Fammart sells bags for the places where a normal bag gets ruined: the beach, the pool, a lunchbox, a stadium gate. The brand's own line is that it makes "beach days lighter, drier & sand-free", and most of its catalog is mesh, canvas, TPU and PVC with zips on top. You are probably here because one of those bags caught your eye on a summer packing list, or because a school or a venue has asked for a clear bag and you want to know whether a cheap one will do.
We picked five Fammart pieces that cover the range: an extra-large striped canvas beach tote, an iridescent jelly tote, a two-piece makeup bag set, a reusable snack pouch for kids and a clear stadium backpack. They run from very cheap to mid-priced, and four of the five sit at 4.6 stars or higher on Amazon. The fifth is the one we would warn you about.
The thing that decides each of them is different, so here it is up front. For the canvas tote, it is the hardware. For the jelly tote, it is whether you like the look. For the makeup set, it is how much you need from a pouch at this price. For the snack bag, it is that it zips but does not seal. And for the stadium backpack, it is the length of the straps.
Fammart extra-large striped canvas beach tote
Fammart Extra-Large Striped Canvas Beach Tote
$19.99at our last price check
This is the biggest bag in the group, and the listing is blunt about it: "this is not a personal tote, it's a family beach bag." The stated size is 22 by 18 by 12 inches. Multiplied out, that is about 4,750 cubic inches, or close to 78 liters, which is about twice the 40 liters of Fammart's own large mesh tote. The listing says it holds 6 to 8 large towels, and a buyer who packed boots into it before handing it over with checked luggage gives you an idea of its other life as an overnight bag.
What it is made of
The outside is canvas, and here the listing contradicts itself. The detail table says "Fabric Type: 100% Canvas" and in the next breath "Material Fabric: Cotton Blend". Canvas is a weave, not a fiber, so both can be loosely true, but the listing never gives you a percentage. The handles are cotton, the lining is polyester, and the material is described as "water-resistant canvas". That is the right word. Canvas resists a splash and a wet towel set on top of it. It does not stop a full soaking.
The feature Fammart leads with is the wet pocket. It is a front zippered pocket lined with "heat-pressed aluminum foil and 100% waterproof lining", which the listing calls "completely leakproof". The use is obvious: swimsuits and a child's trunks go in there for the drive home, so the dry clothes in the main bag stay dry. Elsewhere there is one large zippered pocket inside and three more pockets, plus the top zipper that closes the whole bag. One buyer counted "2 side pockets for water bottles" and liked "the rope handles and grommets that prevent tearing."
You get two ways to carry it. Short handles for the hand, long straps for the shoulder. The detail table calls the handle type "Adjustable", but the bullets only describe two fixed lengths, so don't count on adjusting anything.
Size in practice
| Measurement | Listed | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Width | 22 in | Wider than most shoulders, so the full bag rides on your hip, not under your arm |
| Height | 18 in | Tall enough that folded towels stack upright instead of lying flat |
| Depth | 12 in | Deep enough for a small soft cooler on the floor of the bag |
| Volume, from the figures | about 4,750 cu in, close to 78 L | Family load: towels, clothes, snacks, toys in one bag |
| Stated towel capacity | 6 to 8 large towels | The listing's figure, not a buyer's |
The size is the bag's biggest asset and its biggest risk. Packed full, 78 liters of wet towels gets heavy fast, and a big bag invites you to fill it. That is where the hardware complaints come from.
Care and wear
The care line is clear: "Machine wash cold on gentle cycle. Air dry. Do not bleach or tumble dry." A buyer confirms "You can wash it by hand or washer." The listing repeats the load claim from Fammart's mesh tote, "holds up to 160 lbs", which tells you about the seams, not about what anyone should carry.
Durability is where this bag is weaker than its stars. The durability theme has 76 mentions, and 16 of them are negative, a far higher share than for any other theme on the page. The reports are specific. A zipper broke "two months later" after about five uses. "After 1 use, one if rivets popped right off." "I used it for two days on a cruise and the handle frayed and broke." Another buyer calls the zipper "flimsy and low quality". None of these are common, given 1,006 ratings with 3% at one star, but they all point at the same parts: the zip, the rivets and the handle joins. If you plan to carry a full family load every weekend, those are the parts to watch.
Huge, sturdy, has waterproof inside lining and choice of long or short handles. Looks very nice. Holds a ton of stuff.Amazon buyer

The praise is consistent: big, good-looking, easy to brush sand off, and the pockets are useful. One buyer says it "really kept the sand out of the rental house", which is the point of the top zip. Fammart's own product page is on the brand's site.
