Momsterrific Misadventures: Product Review: NEIT Drawstring Backpack

Product Review: NEIT Drawstring Backpack

I received an NEIT drawstring bag last February just before going on a holiday. It was sent to me by mommy Maelin of Delice Bites, and this is a new venture for this hardworking mompreneur. When asked why she named the bag "NEIT", she answered gamely: "NEIT stands for N- Nathaniel E-emmanuel I-isaac and T- timothy, mga 2nd name ng kids ko. (my children's second names)" She said the concept of the bag was born because she noticed that drawstring bags have returned to being a fad, and that since she is a mother, why not make a bag that would be more useful for women like her? Since she is a self-proclaimed DIY momma, she said once the idea got into her head she didn't stop until she made the bag successfully for retail.

When I go the bag, it looked like a regular drawstring bag at first, until I checked the stitching, the lining and found all the pockets, one zippered pocket outside and 5 open pockets inside. Mommy Maelin said she put 5 pockets inside so it can be used a diaper bag, and just to keep the contents organized. There is also two gartered loops for keys or stuff you want to be secured. She claims this bag is also good as a gym bag, a school bag, a weekend bag. It is also good to bring along when traveling as an extra bag or like I did, as a beach bag.

I took the bag along to Boracay and used it as a beach bag. It held my sunscreen, phone, monopod, wallet, sunglasses, various toys for my son and even a change of clothes. It can hold a lot of things and the woven cotton fabric is perfectly lightweight. The only pity was that it was not water resistant as being at the beach, it was bound to get wet. The good thing is that it dries easily, and after being washed, the colors remained bright and vivid.

The NEIT drawstring bag retails for P298 on Shopee and comes in various designs. You can also contact mommy Maelin on Facebook to discuss having your NEIT drawstring bag customized. All in all, I can say that this bag is a good buy and you'll get a lot of bang for your buck.
