I going to have to clean out one of the closets in my house. We have a huge closet in the hallway that is supposed to serve as a “linen” closet. And it does, I suppose. It holds the plethora of air matresses, quilts, comforters, blankets, and lace tablecloths (gifts, never used. I’m waiting until I’m at least 85) that we NEVER use. Really, I could have one extra set of sheets for each bed and then a couple of quilts for company, and STILL only take up the top shelf. I mean, I probably wouldn’t NEED to clean it out if I didn’t need room to store all of my bags. Not that all of my posts on handbags, purses, and totes (oh my!) didn’t clue you in… but I’m slightly obsessed. It’s reached the point where I’m running out of room to put them all.
It’s not often that I can purchase a product that I love and also support the arts at the same time. Scratching your head yet? Nankeen creates stylish bags, pillows, ties, cosmetic bags, and other accessories that are created from 100% cotton and indigo dye using a technique that dates back to the Song Dynasty over three-thousand years ago. It is literally an ancient art form turned into modern design. The white sections that you see on the bag are created by pushing a paste made of soya bean flour and slaked lime through a handmade stencil. Once the paste dries, the fabric is dipped into indigo until the desired color is acheived. Once the fabric is dry, the paste is scraped off to reveal the white designs. The fabric is then washed and ironed before it is used to create the bags and other products that you see here.
I was able to review the Lily Tote, which I absolutely fell in love with. It is sturdy but roomy, and I love the bright pink interior. The jumbo knot serves as a hook to close the top, but still leave it open enough for things to stick out of it, should that need arise. For instance, on a recent flight home, my bag was 11 pounds over the limit. I had filled my Lily Tote with my laptop, a sweater, some books and a magazine, but then I was forced to put additional inventory in it. So I walked through the airport in a sweater with two coats on top, holding my Lily Tote that now had bright pink ballet flats, jeans, and a hairdryer (in addition to the aforementioned items) sticking out of the sides. Thank goodness for that knot closure!

I looked through the site and the bag I like is the “Becket”, Big Bag. But of the totes I do like the “Lilly” best.

I think the best way to spice up someones day is to walk in with a bag that will not be ignored. I think the reef bag is that bag. I must say, I can’t keep my eyes off that bag, no matter what! I hope I don’t affect work habits!
i heart the blue bags:)
Lily is such a beautiful tote. I love the blues and whites on the outside and the splash of color on the inside.
I love the Lily bag :)
nice, nice every girl needs one.
I’m crazy over the Urban Derby Tote. What more could I ask for? It’s my favorite color (blue) has horses and leather handles with a drop strap and leather closure on it. This is the one for me!
Even though I LOVE the yellow lining of Ming, I’d have to go with the Lily tote. I love the pattern and it looks big enough to fit my things plus a few diapers-wipes as well.
All the bags are great. I love the pillow in the safari print. I don’t see any bag in that fabric for some reason.
The Jia bag is beautiful! Hard to choose, so many are pretty
They are really all such beautiful bags it’s hard to pick a favorite! I would love to have the Becket because I need a big bag to take when I have to work weekends and pack a change of clothes/etc.

I like the Reef tote. The rope pattern is visually appealing and the orangish yellowish lining make it look bright and cheery.
I love the jia bag. It is so unique and can go from day professional to night time dinning. I will go with church clothes or casuel jeans and top. I love it.
I like the song tote
The Hai tote is my favorite with its cheerful persimmon lining. Thanks for the giveaway!
being a Piscean, i am attracted to the Lure bag…love the fishies swimming upstream and could do either the orange or navy. The interior zipper pockets would be ideal for my keys, phone and card case. I would use it for my outdoor walking events – fairs, festivals, etc. Thanks!
I love the Lily and want it for my own. Add to the contestants, Please!
I love the mint!
Lovw rhw Lily which seems the top choice for those who entered the contest!!! Many Thanks sW
The Lily tote bag is beautiful! I’d love that one :)
I love the hai print. These bags would seriously work for any occasion. I love the bold prints and splash of color on the inside. I love that I could use it as a purse/diaper combo. The zipper closure like the hai has is an absolute neccesity!

The Ming is very expressive and nice
I would love to win the ming!
As luxurious as the dynasty itself, you’ll fall in love with ming’s on-the-go print and eye catching interior. The exterior pocket is perfect for maintaining order. With this ample tote, you can accommodate more loot than the empress herself.
Hmm, hard choice. I like the orange interior of the hai bag better than the pink, but I adore the butterfly print of the lily bag. So I think I’d have to go with the lily. These are all beautiful bags!
Love thee bags,so stylist.Would be perfect and roomy enough to carry everything for work.
I really love the Lily tote bag. I love the hot pink interior. A perfect for my mommy. :]
I would like to win the Song. It is roomy enough to carry all my daily essentials. It is very stylish. I would love to carry it on all my weekend getaways.
hai is my favorite. I love how big the bag is – I’m thinking it might work as a very cool diaper bag!! Thanks so much for the giveaway!
I really like the orange interior of the Hai bag and the fact that it has a knot closure.
I like the Lily Tote the best. I like the shape and truely love the pink interior lining.