Who the canvas tote suits
The canvas tote is at its best on a day when you would otherwise carry two bags. A family of four going to the beach for the afternoon needs towels, a change of clothes for the smallest child, snacks, sunscreen and somewhere to put wet swimsuits on the way back. This bag takes all of it, and the wet pocket solves the last problem better than a supermarket plastic bag does. Buyers also use it as an overnight bag, a cruise tote and, in the listing's words, "a nurse bag, diaper bag, or teacher tote".
It suits you less well if you will carry it a long way. At 22 inches across and with no padding on the straps, a full bag swings against your hip, and the weight of wet towels lands on two cotton straps. If your beach is a short walk from the car, that is fine. If it is a long boardwalk, think about how much you really need to bring.
Fammart iridescent jelly beach tote
Fammart Iridescent Jelly Beach Tote
$21.99at our last price check
The jelly tote is the most popular bag here with the buyers who own it. It has 4.8 stars from 732 ratings, 89% of them five stars, and the listing says 100+ bought in the past month. It is a semi-clear bag in TPU, the soft plastic used for rain jackets and phone cases, with a rainbow iridescent finish and a nylon jacquard strap.
Design and build
The listing gives the size as 19 by 8 by 12 inches, which works out to roughly 1,820 cubic inches, about 30 liters. That is a solid single-person beach bag: a towel or two, sunscreen, water bottles and a book. One buyer fit "snacks, a book, a large beach towel, sunscreen and several other things with no problem." Another carried "4-5 beach towels", which suggests thin towels or a very full bag.
The pocket layout is well thought out for a bag you can see into. The detail table lists five pockets: a front zip pocket, the main zip compartment, two internal mesh pockets and an internal zip pocket. There is also a D-ring for keys. The mesh pockets hold water bottles upright, which a buyer points out: "Separate pockets (2) for water bottles."
The bag weighs 1.2 pounds, according to the detail table, and the shoulder-to-hem length is listed at 40 centimeters, about 15.7 inches. That puts the bottom of the bag at your hip when it is on your shoulder.
Two things about the build are worth reading closely. The listing says it has "a wide, flat-bottom base that keeps the bag upright" and calls it "Tip-Proof". Most buyers agree, and one says "it holds its shape well and does well in the summer heat." But one buyer found "no bottom support", and she was carrying nail polish, which is heavy and small. TPU stands up well under towels and less well under a few dense items. The second point is about the word "clear". A buyer explains: "You can see in, but it isn't clear." The iridescent finish clouds the view, so this is not the bag for a venue that asks for a fully transparent one.
Care
"Wipe with Damp Cloth, Air Dry" is the whole instruction, and it matches what TPU wants. Buyers like that part. "I just rinsed it to get rid of the sand" and "Just wiped it down and the sand fell right off of it" are typical. Sand doesn't stick to TPU the way it sticks in canvas fibers.
It holds a lot of stuff, is easy to wipe clean and empty sand out, and isn't as clunky and heavy as the Bogg bag I have. Also love that I can zip it.Amazon buyer
That comparison comes up more than once. Buyers measure this tote against two well-known names. One says it "exceeds the casemate bags by far". Another calls it "a fraction of the price as the name brand one". We have not compared them side by side, but the buyers who have done so are on Fammart's side.
Topic counts as Amazon groups them on the product page, read November 14, 2026.
The complaints are mild. It "does get heavy" when full, which is true of any 30-liter bag, and the color theme has five negative mentions out of 54. The zipper draws four negative mentions out of 33. Nothing in the excerpts suggests a pattern of failure. Fammart's page for it is here.
Who the jelly tote suits
The jelly tote is a one-person bag. It is the right size for an adult at the pool with a towel, a book, a bottle and a phone, and for a cruise passenger walking from the cabin to the deck. One buyer calls it "Great going thru airport security", and a semi-clear bag does make the contents easy to show. It is also the best-looking bag in this group to most buyers: the appearance theme has 149 mentions and 146 of them are positive.
It is less suited to a family load. Thirty liters is not enough for towels for four, and TPU gets heavy before it gets full. Pair it with the canvas tote if you need both.
Fammart two-piece makeup bag set
Fammart Corduroy Makeup Bag Set, 2 Pieces
$4.99at our last price check
This is the cheapest item in the roundup and the busiest in it by monthly purchases: the listing says 600+ bought in the past month, with 4.6 stars from 368 ratings. You get two zip pouches. The large one is 10 by 7 by 2 inches, and the mini cube is 4.92 by 4.92 by 2.55 inches.
