Extra Large Laundry Bag, Drawstring, Color: Purple, Jumbo Size

This is a huge HUGE Laundry Bag, as you will have seen when you read the measurements. It looks exactly as it does online. Most of all it has a strong feel to the fabric and construction, thick and stiff enough to have some of the strength that a backpack has, with the same feel to it as a wind breaker, slightly satiny in its feel, and more satiny in its look. I like the Gold color I chose, because it is a balance of rich yet muted earthy antique gold.Instead of a laundry hamper, I am using a white garbage pail for now, because it fits well between the wall and toilet in my bathroom. This laundry bag fits inside of the pail, even though it is much bigger than the pail, with much of the bag remaining at the bottom of the pail. That is fine with me, because nobody sees it, it doesn't get in the way of anything, including easily putting laundry inside it, and it serves different purposes at different times, as I will explain:For functional purposes, I like folding a small amount of the top of the bag over the sides of the rim of the pail, with the drawstring closure drawn closed over it, either facing the front where I could see and easily get to it, or hiding it in the back toward the wall so it cannot be seen. The string can be left outside, but because my hamper is relatively small compared to the bag, the strings are long, so I prefer to hide them inside the pail if I leave it facing the front. Although the long strings can be cut shorter, I prefer not to, because it needs to be extra long so that the bag opens enough for putting extra large items in, such as quilts, as I will soon explain. I then place the pail's dome shaped cover on top of the pail as it normally would be, so that it secures the bag even more on the pail.In my case, the bag still shows a little bit folded over the top of the pail, so I am glad I chose a color that blends in with my bathroom, which is yellow, white and green. Since I decided to also use one in my bedroom, as I also will soon explain, the gold color also matches the beige, cream, gold, brown, and green colors of my bedroom.If I don't do laundry for a long time, and the bag gets full, I open the drawstring closure, and take the sides of the bag off of the pail, allowing the bag to stay propped up in the pail, with the domed garbage pail lid over it. Or, if it gets too high, I remove the lid, and the attractive detailed drawstring closure shows, with the white string matching the white "hamper" and other white parts of the bathroom.As I mentioned, the extra long drawstring is necessary so that I can open the laundry bag wider, especially to fit queen or king size quilts in. I prefer to put those in when the bag is fuller and propped up over the top of the pail. Better yet, just before doing a wash, I can go into my bedroom next door, take the queen or king size quilt off of my bed, go into the bathroom, take the laundry bag out of the pail, then stuff the large quilt into the laundry bag.At that point, I can even "overstuff" it if I wish, with anything I need to wash, because there is even more room in it after I remove it from the pail. Next, I can easily drag the bag over the smooth tile, carpet, and stairs, until I reach the laundry machine in the basement. Or, I can swing it over my shoulder, as there is still usually a lot of room left in the bag.I washed this bag with all my other laundry in medium to cool water, with the drawstring pulled and tucked into the bag so that it could not possibly get caught on the agitator. I have 2 (two) bags, and have washed each one of them once. They were almost dry when they came out of the washing machine. If you are using this bag to put your clean dry laundry in, it may be good to have 2 (two) if you prefer not to have to wait for it to air dry. Or, I read that they can be dried in the dryer if you want to dry it more quickly.The reason I have 2 (two) bags is that there was a problem with my first one, so the owner of the company who sells these sent me a satisfactory replacement. Inside the bag, as would be expected, there is stitching to hold the string in place on top. The place where the two strings meet each other after going around the bag, had one side which was properly stitched, yet on the other side, the gold fabric looked raw and sort of fraying from not being stitched, with a combination of no stitching and odd uneven stitching in different places. I was concerned it may unravel and that the stitching may open.The product may work and last anyway. I do know it went well through the one wash cycle as I said, but I did not want to pay so much for a laundry bag I was not sure of. I know that nothing is perfect anywhere. I kind of look at the slight variations from one bag to another as a part of it being made by different people with different hands, so that no two will ever be precisely alike. Both of my bags, meaning the old one and the new one, when I lined them up together, were the same size, even though I read that there can be slight size differences, as I expect with products like this.I am secretly glad that I have the second laundry bag, because as long as the first one does not get ruined in the washer, I have an extra one, and had I not, I now know I would have purchased an extra one by now anyway. I will explain:When I sleep, I use a comforter with a duvet next to my body, so that I can wash the duvet each week, instead of having to wash and potentially ruin over time, the quality of my comforter. (Also it may be too large for my machine and I don't want to have to wash it in a public place.) Then, to cover my bed and make it look neat and "made" during the day, and/or to make me feel warmer at night if necessary, I use a large thin queen or king size patch like quiltTherefore, I decided to use the extra laundry bag to store the quilt in, particularly when I am not using it at night, or if I don't make my bed during the day. The quilt gets dirty, from me and from my cat, so I have to eventually wash the laundry bag, since I will also be storing the quilt in that bag when it is clean. Meanwhile, it is attractive enough for me to keep propped up against a wall, next to my bed.The important thing is that this is a great product for what it is, and I have not seen anything better, especially at this size. Also, the owner of the company is very responsive, responsible, friendly, honest, very honest !! Just send him a photo of your laundry bag if you have any problems, which is the case with Amazon sellers who care about their customers and their own reputation.If anything changes as I continue to use and wash these laundry bags, I will update my review.

It's nice but was supposed to be a little larger than the laundry bags that I can get in my area. It is pretty much the same size. Still works for what I ordered it for

This bag will probably last longer than I will, because it's very heavy duty. I'm only using it to keep dirty sheets and towels in, because they take up so much room in the laundry basket. And this thing can hold a lot of sheets, pillow cases, and towels, so I imagine it'll hold plenty of regular clothes. And the fabric is thick too, so it definitely won't tear easily. I'm thinking about purchasing one to store non clothing items in it.

These were perfect for displaying my son's high school award plaques.

I needed a huge laundry bag to avoid the embarrassing laundry spillover on the way to the laundry room from my apartment. With a busy family of 4, I easily pack this bag to the max about 2x a week. This is the widest bag I could find. I like that it is white as I always wash the bag with the laundry so I don't have to worry about bleach. The quality is decent.

Lugging this around brooklyn makes us need something sturdy. We ordered two more immediately because this is very solid and sturdy.

PLENTY BIG.

One reviewer gave this bag 2 stars or something like that, and mentioned the reason being was because "No one needs a laundry bag this big!" HUH?! This is the most awesome laundry bag I have ever owned. I bought 3 of them. I now cart my comforters, bed sheets, towels and every other bulky item to the laundrymat in STYLE and EASE!This laundry bag is extremely well made, durable, sturdy, HUGE, and all of that. I couldn't ask for more aside from a reduction on the high shipping cost... that part stunk. Anyways, to the person who gave this bag less stars that it deserved; Next time read the measurements and don't order something that is larger in excess of what you need, sheesh. You give a poor review on something that works fabulous, is as described, and excellent quality just because it's too big when the product was described as being of a certain measurement.
