Zinney Lou Totes Review & Giveaway!

Zinney Lou Totes is an adorable online store that sells high-quality totes in a wide variety of styles and fabrics. Zinney Lou offers their totes in several sizes including scripture, small, regular, large, and diaper. Each tote is reasonably priced between $25 - $50. As you look through Zinney Lou Totes, you will notice that each tote has been creatively named to match it's appearance! Zinney Lou's goal is to offer a number of totes that are both functional and attractive!

All of Zinney Lou's totes are handmade in the USA and are held to the highest standards. Each Zinney Lou tote is made with high-quality, high thread count fabrics, extremely strong seam stitching, and a special layer of Scotchguard(TM) to extend the life of each tote. The finally step in making a Zinney Lou tote involves a strict review of each of the above aspects. "If the tote passes in every aspect of the inspection it is validated by stitching a silver button on the tote by Zinney Lou herself. As you look carefully at the totes you can see which ones meet her rigorous standards and bear the symbol of her inspection. When you see that silver button, you know that Zinney Lou has handled the tote herself and given it her stamp of approval."

The owner of Zinney Lou Totes sent me the Black Tie Affair tote to review. When I received the tote, I immediately noticed the high quality of the fabric that was used to create it. The fabric is very thick and I can tell that it will hold up to the test of time. The ribbon used for the tote I received is lovely and thick and it is firmly sewed into place to ensure that it will stay in place as long as the tote lasts. In addition to the fabric, the stitching is very strong, which will help the tote to last a very long time. One aspect that I thought was interesting about the Zinney Lou Tote is that each one is scotch-guarded. Since it is usually easier to get items dirty than clean, I am happy that I don't have to worry about that with this tote. Additionally, I really like that Zinney Lou Totes includes a number of pockets in all of their totes. Mine contained not only one, but two generously sized pockets that will definitely make organizing a whole lot easier. Finally, my tote received a silver button. I completely agree that my tote has met all the standards and actually has exceeded many of my own. Overall, this tote is very well made and it is evident that it was created with love and pride! I have to admit that I have never seen a tote that is so well made. I am impressed!

If you are looking for a tote for yourself or as a gift, I would highly suggest that you check out Zinney Lou Totes. You will not be disappointed!
