Lightweight knit mini tote for winter outfits: Meda Bag

How is it as a knit mini tote for everyday winter use?

While looking for a lightweight bag to carry in fall and winter, I chose the brown color. Its warm tone went naturally with thicker winter outfits like padded jackets and knit cardigans, and it was great for adding an accent to an outfit.

What are the weight and material like?

This is a brown knit tote bag, and its listed weight is 220 g. It was a mini length that was easy to carry in one hand or tuck over my arm, and it did not feel too burdensome even when taking the subway.

The subtle knit pattern became a feature of the bag itself. It suited winter outfits even when I just casually picked it up, and I wore it with both knit outerwear and padded jackets.

How much can it hold despite its small size?

It looks small, but because it is not a rigid, boxy shape, it held belongings as the crocheted material stretched. It was good as an everyday bag for carrying only what I needed, and it was convenient not having to put things in my padded-jacket pockets.

How did I use the keyring and storage pouch?

I used it with the keyring that came with it, but I think it would also suit a favorite character keyring. Even carried without a keyring, the soft, puffy texture unique to knit material was a point in itself, and I kept it in the included pouch when storing it.

What days was it good for carrying?

It was nice to carry lightly in my hand on days when I wore a winter coat or knit cardigan. I also found myself reaching for it often on days when I wanted to add a cute touch to an outfit, like for a date.