Beautiful choices.
I love the hai tote. I always use a tote to carry work papers, and currently I am using a saftey pin to hold my current one together. My client told me it’s time for a new tote. How embarrassing, but true!
The Lily tote is SO cute! I don’t usually carry bags around, but it would be nice to win one so I wouldn’t have to buy one, especially one that’s big enough to hold a lot of stuff, but can go with pretty much anything!
I like the reef tote! nice
I’d love to have people take a glance back at me, because they would think my tote is so beautiful, and wonder where they could get one too! The Lily tote that is.

There are a lot of great ones, but I like Reef best
I love the hai bag!

I would chose the reef tote bag. I like the swirl design and the yellow interior. I like that it has 2 interior zippered pockets. I carry a tote for work so this would be ideal.
I would choose the Ming and I love the contrast of the yellow interior with the black and white exteror.

Mmm.. Love Ming and its beautiful golden interior as much the cool exterior! Thanks for the entry!
the Lily
I can’t pick a favorite. I think that each bag has it’s own unique qualities and beauty, and as a result I can’t pick one that I prefer over another. All of them are lovely. Thank you for the fantastic giveaway!
I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect tote. The coho looks very stylish and would fit the bill.
I like the lily. Very pretty and contemporary.
I love the Ming Tote, and I have to say, I love the mention of the airport flexibility that you talked about. I have gotten into that situation a few times and it’s very frustrating to me when I have to pull things out of my bag and drag it around with me. Another thing that I love about this bag is that it’s perfect for me to pack my books, lunch, and laptop when I take the train to work. It looks like it would sit on my lap easily and I wouldn’t panic about things falling out while I’m reading on the train.
I’d choose the Hai tote. I like the style, the bright orange lining, and the philosophy: “In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock.”
I like the Hai bag, great print and just the right size! Also, I was surprised to see they also had pillows…my fave pattern was the Safari one, they’d look great on my sofa!

I really like the Lily Tote best! Thanks!
I would choose the Hai tote–I like the repetitive pattern of the fabric.

The Ming tote is my favorite, the design is so unique!
I can easily carry this everywhere.
Let’s go with the Reef Tote.

This was very hard to decide but I would say I love the Ming. It is cute and I love the lining color! Bright and sweet!
I LOVE all of these totes. Large Totes are a necessity when going somewhere in my family as I have two children under two years old.
I like the Lilly tote the best with the Ming Tote coming in a close second.
I’m wild (ha!) about the zebra-print Jade clutch. Would match my zebra shoes and zebra dress and zebra jewelry and zebra hair accessories…

Honestly, I am not a slouch, but the Lily Tote really is my favorite. And while I like them all (the Ming really started to grow on my after my initial indifference to it.) But as a Pisces, I would have to make the Hai Tote my second most favorite.

I like all of their roomy totes but the Reef Tote is my favorite. I love the design.
I ‘stumbled’ this site….my stumble name is sassysista
My favorite Nankeen bag is ‘Song’. I am an avid lover of butterflies and this bag would be the perfect compliment to my new routine. I take the train or the bus often and it would be very nice to have this stylish bag to carry my ipod, journal, water, and diabetic testing supplies\meds in.
With life being a bit difficult, what a better “pick me up” than this butterfly inspired tote reminding me that life is always evolving, changing and becoming more beautiful!

I love the Lure bag, and all the weekenders too.
Love the Lilly Tote.
I like the reef tote. To me its a perfect beach bag. The colors are bright and I love the yellow (orange?) interior.
I like the Hai tote. I like the black and white print, but also like the red lining. It is a very nice contrast to the black and white amd makes it a nicer bag because of it.
I love them all….but must agree with Kayte, the Ming is my favorite, actually it is the perfect tote.
Thank you. :-)

