I first read about Rootote bags on Karen Cheng's blog. They looked so cute, and so roomy that I was raring to give it a try.
The first bag I bought was RT Medium Plain Sumiro.
I absolutely LOVED it! It's made of tough ol' canvas, and oh so convenient with the large inner pockets to hold my mobile phone, mints, hand sanitiser, tissues and a pen. It's even got a Roo pocket (adapted from the kangaroo's pouch), which is an external zippered pocket which allows easy access to your keys, wallet or mobile phone. I normally chuck my iPod and earphones in there.
I bring this with me when I'm shopping, heading to the library, meeting up with friends for lunch, etc. It's amazing how much stuff I can put into the bag. I can never go back to using small handbags, not with the amount of junk I carry with me everyday ;)
Another Rootote I have is the RT Medium Luxe Prairie. The handles are slightly shorter than the Sumiro's.
I'm lemming for a Tall Rootote now. Oh decisions decisions.
Shipping is free to Australia. Rootote charges a flat fee of AUD12 to Singapore, Malaysia, USA and New Zealand. Oh and you can also enjoy a AUD10 off your next order of AUD50 or above. Just enter code PL7GC4SW during checkout. This offer is valid till 30 September 2008.

Tine, I LOVE THEM! I love spacious bags! and i want them!!!!
argh! I've been wanting a roo tote ever since I saw it on Karen Cheng but I think shipping turned me off. I'm going to reconsider now :P
Those are cute tote bags! Too bad they don't sell them in stores in the states.
the bags are so cute!!! btw, will things drop out from the top? i feel insecured with bags without zipper...
oh i totally wanted it after reading about them in karenchengs. But i thought the price was kinda steep.
But taking a closer look at yours, i think the material as well as the quality kinda justifies. You lucky gal u live in aussie!!
I'm surprised at how well lined the inner side of these totes are. But yeah, I'm one of those who feels terribly insecure without a zipper over my bag. Knowing how clumsy I am, I'm just gonna drop everything and make a complete fool outta myself. :P
I checked out the website after looking at your post. Looks fab! Might just get it. =) Thanks for the tip! I need heaps of space in my bag too particularly on my weekend outings...hehehe =)
Hi Tine, we will be selling these on Tiny Tapir soon :) They're fabulous totes, and that's coming from someone who doesn't usually like totes.
