    This one is said to be cotton but is not - must have the descriptions mixed up.

    If it's not what you want then ASOS do free returns (via Post Office or Collect+) and their turnaround time for refunds are extremely quick - unlike some other online stores *cough*Arcadia Group*cough*.

    I remember making little bags like these out of cotton remnants when I was about 8 years old. Why on earth grown women would pay money for bags that look like they've come out of the dressing-up box, is beyond me. Herd mentality maybe?

    Why people feel the need for catty comments or sarcasm is beyond me.....if its not what you want then don't buy, BUT let others make their own minds up without the need to justify themselves !!!!

    I'm hope some people are pleased with their bags, I went for the chicken one in the end as I thought it was fun. ( Well actually my 6 year old son chose it, as he has just pointed out!).

    I hope people aren't disappointed with the quality, but at least Asos will accept them back for a full refund if you are. I do have some Cath Kidston Tesco shopping bags that are still going strong after a few years, and would expect the spotty bag to be of a similar quality rather than one of her oilcloth bags for example.

    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.
    will have a go for a £5, can never afford her stuff, so lets see.
    the reason im replying to your post is that i LOVE the shoes in your picture :T
    I love this site and all chums, but its making a dent in my bank account!!!

    Have lots of things I want, but dont necessarily need... Must DO BETTER!!! :A

    I bought two Orla Kiely cotton shopping bags from Tesco and they have been brilliant; smart, strong and colourful. Plus some of the money went to charity.

    Hmmm think you might be right, I only want it if it's as description. but at least will get it delivered now and take a look. Moooooooo??
    It's called having some style! :)
