Reisenthel Product Name and Product Number
the new Mini Max Acme bag...why would you/they put a hard kind of paper material tag on the pocket? I did not have scissors and tore it off...which took the stitching too...unless the tag is removed by the manufacturer, I will not buy again and will not recommend to friends.

I bought this backpack for school and I am really enjoying it. It is very light weight and feels good to carry my books around in it. I will probably buy another one in a different color.

terrific little pack
I use this pack when I go to the flea market. It is lightweight when empty, but holds a lot of stuff and is good and strong. Will be ordering one for my husband too and one for a gift for my sister.Very happy with it.

I bought to use when going to the farmers market. One of the zipper tabs broke off first time using and find also find the zipper catches on flap covering zipper. Would not buy again.

Great little backpack!
I bought this with the built-in stow-pocket in mind (which is great) but I use it so much, I rarely pack it up! Great size- not too big or too small, perfect little day-pack. Great simple design- no unnecessary bells and whistles, and it weighs next to nothing. I carry around everything in it from large 3-ring binders to several bottles of wine or just my lunch.

Excellent backpack
The best product I've purchased from you guys! Amazingly fits more than you would expect it to. For those times when you're going to the grocery store "just to get a couple of things" and end up buying more.

I'm really pleased with the backpack - my husband
I'm really pleased with the backpack - my husband and I have not used it yet, but will do so on a trip to Paris (for those impromptu lunches in the park or trips to the market) later this month. I'm really pleased with the size both open and packed.

I purchased this bag in raspberry for my daughter
I purchased this bag in raspberry for my daughter to use at daycare and love it so much that I bought one for myself a few months after. The bag folds to nothing. When opened it really holds a lot (small blanket, crib sheet, and a nap time toy) and still has lots of room for me to stuff a Mimi the Sardine lunch bag into it and even a windbreaker. I did have to fold the straps up and secure them with packaging tape to make the bag short enough for my 2 year old to carry. This bag is the only zippering bag that fits in the bin under my small Chico stroller. This is very important as I don’t want something hanging from the stroller in plain sight when we visit amusement parks or the mall. It’s so much nicer carrying this than a diaper bag.

I ordered 3 mini maxi backpacks together with 2 pa
I ordered 3 mini maxi backpacks together with 2 pack n\'notes. However, I only received the pack n\'notes, and the 3 backpacks were missing. I was so furious and complaint to customer service. The person-in-charge was very polite & helpful, and they sent the replacements to me immediately. Finally I got these beautiful backpacks and my daughters like them so much. Thank you for your excellent products & professional service.

The backpack is exactly what I hoped it would be
The backpack is exactly what I hoped it would be. I use it to carry things on day trips to the zoo, park, pool or whatever with the kids. I like that it is not big and bulky so I can carry it around for long periods of time without feeling like it is getting heavy. I would just like to suggest more of a selection in the way of colors. Black was the only one I liked so that is what I bought. I would buy a few more for other family members if they came in solid colors like sunshine yellow, red, blue and/or grey. Thank you!

I have had the Recycled PET Drawstring Shopping Ba
I have had the Recycled PET Drawstring Shopping Bag for a few months now and have been quite satisfied with it, however, I needed something that could carry a little heavier loads, so I ordered this Mini Maxi backpack. I like the feature that allows you to fold it into itself (which has the footprint of a small book), however, if I had to choose between this and the drawstring bag for when it comes to general shopping, then I'd go with the drawstring bag. It is much easier to pack and easier to store in your pocket, but for heavier loads, I would definitely use the Maxi Backpack.

Not sure if I got a faulty item but one of the straps on this backpack ripped almost completely off the last time I used it. It made the trip into the city really inconvenient. I didn't exert that much pressure on it so be careful with these.
