand gel (in 3rd pocket)
Package of tissues (in 4th pocket)
Cotton zolo sling
Wrist bag (w/ wallet, checkbook, 2 small ziplocs of coupons)
Light jacket for Conner
Small ziploc w/ pacifier and pacifier keeper

Secret Compartment:
Sippy cup (small Platex w/ attached handles)

Geez, it looks like I sure love ziploc bags! I had 4 in there! :)

Oh, and for reference, I'm 5'7. I always thought the bag looked super small, but in the picture it actually looks like a pretty decent size. And don't look at my face-- I have no makeup on!

Thanks, Latia. I've seen the bag IRL and even tried it on and really liked it, but seeing it on you just reinforces that again! BTW, absolutely no need to apologize--you look absolutely radiant!

That looks really cute, and you're a hot mama! :) I wasn't sure how long the straps were really going to be.. I keep trying to find a tote with shorter straps that would be used more as a handbag than a tote. I have NO shoulders and totes come flying off..

So, is yours totally packed with everything you listed or do you still have room? I am beginning to think you're right that it might not be big enough for cloth dipes...

There was no room left after I put all of that in there. It was about to explode and wasn't as easy to carry that way. Normally my only main items I have in there are my cotton Zolo sling on one side and my wrist bag on the other side, with Conner's sippy cup in the hidden compartment. I use this bag for quick errands so I don't normally carry any food items, but last night I had to carry a whole dinner for Conner and he eats a lot!
