"I read the reviews before purchasing these, so I was expecting them to be small, yet I was still surprised over how small they really were. However, the measurement is true (6 inches); so be sure to consider that size against what you are planning to use them for. Also, the bag is made out of a cheaper material - not canvas like I was expecting. I used them for treat bags at my 8 year old's birthday party and they were adorable for that purpose. One more thing to consider...the pink bag is the brightest & cutest color (almost neon). The other colors (green, blue, purple) were much more dull and not what I would consider "tropical". The 8 year olds were fine with "who got what", but younger girls may fight over the pink bags."
