I opened 2 others and took them shopping and they held up well with the groceries

I can mend it (and did) but seeing how much use the little pocket gets i don't expect it to hold up for too long

However i read in reviews that they are a bit tricky to open and close, so i practiced on one before i went to the store

These are nice and i love using them instead of bringing home a whole bunch of plastic bags i won't use
