I bought this holdall last year when I had started to go swimming regularly and I was sick of having to take shopping bags to carry my towel etc. in. I bought it from Argos and admiteddly the main reason I opted for this one was because it was pink! It also appeared to be a good size for what I needed so I bought it for £24.99 that it was at the time.

I was surprised first of all at how bright the bag actually is, I thought it was going to be a very pale pink but it was a lot pinker than that which might not be for everyone, but I didn't mind because I do really like pink. The other colours of the bag are greys which compliment the pink very well. The size of the bag was actually bigger than I expected and was certainly more than enough space than I needed for my swimming stuff, but I'm actually glad because I have been able to use the holdall for other things including 2 nights I spent away from home and I even took it to the hospital with stuff in when I had my son.

The zips on the bag are good quality and even when I've had the bag filled to the brim they have held up very well. As well as the main part of the bag, there is also a side pocket which again is surprisingly large and I can actually fit a pair of shoes in there if I need to, so this holdall more than caters for my needs. It is also worth mentioning that the bag isn't too heavy to carry either, even when it is full because the material is very soft thank goodness.

There are 2 different ways to carry the bag around, first of all there are 2 shorts handles which velcro together to carry the bag easily and this is the way I tend to use the bag the most. Then there is also a shoulder strap so that you have the option to carry the bag over your shoulder which is good if you have a lot more stuff with you. The shoulder strap isn't detachable though which is a bit annoying as it hangs there when I am just carrying the bag by the handles. Instead I tuck it inside the zip compartment to keep it out of the way, but the option to detach it would have been nice.

The size guide for the bag says 50cm which I'd say is the Width of the bag, the Height is about 30cm. Overall this is a decent sized and good quality bag - it is certainly very girly so not for those who don't like pink!
