Chala Carryall Zip Tote, Canvas Handbag, Top Zipper, Animal Prints

Attention all pugaholics. This bag is fabulous. First of all, it is very well made, sturdy, and seems built for heavy use without much wear. The decorative pug pocket is functional and also seems built to last. Also, this canvas bag has a zipper to close the bag and several outside pockets to complement an extremely generous interior to the bag. See the image below with an actual life size pug to get a feel for how ginormous this bag is. The inner pocket is perefect to contain the chaos of all those pens and your cell phone and keep them from getting lost in the abyss of the large main compartment. I’ll be using the bag for dog trials and class, but you can easily use it as an actual very large purse. Thanks Chala for making quality, cute pug stuff chic.

This tote bag was a gift for a new teacher. She loved the tote and all the pockets for organizing her supplies. She said it was the perfect size and the quality was very nice.

Love my Chala bags and this is no exception. Well made, whimsical, and get lots of comments! I used to have alpacas so this has some special meaning for me. The size of this bag is great. I bought a felted insert and all of my items stay organized and easy to find. Great for trips too.

I was looking for a new Chala purse ( as I’ve had my current one for 8 years).I ordered this, and it is too big for a daily purse( it is a tote as it says).But I love it, so I’m keeping it.We are planning a 3 week road trip and this is going to be where I put the dog snacks and toys and leashes/harnesses for easy access.Once that trip is over, I’m going to put it to use as one of my shopping bags. We live in a state where you need to bring your own bags for groceries and general shopping. So it will get lots of use.It’s quite sturdy… and will hold a good amount of items.

This is a very large bag. The "carryall" in the name is an apt description. It makes a great beach tote or overnight bag. If you are the type of person who needs to bring a lot with you everyday, it works really well. I have four young children, and I carry a ton with me everywhere we go, so it's kind of a purse/diaper bag for me. Wallet, phone, water bottle, diapers and wipes, snacks, extra clothes (occasionally), small first aid kit, read-aloud book, paper, crayons, it ALL fits. I admit carrying a "mom purse" is a little like driving a minivan, in that there's a bit of a stigma associated with it. It's not "cool" according to some people. However, I'd say this bag eliminates the uncool factor. It's just so cute!I did get an organizer for the inside, and that's a big help so everything doesn't end up in a pile in the bottom. If I'm on my own or on a date night with my husband, I prefer something smaller and lighter, but for everyday mom life, it works perfectly.

This is my new favorite brand of handbags! I saw them in a boutique in a high-end hotel/spa and instantly fell in love. This style is one that they did not have at the boutique, but I love the stripes. The canvas fabric is heavy and feels good. I would love for it to be lined like some of their other styles and to have several more interior pockets, but even with that I would definitely buy it again. I’m already deciding on which Chala bag I’m going to order next. If you like large bags with a fun and quirky design, this bag is definitely for you. The alpaca is absolutely adorable. I think it needs a matching wallet.

Very cute and well made, I use it daily as my work tote, holding up well. Like the two outside pockets on each end, my water cup and coffee cup fits nicely in them and frees my hands as I'm going from car to building.

I've purchased Chala bags before and have always been happy with the designs, workmanship and value. This is now my new favorite bag as it is roomy enough to carry everything I need. My only wish would be an interior zipper pocket to keep some items more secure than just an open pocket.
