In Reply to: Bali Number 7 bags posted by Sharrie on Friday, 7. April 2006 at 10:35 Bali Time:
bags like Sports bags, they have 2 smaller handle and one large shoulder strap, they have a large zipper running across the top with a double zipper catch so you can put a lock on through holes. They are normally very bright colours of flowers, although our friends found a nice black one, we've been using them for years and have never had a broken zip (touch wood) but test before you buy.
They come in all sizes up to a 7 being the largest. And it is huge.
You can buy them from most market stalls, although often most only carry up to a size 6. We paid $10 Aust. for a 7.
Hope this helps, we weighed it empty and didn't register on the scales as far too light.
But the way, handles are stitched on so if they do brake they cannot be screwed on. They are reinforced with stitching, I think they are GREAT..