Thank you

I love Ming! The look of these bags is so fresh and original I won’t feel like a label whore carrying it- but I’ll still be stylish.
Terrific
I like the reef-I like the design and the pretty color inside, plus it is a nice big size
These fabrics are stunning. Ming is the 1 I would choose. Lily would be next. i used to have little teeny tiny purses that held little. I have switched my style to the larger totes and satchels. It is more practical and so in style.
The lily it would have to be! There are some gorgeous purses on that site too. Thanks for the giveaway!
It was a little hard to pick because they are all really trendy! But I think I’ll go with the Lily Tote or Song Big Bag. I’m always on the go with my little son and either one would be great to take to take with me everyday!
Thanks for the giveaway!
The Reef would be fantastic for all my flea market and yard sale junkets ONe bag large enough to carry all my fantastic finds in Love it
I would luv to Win the Reef Tote!!
Thanks for an Awesome Giveaway :)
I love the Hai tote. The inside liner is such a fun orange color. The size is a great size for carrying all those baby goodies I need when I have my grand daughter. I was impressed with the price of these bags as well. They are high end, very stylish, without the $400 designer price tag. thanks for the giveaway
I love the Nankeen Lily. Thanks!
the EQUINE LAPTOP SLEEVE gets my vote as i need a sleeve to carry it in all the bags are great love the weekender too
The Lily is the cutest.
I really do!!!
I loooove the lily tote. It looks like I could get a lot of stuff in it while I tote my daughter around to all her activities…yet still be in wonderful style. I hope I win!!!!
Ming is my favorite. The fabric looks like something you’d see in a textile museum! So beautiful and classic.
i definitely want the lilly tote!
I am a subscriber. Thanks!
These would be useful for so many things…I love big bags. My favorite is the reef! Thanks for the chance.
The Ming Tote is my favorite…..I especially liked the contrasting yellow lining….plus a nice size and shape…….and LARGE ENOUGH!!
The Reef Tote is my favorite. The swirl design is cute and funky and the simple black and white colors keep it from being too busy.
I love the Reef Bag with its circular designs, truly a Wearable Art piece as a tote! I agree that bags should be beautiful and beautifully designed as we look at them daily, and they should add
zip to our lives!
I love the Lily bag. I am a handbag junkie, I love them, and this would be a perfect addition to my collection. I really love the print on this one, and the size is perfect.
I really do love a good large tote. There are so many places that I go, where I need to take something more than just a purse. I think that my favorite is the Lily, although I really do like the Reef too.
I went to the website and tried to pick out another tote, but the LILY one speaks to me too. Maybe it is the fuschia lining!
The Ming tote really calls out to me! My mom collects antique blue and white china, and this print reminds me so much of her beautiful collection! Plus I love the yellow lining– so bright and sunny.
Thank you!
I hope this is the hardest decision I have to make today. LOL I was going back and forth between Lily and Reef when my 1 yr old walked up and pointed to the Lily and said bird.(close enough lol) That made my decision. I have to choose Lily.
My “uhaul” as I call my bag is filled with everyone’s essentials. I carry extra keys to every vehicle and house of the family. If my bag was taken, easy access to everything. I get a call at least once week to bring a key for a brilliant relative who is locked out of a car or house. A tissue in need for a runny nose or a comb to run through messy hair is all piled into the “uhaul”.
I love totes! And I love how the Nankeen bags are eco-friendly! I’m in need of a cute tote for everyday use. My tote from Urban Outfitters got a hole in it so I really could use a stylish cute one from Nankeen! Thank you!
These bags are gorgeous. I”d choose the Hai if I win!
I love the Nankeen tote…I could it it for everything. Everyday use, school, the beach, gym…
I would really enjoy owning the REEF tote! Amazing giveaway!
The Nankeen site is lovely and very easy to navigate, plus I love all of their products. Great find.
I would get the Lily Tote. My son plays soccer so I usually have lots of stuff to bring with me when I watch his games like drinks, blanket, etc. This bag would be very stylish to carry it all in, not to mention it’s his team’s colors. I also like the zippered pockets so I can put my cell phone and tissues where I can find them without digging through everything.
The Zhan big tote is a very cool-looking bag. I like them all, actually.
Thanks for having the giveaway!
My favorite is Lily, but Reef is a nice bag also.

i’d love to win the lily because it’s big enough to hold diapers and wipes as well as my own accessories
That Lily tote is too too cute! Thanks!
I love the reef bag, the bright orange color inside is my fav thing plus it is big and roomy and can hold my stuff and my two year old toys that he insists on bringing everywhere but doesnt want to carry himself.
After looking at all the wonderful looking totes, I really adore the Lily one. Thanks for a great giveaway :)
What great bags! I love the Reef tote, but I think my favorite is the Ming – it is, afterall, a constant reminder and throw-back to the style of art that you are carrying.
Hmmmmm…..This is a tough one. I think I’ll go with the ‘hai’ tote as my fave. They’re all really pretty. Oh, and I totally get your bag obsession. I have the same problem!!! Love purses and tote bags!!! (smile)
I am dreaming of holding this bag!

Personally I like the Ming bag the best. I love that it has a bright yellow liner and that it has the knot to close it…giving you that extra little needed room. The fact that the pattern is not overly busy is a major plus also.

I like Lily and I like Reef. I’ll choose Lily, though, if I win.
I would be proud to carry the hai tote. I read about the dye process and was fascinated. It’s almost like batik but with a paste. The indigo blue is stunning.
i choose the ‘hai’ bag with its delicate, soothing exterior pattern and unexpected persimmon interior. lovely balance. it looks sturdy and roomy enough for me!
thanks!
I like both the Lily and the Ming – but the Lily is definitely my favorite.
The Lily Tote is my favorite. Love the design and the size.
I so love the Lily! I am looking for a bag right now and this would be so perfect! This looks like a GREAT company and thanks for the awesome giveaway!

Wow, these are gorgous! i could really use a weekender. My husband and son have taken over all our duffle bags, and really, shouldn’t I have something nicer than just a nike golf tote anyhow? These fabrics are beautiful.

I really like the lily. Very pretty. Thank you for a great giveaway!

