Rainbow Swirlz Review & Giveaway!

I came across this great store on Etsy called Rainbow Swirlz and I just love it! I really like it because of the wide variety of clothing and accessories that they carry. Some of the items that they carry are tote bags, aprons, field bags, messenger bags, tunics, t-shirts, long sleeve shirts, and other fashion tops. One thing that is great about the store is that they cater to people of all shapes and sizes. To do this, they create clothing in sizes extra small up to 2X. Another thing I really love about there shop is all the fun designs they add to their products. And, to top it all off, a lot of their items have multiple colors you can choose from. Here are a few pictures of what they carry:

Alternative Green Owl T-shirt

Fall Flowers Black Alternative Apparel Hippie Top

Black Bird Java Messenger Bag

Butterfly Blast Black Tote Bag

The owners of Rainbow Swirlz offered to tell me a bit about their shop and their family. Here’s what they said, “Rainbow Swirlz is owned & operated by Mendy & James. We are super cute & married! This business is our lives! We both run Rainbow Swirlz full time, from a spare bedroom in our duplex! Rainbow Swirlz is going on 5 years now & we hope to expand into a shop away from our home soon! We are both completely obsessed with crafting/silk-screening & working, all the time! We have a BEAUTIFUL 5 month old daughter, Annalee. We've already started her very own shop! Which you can find at: http://www.annaleefashion.etsy.com/. Annalee loves to sit in her bouncy chair & watch us work! We would love for her to carry on Rainbow Swirlz when she's older!”

Review
The owners of Rainbow Swirlz sent me their wonderful ‘Butterfly Blast Black Tote Bag’ to review. After looking at the details of this bag, I have to say I am impressed. For the price ($10), this is a great tote bag. On the inside of the tote, I noticed that there is a tag that says that a company called Bag Edge actually makes the tote bag, not Rainbow Swirlz. Rainbow Swirlz is only responsible for putting the images on their products. As for the quality of the bag, it does not have super thick fabric but the fabric definitely is not thin either. I can tell that it is thick enough to hold strong for quite awhile. This bag is 15x16’ and is the perfect size to carry around books or magazines. Another aspect of the bag that I really liked was the pattern. The image that was printed on the bag has a wonderful design and looks very professional. The only one thing I noticed that was different from the description online and the actual bag itself was that the picture online shows the image on the left hand side of the bag. However, the bag I received had the image on the right hand side of the bag. Other than this small (cosmetic) difference, I really love the bag overall; I will definitely get a ton of use out of it. After seeing the quality of tote bags that they offer, I would not hesitate to purchase other items from Rainbow Swirlz!

What is the prize? The owners of Rainbow Swirlz have been kind enough to offer the winner of this giveaway a choice of any of their totes (up to a $10 value). They have a ton of great patterns and colors to choose from!
