Tools of The Trade Tuesday
Teacher Tote Series
31 Bags
make the best teacher totes around! In the next few posts, I will review the 31 Bags products I currently use.
As many
of my friends and colleagues know, 31 bags are a new trend in the world of
teaching and the sales parties modeled after Mary Kay, Avon, and Tupperware
offer opportunities for socializing and shopping.
Teachers
are always toting items back and forth from home to school and while there are
many products available for just that purpose, what could be better than
stylish, durable, and affordable totes teachers can customize to fit their
needs?
This past
summer one of my good friends invited me to her house for a 31 Bags party. She
explained that it was something new that she had seen a few teachers carrying
around and had a friend that sold them. So-always interested in hanging out
with friends and finding good deals on pretty things- I went and was immediately
blown away by what I discovered.
31 bags
are perfect for teachers! They have so many styles and products to choose from
and the most important part- they are so well made. After looking at the
samples, going through the catalog and listening to the representative's
sales pitch, I was pretty impressed.
Another
great aspect of this line is the opportunity to get customized embroidery done
for only $7 bucks! They have a huge selection of prints and embroidery thread
colors so everyone can get something that suits them perfectly.
Teacher Tote:
 |
| Tote Bag |
- Two in front and three in back
- Two net pockets on each side of bag (great for holding an umbrella)
 |
| 3 Back Pockets |
 |
| Net Side Pockets on both Sides |
 |
| Plenty of Interior Space |
 |
| Straps |
- Heavyweight straps and reinforced sewing helps keep it strong for heavy loads
- The interior is plenty roomy for multiple binders, files, and all the other little teacher junk I end up carrying around.
- Really cute embroidery- like dot writing. I chose my initials in a great turquoise color that complements the fabric perfectly.
- Oh Yeah- the inside of the fabric is pretty smooth and easy to wipe out with a damp cloth in case of ink markings or spills- another plus!
I have been using this bag for about 6 months now and there is no visible wear and tear.
Check back next Tuesday and I'll review another of 31's great bags.
I would love to know if you own any 31 bags and if so what your opinion is. Go ahead and comment below if you have some thoughts to share.
I am a certified teacher, and I own quite a few Thirty-One products including the Organizing Utility Tote. I put a small file box inside of my tote to keep things from getting out of place or messed up. I also put in a zipper pouch and a mini zipper pouch for small things or personal belongings. For lunch, I have about 4 thermal totes and one cinch thermal that are great! Oh, and one thermal even lasted through one of our dogs trying to get into it! The newest catalog is all about organization, and they have some super cute things in it!I have gotten most of my products through having parties, and it really helps when you have a close family member who is a Thirty-One Director. If you have any questions or concerns about products her website is www.mythirtyone.com/neata
ReplyDeleteYes, I had to throw that out there. In all seriousness, all of the Thirty-One products that I have gotten are great for the teacher/classroom! I would recommend them to anyone any time!