I visited the site and though all of the bags are awesome I love the Lily. I have a 1 year old daughter (Lilly :-)) and a 3 year old son… this bag would be perfect to carry around all of the STUFF my kiddos need.
The “reef” tote was very cute. Big enough to carry all my stuff to the gym.
The Hai tote is my facorite. I try to look for bags like these at garage sales and I usually end up finding some very unique bags for like pennies.
I love the Lily tote. The pattern and size of the tote compliment each other so nicely. The pink lining is perfect!
I’m really attracted to most of these beautifully contrasting prints, but I have to say the Luna is IT for me! I just Love the blues & I would feel fabulous strutting through the airport with it as my carry-on bag. I fly often & this would be perfect size for the book, ipod, snacks, pillow, etc. Thanks!
I like the ming tote
The Lily bag is actually my favorite, too. I know it’s popular, but it’s for a good reason. I was looking around on their website, and I think the collections are cool because you can have different sizes that all match. What a neat idea! Enter me!
Fabulous totes. Some people have a shoe addiction – I have a tote bag addiction. I love the reef pattern. It looks like it would make a great carry on bag for a plane – not too big, not too small.
Lily, Lily, I love you so!
Once you’re mine, I won’t let go!
A little frilly? Yes! Silly? No!
One little verse, and Lo-
You’re mine, all mine, Lily lovely so!
These bags are very cool. Very unique.
I like the Reef tote.
The Dash Weekender is also very cool. A neat bag that wouldn’t get confused with others when traveling with a group (which I do often).
Thanks for the chance to win!
I LOVE the Reef Tote – I’m a sucker for anything lined with bright orange! :) I’d love to have a new bag for spring.
My absolute favorite is probably the Lily tote, I love the butterflies, I love that it makes me think of Spring, the Pink lining, All of it is so beautiful. I also like the Hai tote, and am totally in love with the Song Bag. Beautiful. Thanks for the wonderful giveaway.

The Ming bag rocks b/c it reminds me of my husband’s cultural heritage AND is super classy! Awesome!
I have to say the Lily is my favorite! I am an avid knitter, never leave the house without a knitting project… and what a stylish knitting bag this would be!
I have not heard of these bags before, but the technique that is used to design the bag is great. it sounds like the perfect bag for me. i have six grandchilden and could always use a roomy, sturdy but yet stylish bag when I am out with them. Thanks for the chance to win
I love the jia bag! I can carry all my babies things and still be stylish!

Hey, doll!
Thanks for the giveaway. I adore the Lily, too. It’s adorable! I love that it would roomy enough for all my stuff and a book or two.
Bless!
Well, I like the op art pattern on the Reef, but I don’t like it’s tapered style as much as the square style of the Lily, and the butterflies are pretty, so I would pick the Lily.
I love the Song bag! The Lily bag is cute also! Thanks for the chance.
I like them all but my favorite is the Lily!!
I am now following you on twitter (uberabby).

Of all the totes, I love the Lily, bc it’s my fav pattern of the four.
The Hai tote is cute. I’d love to win it.
I’m like you I love tote bags. This one looks beautiful.
I love the Lily tote and the Reef tote – it’s hard to choose just one!
The reef tote would work perfectly for carrying what we need on our boat this summer. I like the zipper closure so everything stays in the bag and wouldn’t be spilling out. We need to pack diapers, extra clothes, sunblock, sun glasses and hats each time we head out to the lake and need a large enough bag to hold all of it. The colored lining would be so helpful when digging through all the stuff to help find what I am looking for.

I love the lily tote. It is perfect for Spring and summer.The fuchsia pink lining is a perfect contrast to the outer Butterfly design. The two inside zipper pockets will allow me to carry money, credit cards and my keys safely. It is roomy and fashionable and I would be very happy to use this daily, for work and for visits to see my grandchildren.
Thank you!

I too would have to chose the Lily.It just makes me think of summer and New ENgland.It reminds of patriotism and blue and white dishes with blueberry pie.I too am a bag hooch and just love this bag.It reminds me of so much.
This is a hard choice! I love them all but would choose the ming bag, I love the cheery yellow lining! These totes are absolutely beautiful!
I love the Lily tote! I can picture carrying it when we go on the Disney Cruise in June.
i must say, the lily tote is by far the best and not just because you reviewed it. i love the print and the bag looks huge and well designed. i just found your site through another blog, so i’ll have to take some time to look around. :)
I really love the reef bag it just seems it would go with anything I would wear. On the web site i also loved the hai tote too. It would be a hard one to chose. They both have enough room to carry every thing I need to. Thanks for the chance to win it.
I like the SONG! I’m really enjoying your blog and am a new Twitter follower. THANKS so much for everything.
I have never heard of this company before, but I really love their style! Wow. :D
These are so cute and fashionable, but If I have to choose one, it would be the “Hai”, because the pattern really grabbed my attention!
:)
I just subscribed!!!! thanks!
I really had a tough choice between the Lily and Ming. The Lily won because of the fushsia pink cotton lining..that is just so pretty.
In the big bags I love the Zhan. I had to add that because I just love it too.
The Ming Tote
I love the lily tote, I am due with my first baby in 3 weeks and it would be awesome to have a cute bag to throw stuff in that can fit a lot of stuff.

I would choose the lily tote because I love the design and the bright pink interior. They have such cute bags there too…love the different shapes of them.
I love the Reef tote. It would be perfect to take to dog shows.
I like the Reef tote the best
The design and artistry goes so far beyond what I was thinking when I read … tote bag. I really like the tote bag in their Wave collection. Of the 4 shown in the tote section, I like the Lily bag and expect that it would be so much classier than the messenger bag I’m using at present to carry work material in. All bags have such striking lining and attention to detail that they easily bridge the gap to stylish purse duty.

