"Great material and colors"

This is a lovely mat bag, well made and pretty. Only issue I had was that my new mat is thicker than usual and does not fit this bag well even when rolled up very tightly. An extra 2 inched in diameter would have served to fit more mat brands.

"Perfectly Sized & Well Made"

I was looking for a small, zippered pouch to keep a variety of items contained in my tote as I traveled. These work beautifully for phone and IPad cords, keys, and small travel items.

"Proud to Wear This Brilliant Scarf"

Crimson Mystique scarf has deep wine-red stripes set off by narrow strands of gray-blue, cream, and black. Its very striking and the weaving is meticulous. Having often lent to the women Maya weavers on Kiva, Im so happy to find a source of their art to further help them improve their families lives. Thank you!

"Excellent Craftmanship"

Love this bag. Prefer the pull string top to some of the side zippers in the store, easy to get mat in and out. Side pocket is great for keys, glasses, other things I want out of the way.
