    The spotted one IS cotton ... Click on the 'details' tab on the link. The handles come off them and they are poorly stitched. Just trying to warn people, that's all.

    the one on the CK website might be cotton, but the link the OP posted clearly states 100% Polyvinylchloride. PVC. thanks for the warning though :)

    Just look at the pictures. it is clearly cotton, and the description is incorrect. Looks a cheap bag, but appears it will last like a cheap bag.

    doubt it, but for a re-usable CK one I think its a bargain

    Click on the close up pictures on the ASOS website. I hope you are right as a lot of people have ordered this on the belief it is not cotton ..... I too think £5.00 is expensive for a cotton bag op! LOL!

    I bought one of the spotty ones a while ago from CK. They are much flimsier than their usual bags and for those that seem confused - they are definitely thin cotton bags, no matter what the ASOS description says.

    You won't get a lot of shopping inside, and its certainly not the type of bag you can put pints of milk and tins in, but if you just want something very lightweight you can scrunch up in your handbag to put very light items in, then they are ok.

    Yes I would have bought if it was a PVC one - you can clearly see they're cotton - but the description is worng so you can return for full refund surely.