Ooh I would choose the Lily. All of them are gorgeous and it was so hard to choose. My husband said I always carry around the kitchen sink with me, but I choose to say that it is my personal filing cabinet. Never know what you might need while you are out and about. Great giveaway.
I love the Lily bag! I like the butterfly pattern and the fuchsia lining and I love that it looks big enough to hold everything I always carry around! Thanks for the giveaway!
I love the lily bag. I am a totebag aholic. This one would be perfect for me because i am totally a black and white gal. It would be perfect for all my needs. I also use a tote bag to carry my files to and from work…another perfect use for this adorable bag!
I’d definitely opt for the Lily bag. I’m a newer mom & keep finding that I’ve got loads of stuff to carry around with my tot – the older he gets, the more there is to carry! The lily bag seems to be a stylish & durable tote with plenty of room for all of Pete’s stuff.
I’d like to win the Jia:
Jia, the Mandarin word for graceful butterflies, reflects your fine taste for everyday glamour. Its unique shape camouflages the bulk of life’s essentials, which are easily located against the stunning fuschia lining. With the jia bag, the elegance of nature meets chic carry-all.
The Nankeen bags are so pretty, they are much more appealing than your standard tote bag! I would choose the Lily tote. My daughter loves butterflies, and, let’s face it, I’d be carrying around her stuff as much as mine. Kids seem to travel with so many various items. The Nankeen Lily tote would be the perfect way for us to cart around our favorite things.

Awesome giveaway. Thanks for the chance!
I like both the Lily and Ming designs but if I had to choose one, it would be the Ming. A perfect ‘take along’ tote for running errands.
I love the Lily pattern because of the butterflies. Butterflies are a theme in my daughter’s nursery. Plus, the only totes I have now are those canvas boat bags, so I need something more fashionable and functional.
wow
email subscriber!
ok even though I probably would choose the lily tote, I like the ming tote too!
I like the “Hai” bag with it’s abstract fish print and the persimmon orange lining. Thanks.
I thought the Ming bag was cute.
I love bags, this one I would love to win, I like it.
The Jia bag is pretty adorable. I loved the home pillows also :)

The Lily Tote Bag is gorgeous. What a classy design! I could take this everywhere and I’m sure I would get comments on how beautiful it is. Plus it is big and roomy for me to take while shopping using the bus. Thank you for the fantastic giveaway!

They all look really nice. My favorite is the Lily tote bag. It has a great pattern on it and looks super roomy for all my “stuff”.
I’d probably go for the lily, but the hai is also a frontrunner. So hard to decide — they’re all so cute and I LOVE the contrast linings!
Reef
I love the Lily tote! Such a cute bag that would be great for fun shopping trips. I love the colors and the wonderful style of it.
My favorite is the Reef tote. I love the print and the contrasting orange lining is awesome! Thanks for the contest!

The lily tote is my favorite, although the reef is a close second. I love the blue and white graphic- it looks so fresh and summery and yet classic.
I think the Lily tote would make an awesome beach bag. It’s cute and functional at the same time and would add a pop of color pertinent to the hot summer days ahead of us. I’m following on twitter as sweet8684girl.

We use totes for everything from produce to toys. I really like the Song fabric with the butterflies on the Big Bag, but since that is’nt an option, I would choose the Lily. They seem wonderfully crafted. Certainly a quality tote! Thanks!
thank you
I love the Lily!
I love the Song bag, I think the fushia pink lining is awesome and it is nice and wide (27 inches and deep) could take it to the grocery store instead of using those ugly plastic bags. The navy based exterior would not show dirt either
I am drawn to the Hai tote and if I won it, I would actually surprise my mom with it (we have similar taste) She has been using the same old travel bags since I was a child, and let me tell you those are over 35 :) The Hai tote has lovely graphics and looks like it could hold everything neatly and efficiently
Thanks! foxsquirrelrabbit at gmail dot com
I like the Lily Pattern. This bag would be so handy for shopping, traveling, toting stuff to /from work. Thanks for the great giveaway!
I adore the lily — it just has simple lines and a pattern that will go with everything! What’s not to love.
I would love to own the Lily tote. It is a unique design and very pretty! I love the style and color since it would go with any outfit. It could really be dressed up or used casually everyday. This is such a fashionable tote that would be perfect for holding all of my things that overflow my handbag!
Love the
The lily or the ming bag would be my choice.
I subscribe.
All of them are attractive. I am choosing the Hai as my favorite, but it could be any one of the four.
I love the Lily tote. In an attempt to have a “stylish” personal bag and diaper bag, this would be perfect for carrying all I need for my daughter and I.
Thanks!
Reef.
The Ming tote is super cute. I love the asian inspired pattern; I have a pair of new white skinny jeans I really want to pair it with!
The Lily tote is my favorite. I love the pink inner lining. The butterfly pattern is like an abstract piece of art work. The straps on this item i can tell are very secure and wont be brakeing anytime soon. The overall construction of this tote appears to be very durable yet fashionable. My hip seventeen year old daughter says its hip for even her age group.

The Ming tote for sure is my favorite – thanks for introducing these bags to me!