What the fabric actually is
The product name calls this a corduroy set, and the title says "Large & Small Corduroy Cosmetic Pouch". The detail table says "Material Type: Polyester" and "Pattern: Checkered", the color we see is "A - Khaki Checkerboard", and a Walmart buyer of the same set describes it as "nicely knitted". So the listing is covering several fabrics under one title. What you can count on is a polyester outer, a checkered pattern on the color pictured, a beige lining and zippers. If corduroy texture matters to you, check the color you choose against its photo before you order. The bullets list beige, pink, purple, khaki, green and dusty rose.
The lining is described as water resistant, and a buyer confirms "a waterproof layer on the inside". The large bag has interior zipper pockets, the mini has pockets on both sides, and one buyer found "two grids on the inner layer" for brushes and pencils.
What fits
| Pouch | Listed size | What buyers fit inside |
|---|---|---|
| Large | 10 x 7 x 2 in | Foundation, concealer, blush, bronzer, lipstick; or a wallet, manicure kit, keys and medication; or an iPad charger, earbuds and a laptop mouse |
| Mini cube | 4.92 x 4.92 x 2.55 in | Eyedrops, lip products, a few small tools |
| Both | as above | Only travel-size brushes, says a Walmart buyer |
Two inches of depth is the number to notice. It means the large pouch lies flat in a handbag, which is why buyers carry it daily, but a full-size foundation bottle or a long brush will push its shape. A Walmart buyer is clear: "Only travel size makeup brushes fit in both pouches so you might want to consider that." Another says it "doesn't even stand upright".
Care and wear
The listing calls the pouches "washable" and gives no care instructions beyond that. One buyer, who wears "a full beat almost daily", says it "Cleans up well from makeup stains when washed". That is good evidence for a light-colored pouch. Another buyer finds them "very thin" and says "They do the job but are not high quality." That is the honest range for a set at this price.
Topic counts as Amazon groups them on the product page, read November 14, 2026.
The uses buyers find for it go well past makeup: a purse for a wheelchair user, a nurse's kit, a toiletry bag for the hospital before a birth, a tool roll for drill bits and pliers. That breadth says the shape is right, even if the fabric is light. The set's page on Fammart's site is here.
Who the makeup set suits
You are the right buyer if you want a flat pouch for the handbag you use every day and a smaller one for the few things you need at hand, and you would rather not spend much on either. The two pouches stack well in a carry-on, too: the large one holds a day's makeup and the mini holds medication or jewelry. You are the wrong buyer if you want a case that stands open on a bathroom counter, holds full-size bottles upright, or feels heavy and padded. These are light, soft pouches, and the price reflects it.
Fammart reusable sandwich and snack bag
Fammart Reusable Sandwich and Snack Bag
$6.59at our last price check
This is a single zip pouch, 8 inches wide by 7.5 inches high, meant to replace a plastic sandwich bag in a lunchbox. The version we are looking at is printed with a blue shark. It has a loop handle and two layers: a polyester outer the listing calls "waterproof and stain-resistant", and an inner layer of "food-grade PEVA". The listing describes that lining as PVC free, BPA free, lead free and phthalate free. Those are the seller's claims, and we pass them on as such.
Fit for a lunch
Eight by seven and a half inches takes one sandwich on standard sliced bread, or a handful of crackers and fruit. Buyers mostly use it for a child's school snack, and the size theme is mostly positive with 43 of 51 mentions. One buyer fits "a small cold pack, snack, utensils, and napkin" and has been using it "for 7 months and still perfect". Another says it "fits in an outside pocket of my suitcase" with gel packs.
The zipper is the detail parents mention most. The listing calls it an SBS zipper and says it suits children aged 3 and up. A buyer whose daughter is 3 says she "finds it very easy to open and close the bags during snack time at camp."
The seal it does not have
Read this bullet carefully: the bags are "not completely airtight due to zippered closure, if you pack chips, crackers, pretzels and dried foods, please finish eating within 24 hours." That is an unusually frank admission, and a buyer confirms it from the other side: it "doesn't keep the food as fresh, even for just a few hours until lunch". So this is a carrying pouch, not storage. Packed in the morning and eaten at noon, it works. Packed on Sunday for Wednesday, it doesn't.
Care
The listing says the bag is dishwasher safe on the top rack but recommends hand washing, then drying it upside down over a cup. Buyers mostly "just wipe clean or run under water". One chose a darker floral print "to hide all possible stains", which is a fair tip for a pouch that holds juicy fruit.
The star chart is good overall, at 4.6 from 343 ratings, but 4% are one star, and the value-for-money theme is close to split, with three negative mentions out of seven. The negative buyers don't mince words.
