i use the bag that came with a camp chair that i used to have.

the problem i find with most mat bags on the market is that they are not big enough to carry thicker mats.
i use a mandara, and it simply will not fit in the cute trendy bags currently on the market.
this is the kind of chair i'm talking about.
i don't think the bag is pictured.

this bag is also big enough to hold a block and some straps.
i use a big backpack to carry my blankets around.

cute is the last thing I am worried about in a mat carrier. I care that it works.

My brother got me a really cute bag..but it has the drawstring top. Problem was that my sticky Harmony mat didn't go into the bag- too sticky. So, I took it to a tailor and had it modified. We closed the drawstring end and added a zipper the length of the bag. Now, it's great!! So, that would be my suggestion- eliminate the drawstring and add a zipper instead.

Ah bags, my favourite pet hate with yoga. I practise Iyengar so have a stack of polestyrene bricks and blocks, straps, etc to tote alongside my mat. I also carry a little gymnast's chalk. So, any bag big enough to pack all this in with separate sections for mat, tools, chalk, and kit would be fabulous. If it had a selection of methods of carrying, it would be five star. Just send the prototype to me for testing :-)

Fee - before we had a studio we carried all of our props, including blankets. I had a HUGE heavy duty nylon bag for awhile then gave up and found two bags worked better. When we travel in the car, I have figured out ways to keep the bulk of the props down, but often I just don't take any more than a mat and strap and improvise the rest. I would love to have a folding chair that REALLY folds up small. That is one thing I never (yet) have taken along with me

just take an old pair of cargo pants - cut off one of the legs to length, sew the other end up and *poof* your own mystical magical yoga bag!

add straps for carrying to taste.

Tourist, I hear you! I wish I could take my pet bolster to class but as I don't drive and have a 3/4 hour walk to get there, it's a non-starter..... hey, perhaps this mega kit bag should be on wheels!

Fee - ok, I know what you mean when you say "pet bolster" but I keep imagining a bolster stuffed with fluffy kitties and puppies! It would be warm but wiggly!

Bit like my bed on a cold night... my girly cat, Nutmeg likes to curl up under the duvet with me
