I love this bag set. The matching card is a bonus. There is not an envelope, but I plan to tape my gift card into the card. The size of the bag is true to the measurements provided. This isn't flimsy. The sides and bottom seem to be good quality. With almost all gift bags, the handles are just ribbon. You'll need to tie a knot at the ends if you plan to carry it by the strings. This will shorten them a lot. Also, you only get two sheets of tissue paper. Depending on your gift, you may need more to cover. The set of three matching items for this price is great though.