Not worth the price, cheaply made. It hardly holds anything, I’am surprised it’s even being soldAmazon buyer

One more note on this listing: the brand's own chart on the page shows the same pouch in several sizes, 4 by 8, 4.8 by 8 and 7.5 by 8 inches, plus a 2-pack. The figures in this review are for the 8 by 7.5 inch large single. If you want the smaller sizes for crackers or a single fruit, check the size you have selected before checkout, because the sizes share one rating.
Fammart clear stadium backpack
Fammart Clear Stadium Backpack
$13.99at our last price check
The last bag is the one we have the most doubts about. It is a clear PVC backpack with a front zipper pocket, two side mesh pockets and padded, adjustable shoulder straps. The title says "Stadium Approved 12x6x12" and "Kids & Small Adult". The second phrase is the one to believe.
The size problem
The listing says the bag complies with "stadium policies of 12×6×12 inches", and the detail table lists a 14-liter volume and a size of "12x6x12". But the third bullet gives the main compartment as 10.6 by 6 by 12 inches, and the detail table's own dimensions say 6 inches deep, 10.6 wide and 12 high. By that last figure the volume comes to about 763 cubic inches, or 12.5 liters, not 14. A 10.6-inch bag fits inside a 12 by 6 by 12 limit, which is the point. Before you buy it for a specific stadium, check that venue's current bag policy yourself.
The listing recommends it for ages 3 and up and shows it on an adult model. Buyers tell a different story about the straps.
| What the listing says | What buyers report |
|---|---|
| Padded, adjustable shoulder straps | "The straps are comically short. I'm 41 yrs old and even adjusted fully, they were too short." |
| 12 x 6 x 12 inch stadium size | "It seems smaller than listed. Definitely made for a tween and children." |
| Fits school and work use | "Please read if your looking for a kid school back pack ..this bag is not for school" |
| Waterproof PVC | "Great for concerts and other events. Even holds up to rain." |
Care, and an odd instruction
The care line in the detail table reads "Dry Clean Only". For a PVC bag that is a strange instruction, and it is almost certainly a mistake in the listing. We wouldn't send it to a dry cleaner. The listing gives no other instruction, so a damp cloth is the cautious choice.
This is the only bag in the group where low ratings cross the line we look for. Eight percent of 134 ratings are one star and 3% are two, so 11% in total. The size theme explains it: six of nine size mentions are negative, and every one of the negative excerpts is about straps or scale.
Topic counts as Amazon groups them on the product page, read November 14, 2026.
The happy buyers are parents of small children and concertgoers who carry very little. One bought it for a four-year-old's school bag and calls it "super comfortable". Another says, "my laptop fits", which tells you it depends what laptop you have. If you are an adult with broad shoulders, read the strap complaints twice. Fammart's page for it is here.
Who the stadium backpack suits
Read the buyers and a clear picture forms. The bag works for a preschooler or a young child who wants a backpack of their own and can carry toy cars or a snack in it; one parent uses it for exactly that, because the child "can get what they want out to play with". It works for an adult going to a concert or a game with a phone, a wallet and a jacket tied around the waist, who wears it over one shoulder for the walk in. And it works in the rain, according to one buyer.
It fails the adult who wants a real backpack. The strap complaints come from grown buyers who adjusted them fully and still found them short, and from a buyer who tried it as a school bag for an older child. If you want a clear bag for yourself, a tote or crossbody style that doesn't depend on strap length is the safer choice.
Five bags by the numbers
Before the comparison table, it helps to see the five bags by the size their own listings give. The volumes below are our arithmetic from the stated dimensions, not figures from Fammart, apart from the stadium backpack's listed 14 liters.
| Bag | Listed size | Volume, worked out | Rating, count |
|---|---|---|---|
| Striped canvas tote | 22 x 18 x 12 in | about 78 L | 4.7 from 1,006 |
| Jelly tote | 19 x 8 x 12 in | about 30 L | 4.8 from 732 |
| Makeup set, large pouch | 10 x 7 x 2 in | about 2.3 L | 4.6 from 368 |
| Makeup set, mini cube | 4.92 x 4.92 x 2.55 in | about 1 L | shared with the set |
| Snack bag | 8 x 7.5 in, flat | depends on what you put in it | 4.6 from 343 |
| Stadium backpack | 10.6 x 6 x 12 in | about 12.5 L, listed as 14 L | 4.5 from 134 |
The table makes one pattern clear. The more a bag is asked to carry, the more its buyers complain about hardware. The two pouches and the jelly tote have almost no failure reports, while the 78-liter canvas tote has the zipper, rivet and handle complaints. That is not a surprise, but it is a good reason not to overload the big tote just because it has the room.