I love that Nankeen makes bags that involve environmentally friendly manufacturing and that they are also honor fair labor practices.
I would use the Lily Tote for school as I a teacher in a middle school which happens to have a large Asian population. Currently, I use a leather Coach bag, but I’ve been going green and I have been looking for alternatives to leather as well as companies which practice Fair Labor Laws.
My favorite is the Lily tote. It is a hard choice, and my favorite color has always been blue! I really like these becase they are styish but siple. Often these sorts of things look too urban for me, but this is great as a casual but nice looking option.
I really like the Ming tote – my partner’ purses are always way too small for all the stuff she carries around with her – this would be ideal
Love the reef tote – looks modern, but not too edgy. It would look great with my new jeans!
I love Nankeen Lily Tote…
hope to win…
The Ming is my favorite!

i love the lily bag, because of the butterflys. my Mom passed away about 11 yrs ago and my sisters see butterflys all the time and say hi Mom, so we wear butterflys a lot. it is a way we stay close and rember her. thanks
I’d go with the Ming tote. I love asian designs, my interest first began when I adopted my daughters, who were born in China.
Subscriber too. Yay for me!
I o love your blog.

I love this company. Thanks for bringing it to our attention! The lily bag is my favorite of the totes. The contrasting fabric s super cute and you just can’t go wrong with pink lining. I love how big it is! The luna big bag is awesome too! I’ll definitely be doing some shopping here soon.
Thanks!

All of the totes from Nankeen are just spectacular! My very favorite is the Reef Tote. I love the nautical inspired fabric, it is so cute! I can think of so many different ways I can use this tote. I have 3 young children under the age of 10 so I am always carrying around lot of their gear with me! This tote will serve as my new chic fashion accessory to store all their gear in! It will go so nicely with many of the types of casual outfits that I wear everyday! Thank you so much for the opportunity to enter!

I’ve fallen for the Zhan; what a roomy bag. I adore that chariot print with the bright yellow lining. Who wouldn’t smile seeing that sunshine when opening the bag? I’m already mentally-packing that bag with all my workout clothes and grabbing a plastic bag to stow my shoes so they don’t deface the lining of my gorgeous bag.
Okay, this was a hard to decision. To decide which was one I liked best….hmm…I will choose the Lily tote as my first favorite then Reef, then Ming, then the hai! Can you tell I love them all! I love the all the room! Your story of packing for the airport was exactly like a story of me. I’m always looking for a cool bag that can fit the entire house, for the just in cases, and still look like a cool bag that I actually would like to carry. Thanks for the chance to win it and the introduction to a great website. I’m reviewing all the accessories. A girl can’t have to many accessories, right? lol
I like the lily one. They have such a great selection.
Nankeen certainly has a beautifully designed website, as well as products! They put a lot of effort into the photography and all that was well worth it. Good well done!
If I were to chose a tote bag, it would have to be the Lily design. Even my sister agrees with me! :)
garlandofroses@gmail.com
I love the Ming tote!! Oh my goodness…it is so cute!!
I would choose the lily tote. I love the traditional print outside with the punch of color inside. Very me ;).
The Lily bag is my favorite of the four totes offered. I love the butterfly print on it and the pink lining. Those butterflies look like spring to me.
Thanks for the giveaway!

I love the lily tote!! Especially the bright lining!! :) So pretty

I am torn between the Lily(love the bright pink lining and butterflies), but I also love the Reef! All the totes are so cute and would come in handy for all my trips back and forth to the library.
My favorite Tote is the Lily Tote. What a wonderful style and design. Classic and elegant but completely functional!!
Thanks for the amazing giveaway!!
I like the reef, it is so pretty.

The reef tote is my favorite with its cheery yellow lining! It is begging for me to take it to the beach, but would also serve as an amazing diaper bag. Thanks!!

I’d love the reef-I like the fact that the inside is ‘golden yellow’ and that it has a zippered top, thanks!
I looked at every bag on the site. I really liked the Miao, but I don’t know where I would use it. My favorite that I kept coming back to was the Tang. Love it.
the tang bag looks so stylish thanks.
I think all the totes are pretty!
If I HAD to choose one, I would have to say the Hai with the Lily a close second.
Am not one for bags without full closure but the pink interior on the Lily is lovely to see peeking out…
Oh my goodness, what cute bags!! So adorable. I had a blast perusing through them. The Song Big Bag is precious!! I am a huge fan of bags/totes/purses, too!!!!! Unfortunately budget limitations hinder that, so this is perfect for me :)
I’m torn between the Lily and the Hia. I relly love them both. The colors are so pretty and so is the pattern. I would use it as a diaper bag/Mommy bag. Now that my son is turning two, he doesn’t need as much stuff but does still need a cup, diapers, etc. This totes looks roomy enough for all of that plus the contents of my purse. It’s stylish, too.

I love the ming bag. I think it is sophiscated and unique. I would use this bag for my computer because it is more stylish than my briefcase.

I couldn’t make up my mind on whether to pick Ming or Lily…..they’re actually all beautiful! Lily has a pink lining (love)….my beautiful dog’s name is Lily (love) and butterflies are in the the Lily print. So….Lily it is!! I could use this tote daily. I’m a mom, work, volunteer etc…and I could put everything I need in this. Thank you :o)
That Lily is the one – I’m a butterfly chaser and love the pink inside!

