Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Lantern Moon Provence Seagrass Tote with linerCustomer Review: Very attractive but it needs a better closure at the top Summary: 4 StarsI absolutely love the look of this Provence bag from Lantern Moon - it is even more attractive IRL than in photos - but it has a couple of issues. First of all, this bag is pretty small, and it is not large enough to hold 14" knitting needles. This isn't a problem for me but might be for someone else. It's a bag for projects like socks and thin scarves, not sweaters or even a thick scarf.
For me, the big problem is the lack of an appropriate closure mechanism. The ties at the top of the bag are too thick to tie tightly. This means the bag is always at least slightly open unless I'm holding it by the handles. As a result, small items occasionally "escaped" before I started using a Namaste Notions Buddy (in charcoal to coordinate with the bag) to contain them.
I thought perhaps I was simply not aware of how to use the ties correctly. So when I went to a warehouse sale at Lantern Moon last night, I took my Provence bag with me and asked one of the Lantern Moon employees to show me how to tie it correctly. She fumbled with it for a minute or so, then she told me the bag wasn't designed to be closed tightly.
