Have you heard of Cuddle Monkey bags?

Cuddly Monkey was born in the heart of Soho in the design studio of Stag&Hare, a team of brand strategists and designers with a passion for creating and exploring. The current selection of totes range from $68 to $94 retail value.

The new collection of Cuddly Monkey tote bags are the definition of stylish but functional fun — perfect for any stylista on the go. On the outside, the durable 100% cotton canvas makes the bag useful for any outing. On the inside, the vividly designed cotton linings prove that Cuddly Monkey isn't your basic tote bag — it's the tote for every lifestyle, from the inside out!

OUR CUDDLY MONKEY BAG

We were sent the very fabulous Chica bag from Cuddly Monkey in black. The bag is sturdy, well made and I love how well lined it is.

My intention was to carry it as a bag for my pool stuff (water bottle, sunscreen, NOOK, magazines) as I wanted something separate from what the kids carry. However, the bag is so cute and I have gotten so many compliments on I that I have started carrying it every day as a purse.

I love that I can grab a few extra things like my iPad or netbook and everything fits in in perfectly. This truly is a bag that can be carried everywhere.

Now you know you want to win one, right?
