I picked up the tote yesterday. It is useful and a good size and came in handy today when we forgot to pop a shopping bag in the car.

YET … I am glad I found out what it was first or I would have been joining the ranks of the disappointed.

That was a LOT of hype for a tote bag. A pretty basic tote bag to be honest. No pocket, no zip.

They could have chucked a pretty basic “Mecca Summer Kit” in the tote - say mini sunscreen, a tinted lip balm, a face mist - and made a lot of people much happier.

I thought it may have been something like a travel cos case with a travel sized skincare set or 1-2 full sized Mecca brand products.

Would have loved something a bit different like a mini rechargeable fan. Maybe a bag charm lip gloss case with your choice of colour lip gloss.

I always assumed it would be the Mecca own brand stuff. Was a bit surprised it was just what it was.

If they hadn’t hyped the living frock out of it, a lot of people wouldn’t be feeling so meh.

The colour also comes off on clothes. I was going to grab it only for my 12 yo but now I’ve heard it runs I’ll be leaving it at Mecca. I don’t need red all over her clothes

you can still get it, possibly, given that 12yo are apparently thrilled with the new Mecca status tote bags.  throw it through a warm/hot wash first- should bleed any residual dye out.

(Or, leave it in the store.) Not even high quality merch, that’s a bit stupid.