I love the Reef tote
The Lily Tote is, by far, my favorite. But, since you said I shouldn’t just say that…I’ll say the Jing bag is my second favorite. :)
I think that the way they make those bags is fascinating! I have to say, the Lily bag is my favorite. I have had a thing for butterflies lately, and the pattern is sooo pretty! I have a Vera Bradley tote, but it’s not quite big enough to tote a bunch of stuff around in. The Lily bag looks like a great size! =)
The Lily tote is definitely my favorite. It has such a contemporary & stylish design. I like it even better than Vera Bradley bags.
it is a toss up between the reef tote and the lily tote thanks for the giveaway
Loves it!
My diaper bag is just so… well, diaper bag. There have been so many times that I wished that I had a cute tote to use instead but nothing has worked. I think the Lily is both adorable (fuchsia lining!) and practical in that it has a knot closure to keep things in and is 20″ wide and 13″ tall. That would definitely be big enough to carry around the things I need for my 2-year-old and 4-month-old daughters. Thanks!
They are all great and I so need a pretty new bag!
love the lily tote — what a great bag to leave by the door and drop everything in keys, list, snacks for my son, pull ups, mail, etc!!
i liked the ‘lily’ tote in blue
i like lily
I really adore the Lily tote! Your review shows a picture of it and I was thrilled to learn it was included in this giveaway. I love a chance to win the one product I adore off of a site! The wonderful fresh mix of white and blue, combined with the subtle butterfly print is just so perfect for summer. I could spent all spring/summer with this bag and never tire of it. You know that bag that makes you smile all season long? This is that bag.

I really love REEF bag. Cool site!
I really like the Lily! 2nd choice is the Reef. Thanks!!
I looked around at everything and definitely decided that i would choose the Mini Bengal. I love the blue tiger-type print! The bag seems versatile and the size is perfect for me. Also their website design is very nice
I couldn’t really make up my mind, they are all so cool, but am leaning towards the “Reef” tote, the design is so mesmerizing!
The lily tote is actually my favorite! The hai is a close second and I would be happy with any of these great bags! Thanks for the chance!

My favorite is the lily, hard choice but I keep going to that one. I was looking around the site & the miao bag is so cool & unique!
Being an avid knitter and always having a project with me I love totes. These totes are all so beautiful but the one that really caught my fancy was the one which you reviewed the Lilly. I have to day though that the Reef caught my eye as well.
Everything on the site is lovely but I really want a new tote. Of the great totes on the site I like the Reef Tote best.
Thank you for the contest.

they’re all lovely, but I’m loving the hai pattern.

I’m going to have to agree, the lily is my favorite of the totes. But I also love the jia and the lure – and how cool that you can pick different lining colors on some of the bags.
Since I’m close to turning 40, and my kids are 5 and 7 but I still look like I am slugging around a “mommy bag” with every imaginable food & drink & toy to amuse/entertain/feed, it is time for style. The Lily Tote definitely has style.
Hi, new to your site and love it! That bag is SO cute and I could definitely use it w/ all the air travel I do!! I follow you on Twitter, and I’ve subscribed to your site/follow you on Google reader. Thanks!
the hai. i love the pattern and also that it zips close!
twitter follower (addeviant)
I like the Lily also. I love the soft butterfly pattern and it would go with almost anything. Very pretty.
I love and waqnt the Ming Bag. It’s so unique, multi-cultural, and funky all the same. WOWOWOW
I like the lily
I would choose the Lily Tote. It is by far my favorite. However, I really like the Loot a lot too. My husband has a beautiful leather weekend bag that we got at our wedding and I’m still stuck packing an old college thing. So the Loot Bag would make me feel much more “in the game”!
I like the coiled rope pattern on the Ming bag. But I really like the pink lining on the Lily better… either one would be awesome!
I love the coho and song big bags–what a great size for quick weekend jaunt or simple enough for running errands–fabulous fabrics too! Actually thye fabric decision is the hardest cuz they are all great!
the Hai tote
I do believe that today is the first giveaway that I have entered on your site and I am loving your blog so I became a SUBSCRIBER today.
I visited the Nankeen site and I would choose the Lily tote. I love the hot pink inside with the knot closure and the two zippered pockets.
I am absolutely in love with the reef tote. It’s extremely unique and creative!
I would choose the hai bag. It would be perfect with blue jeans!

I love the Lily tote. The jumbo knot closure is my favorite feature. Thanks!
I like the Hai bag. These are so stylish.
I like them all but Lily is my favorite.
The Ming tote would be my pick because it reminds of my trips to China.

I love the hai tote. As a Marketing Major with a Studio Art Minor, I’ve been studying patterns and how they effect eye capture coupled with memory. The centered dot sequence boxed by the diagonal, bold lines just makes the blues and whites pop. I defiantly leaves a lasting impression.

