Product description
The set consists of a 14” baby doll, a doll sized folding beach chair with umbrella, one imitation bottle of lotion and a carrying bag in which all the items are packaged. The carrying bag is a generic duffle style traveling bag made of clear plastic sheeting. It has a fabric shoulder strap and a textile handle that have been sewn on. Dimensions of the bag are approximately 11” X 14” X 7”. The bag has no inner compartments and zips closed around three of its sides. It is the opinion of this office that the carrying bag is not a toy in its own right as it is designed to store and transport goods. The bag is not usual packaging for these particular toys, and upon removal of its contents, may be filled with any number of personal belongings for storage and/or transport. It is well constructed and capable of repetitive use. The bag must be classified separately. Your sample is being returned as requested.
