Sarah Zaroubi says I LOVE MY OIlcloth bags. Yes I own many of them and always have my eye on another one. I think my favorite part is the interior water bottle pocket. Keeps the bottle standing up straight and no worries that it will tip over and spill inside my bag.

Elie D says These two used to be Girl Scouts didn't they? Sit upons and all that? Well whatever, I love oilcloth, and the colors and patterns that these incredibly hip and stylish moms have created are wonderful -- I actually want to ask them to make a reversible bag too because I often love the inside just as much as the outside! May I also suggest that they introduce a new line called the YUM bag so that Yvette gets her name first too! btw, how they have the time to "create" such super smart and sweet kids on top of smart bags is amazing. MY vote's for MY Oilcloth.
