The Weight of My Expectations Puffer Tote Bag - Lilac

After thinking about it for many weeks I finally got this bag! The lilac color is really dreamy and unique and it does fit all my dance things (I usually pack my 1L Stanley waterbottle, 2 pairs of shoes, and dance jacket/change of clothes if I am competing). Love the nifty little pockets which fit my rubberbands, hairbands, and resistance bands.

My main gripe about this bag is that the exterior material started pilling almost immediately 😅 Also, stains do show up easily on the light fabric, and since it can only be spot-cleaned according to the washing instructions, you do end up having to baby it a fair bit. So if you’re looking for the ideal workhorse dance bag to throw around, this may not be it for you :)

That said, it truly is a lovely and cushiony bag that I would recommend!

Finally got it and all my friends loved it. This puffer tote truly carries the weight of my expectations, my ballet shoes, my half-eaten snack, and my questionable life choices. It's soft enough to cry into between rehearsals, yet sturdy enough to survive being thrown into the studio corner after a particularly savage grand allegro.

Spacious? Yes. Emotionally supportive? Also yes. The name engraved on it says what I’m too tired to: I had dreams. I still do. They're just... heavy.

Would I recommend it? Absolutely. It's the emotional support bag I didn’t know I needed. 10/10, would lug my existential crises in it again. Thank you so much.

I love this bag! It's so cute. It's a good size and well made

So in love!! Besides being breathtakingly witty and pretty, this baggo also feels like a cushion! I frequently find myself mindlessly patting / hugging it whenever I bring it out. The zipped pocket for phones is awesome too! My first C&V purchase, will be back for more ❤️😍
