Don't order from Factory 21 for mugs or Oriental Trading for totes!

Hey all!

So, I just got married in Punta Cana and it was fabulous! However, I really regret ordering my OOT mugs from Factory 21 on ebay and my hibiscus flower totes from Oriental Trading! The ink on the mugs totally rub off and the ink on the totes do the same thing. I was pretty embarrassed. I felt like I looked super cheap!

The red ink dye on the red totes got all over my hands, skin, and t-shirt! Also, my mother-in-law's tote ripped the first day (towards the top).

The mugs were great for keeping drinks cold and the straw hole was awesome. The guests said they loved the functionality of them! However, the ink completely smeared off right away! It stinks too, because the mugs were super cute, affordable, and the customer service was great! Oh well! Good luck finding better ones!

Wow, good to know... thanks for the heads up! We were going to order the same tote bags, I think I'll look for different ones now

Wow, thanks for the review.  We were at one point going to order the totes from Oriental Trading before we decided to scrap the tote bag idea and go with regular fuchsia and orange gift bags since we couldn't get the totes in our colors.  

Sorry that happened, but congrats on your wedding.