I cannot believe that ALL of these items are soo nice!
If I had to choose one…. I would coose The Lily bag.
It is the one that caught my eye the most!
Thanks for the chance!
The Lily bag is gorgeous. It’s my first choice because I prefer a traditional rectangular shape. The pattern is lovely, and I love the hot pink that peeks out from inside! It also looks practical — I think it could hold everything I need to schlep around all day. And I appreciate the knot closure, to keep it together.
I love the Lily design
I love the Reef tote
Stumbled – alotofnothing
Must have Lily!
Love them all but Lily is my favorite. Speaking of big bags reminds me of when I worked in a Re-Hab unit and one of our staff kept complaining of a sore shoulder. Doctor examined her, sent her for a cat scan but could find nothing wrong. She went for therapy for several weeks but without much improvement. Anyway she came into the office for a check-up and sat down opposite the doctor at his desk and put her purse on the floor. Hoping to be helpful I picked it up to place on a nearby table and I could hardly lift it. Having seen her carrying her bag on that shoulder everyday I handed it to doctor without a word. He smiled and asked her if she carried this often and she said everyday to and from work and shopping et al. He pointed out that carrying the excessive weight was probably the cause of her problem. She had carried if for so long she never realzed. Turned out the problem was 6-7 years of accumulated change in the bottom of the bag as she didn’t have a change purse so always threw excess change in the bottom of the bag and never retreived it. When we counted it there was $98.47 cents.
I would choose the jia bag. It scream me with a passion!
i really like the reef tote.

I like the LILY.
Although they are all gorgeous, the first one that really caught my eye was Reef. I like that it is a bit darker than the others, so might not show the every day schmutz I would drag it through! Great giveaway
After looking at the totes on the Nankeen site, the Lily remains my favorite. It goes with everything I own and would be a great addition to my wardrobe. In addition, it’s large enough to hold all the stuff I have to tote around everyday.
They are all pretty but Lily is my favorite. I like ming too. It would be cool if they had some feng shui designs like he coins or signs for prosperity and such.
These tote bags are so stylish. I really love a large bag. My favorite is the reef tote. Thanks so much and please enter me.
the lily for sure

Love the Ming tote, the pattern is nice & the bright interior is a nice touch!
Being a Pisces, I feel an affinity with the pattern in the Hai Tote. These are great for a pack-rat like me. Thanks for introducing the site, and for the chance to win!
I would love to win the Nankeen Lily Tote. I appreciate the artistry and the quality construction. Thank you.
I like the Lily Tote. I would use it when I go on vacation and for library books. Thanks for the chance to win.
I love the Jia bag. They are roomy enough to take to the grocery store so that would be earth friendly too. Please count me in.
The pattern on the hai tote is just a little too busy for me, but I love the other bags! The ming is my absolute favorite, and I like the combination of the bright yellow interior fabric with the outer colors.
I was going to pick the “Ming” so you knew I did go to the other page but I really really do love the “Lily” tote bag the best. First, I love the Butterfly pattern and the pink lining. Also I am one that just has to have a BIG tote to carry all my stuff in and the zippered pocket inside is wonderful to carry my keys that I am forever losing in my bag! Thank you for taking the time and energy I know it must take to offer these “giveaways”!
They are all so pretty
I really had a great time there window shopping as they sure have some beautiful things!
If I were to win I would choose the Luna Big Bag as it will go with all the jeans that I wear all the time and it will look so stylish! I also take many over night trips so this would be perfect.
Thanks for this terrific giveaway :)
I also love the Lily
I’m loving these bags. I’m really drawn to the Reef bag, but just got home from a beach vacation and probably still feeling that. I looked at the bag and first of all, love the yellow interior – so sunny and fresh. Second, the dimensions are so great, I was really wishing for something like this when I was on the airplane last weekend! Thanks so much for the fun giveaway~
i like the lily one!
autumn398 (at) yahoo.com
I like the Lily tote, this would be great for going to the farmers market and to the different events I work with
These bags are very chic looking, tasteful and you can tell they are quite well made. My eye was caught by the Reef Tote – I liked the warm golden yellow interior and the nautical design on the outside. These look roomy (but not shabby) and would do well for everything from casual grocery shopping to a day at the mall.
Wow these are nice, and thank you for offering up such a wonderful giveaway! Have a ‘Hoppy’ Easter :)
lily is my favorite then ming
other than the totes love the luna
This was a very hard decision! I kept going back and forth between the Reef tote and the Hai tote. All of the bags are so simple and classic, my taste exactly.
I love Ming. I studied Japanese Culture in college (I realize Ming is Chinese) but I really love Asian-inspired design in general. All my totes are diaper-related or beach-friendly. I don’t own anything nice for myself, so I’d love to win one for that reason.
singing* Sorry, I just had to correct that. I’m not signing people!
I’m signing and dancing over this giveaway. Really!!! My hubby is always giving me hell about my large carrying bag…until…the day my large carrying bag saved him from a spewing from our youngest daughter who wasn’t feeling well that day. HA! Well, I wasn’t really laughing. It was a large Coach Tote/Diaper Bag. :( I know, so sad.
So anyway, I’m in need of a bag. :) I have a thing for Black & White right now which is perfect for this collection! My fav is the Lily Tote. Plus, I love the Fuschia lining.
Thank you!
I daily visit my Dad who is in a nursing home. I am a source of amusement to the nurses, residents and visitors because of my “ever so stylish” baggage I use to carry my “life” around. I have a pocketbook that weighs about 50 lbs. Grocery bags, shopping bags, etc. I carry Dad’s laundry, personal items, daily items I bring to him such as newspapers, mail and treats. I would be a real “hit” if I had a beautiful bag to carry. I like the Ascot Big Bag, the Ming Tote – well, honestly, they are all beautiful, and functional.
I went to the Nankeen site and I have to say that the Lily bag was my favorite. It looked roomy enough to carry all the items I tote from the two offices that I work at.
