Melinda, a Thirty-One consultant, contacted me and asked me to do a review and giveaway for Thirty-One products. I chose the Organista Crossbody Bag because I was looking for a small bag that would hold everything I need to take with me, yet be out of the way so that I could use both hands when I am out and about. The Organista bag fits that description quite well. Just look at all the stuff I fit in this 9.5″ X 7.5″ bag:
All the things pictured above, plus my camera and a pill bottle, fit in that little bag! I have been very satisfied with the functionality of the Organista. I took it to Florida on vacation with me, and I was able to have everything I need right there with me.
I like that there are slots for debit and credit cards, and window for my ID. A zippered change pocket is quite handy too.
Melinda is giving one of my lucky readers a $31 gift certificate to use to order the item of their choice from her Thirty-One Website. To enter the giveaway, use the Giveaway Tools form below. OH! and don’t forget, if you’d like to become a Thirty-One Consultant, Melinda can sign you up! Check out her web page for details.
I LOVE 31 bags! I have been pleased with each one I’ve gotten. My favorite is the organizing utility tote. I have at least 3 or 4 of them in different patterns. They make GREAT knitting bags! (and library bags, too!)
I use mine for yarn too! I’m using them instead of Christmas stockings for my grandchildren this year.
They are the best, Michelle, what’s your favorite pattern right now? Mine seems to change weekly!
I would love to get a large utility tote, they are fab!
They sure are, Nicole, and they are our June Monthly special, too! Spend $35, get a LUT for just $10!
I have been looking for something, when a backpack is just too much.
Our cinch sacs are great for that, add a mini zipper pouch or thermal tote for lunch and off you go!
I SOOO want to win so I can get the Organista Crossbody Bag!!
It’s a great one, Donna! I love that you don’t even need a wallet when you wear it!
i would get the organizing shoulder bag in dark denim or lotsa dots
That’s a great bag, Jenny! I’ve got the dark denim (and the lotsa dots in our Casual Cargo bag for a larger option) and it’s perfect for everyday and travel, so light to carry!
I would choose one of the thermal bags
The new Out and About and Lunch Break Thermals are such great sizes, Beth! The Out and About fits perfectly in my bicycle basket 🙂
I like the one you have, because it’s simple! But, i also like the Elite Retro Metro Bag! 🙂
Which pattern would you choose, Lisa? I love the fun stitching on the grey elite retro metro, so fun!
The Organista Crossbody Bag is the one for me…. 😉
Which pattern would you choose, Donna?
I REALLY need that bag!
HaHa..that’s the feeling I have about all of our bags, Debbie and how I got into this fantastic “job” of being a Thirty-One Consultant! Which pattern do you like best?
You look great wearing your fun Organista Crossbody, Karen! I’m so glad that you like it; our products are so useful and stylish, all of the patterns and the fact that they can be personalized just adds to the Thirty-One fun! Don’t forget to join my fun fb group: Melinda Stawicki, Personalized Gifts! Good Luck everybody!
I love the Hang-Up Home Organizer!
Me too, Andrea! I have the 3 as a group in my office with “Celebrate” Encourage” and “Reward” personalized on them…our Thirty-One key-words….I LOVE this company!
Oh gosh I don’t know what I would buy. Because I have so many products already from Thirty One! Love that company. I think I would buy another cover for the purse I already have. 🙂
Sounds like you should consider being a Consultant, Alison! I love everything, too! I can answer any questions you may have about joining, just let me know! The skirts in the summer Catalog are darling!

I’d pick the retro metro wallet in woodblock floral!
OHMYGOSH! This is perfect. I am using the large organizing utility totes for our grandchildren (14 of them!) for Christmas this year instead of stockings. So I would use this towards the purchase of one, AND, then I’d get a 2nd one for $10. The June special is for every $35 your spend, you can get a large organizing utility tote for just $10! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT! (by the way, I’m having party right now if you need to order, lol)

We’ve got some great ones for that ! I’d recommend the Organizing Utility Tote, the Keep It Caddy, and especially the Lil’ Expressions Tote where you can put boys, girls, cats and dogs and dress them up paper doll style on your bag with their names underneath!
I would choose the Oversized Storage Organizer or the Hang-Up Room Organizer.