A second pattern runs through the listings: they are written fast. The canvas tote calls itself both 100% canvas and a cotton blend. The makeup set is called corduroy and listed as checkered polyester. The stadium backpack gives two sizes and a dry-clean-only rule for plastic. None of these sink a product, but they mean you should read the photos as carefully as the words, and check the color you choose before you click.
How they compare
The two totes are the ones that compete with outside brands, so the search table below is for "waterproof sandproof beach tote".
Prices, ratings and monthly purchase counts as shown on Amazon search results on November 14, 2026. Highlighted rows are the products reviewed here.
Read the table for count as much as stars. The front-runner in reviews is a waterproof zip tote with 4,919 ratings at 4.7, which matches the striped canvas tote's rating on about five times the sample. Several rows at 4.7 to 4.8 have only a few hundred ratings, and one, at 4.8, has just 33. A mesh bag with eight pockets sits at 4.4 from 443, and a canvas tote with seven pockets at 4.7 from 207. A tote with a wet pocket and eleven compartments, 4.5 from 45, is priced well above the Fammart bags in the table.
What the table can't show is the trade between the two Fammart totes. The striped canvas tote is twice the volume of the jelly tote and has the lined wet pocket, but its complaints cluster on zips and handles. The jelly tote is smaller and less roomy, but its 89% five-star share and its near-absence of failure reports make it the safer buy.
| If you are... | Pick | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Packing for a whole family at the beach | Striped canvas tote | 78 liters, a zip top and a wet pocket for swimsuits |
| Packing for yourself at a pool or on a cruise | Jelly tote | Zips shut, wipes clean, 89% five-star ratings |
| Looking for a cheap pouch for a handbag | Makeup set | Two pouches, the large one only 2 inches deep |
| Packing a child's school snack | Snack bag | Easy for a 3-year-old to open, but eat it the same day |
| Buying a clear bag for a small child or a light concert load | Stadium backpack | Small and clear, with straps buyers call child-sized |
| Buying a clear bag for an adult | None of these | The stadium backpack's straps are too short for many adults, and the jelly tote is not fully clear |
If you want Fammart's mesh option, our review of the Fammart large mesh beach tote covers its open-top, nine-pocket bag. For other small Fammart pieces, see the Fammart checkered crossbody and mini clear pouch. The abshoo striped beach tote and clear stadium crossbody is the closest match from another brand, and you can browse every review in bags, totes and backpacks.
Who should buy, who should skip
Buy the jelly tote if you want one beach or pool bag for yourself that closes, cleans with a wipe, and has been loved by almost everyone who owns it. Buy the striped canvas tote if you are the parent carrying for four, and accept that the zipper and the handle joins are the parts most likely to let you down.
Buy the makeup set for the price alone, as long as you don't need it to stand up on a counter or hold full-size brushes. Buy the snack bag for a child's mid-morning snack, not for storing food for days.
Skip the stadium backpack if it is for you and you are an adult of average build. Its own title says "Kids & Small Adult", and the reviews back that up.
Verdict
We recommend the Fammart jelly tote without much hesitation and the striped canvas tote for families who need sheer space. We recommend the makeup set as a cheap, roomy pair of pouches. We recommend the snack bag for same-day snacks only. We don't recommend the clear stadium backpack for adults: buy it for a child, or for a concert where you carry very little and wear it on one shoulder.
Across the five, the pattern is that Fammart does best when the bag is simple and the job is narrow. The jelly tote, the pouches and the snack bag each do one thing, and buyers rarely find fault. The two bags that promise the most, the 78-liter tote and the "stadium approved" backpack, are the two where you need to read the small print before you buy.
Three easy buys, one fair one and a kid's backpack
The jelly tote and the striped canvas tote are the reasons to shop this brand, and the two-piece makeup set is a lot of bag for very little money. The snack pouch is fine but not airtight, and the clear stadium backpack has straps that adult buyers call child-sized.
- The jelly tote has 89% five-star ratings and a zip top
- The striped canvas tote is genuinely family-sized at 22 x 18 x 12 inches, with a lined wet pocket
- The makeup set gives you two pouches at a very low price, and buyers find them roomier than expected
- All five have zipper closures
- The canvas tote's zipper, rivets and handles draw most of its complaints
- The snack bag is not airtight, by the listing's own admission
- The stadium backpack's straps are too short for many adults
- Care rules are missing or odd on two listings
Best for: Families packing for the beach, and anyone who wants a cheap, well-reviewed pouch for makeup or a child's snack.
Skip it if: You want an adult-sized clear backpack for a stadium, or an airtight food container.
