20 Best Totes For Travel (2022 Updated)

This bag was a surprisingly helpful item that I used for my personal item for my weekend flight. I used American Airlines, and the bag fit easily in the space designated under the seat in front of me.

The space in the bag allowed me to fit my crossbody purse, Nintendo switch, kindle, medium water bottle, glasses case. 2-3 snacks, chargers, passport, etc. all while being able to be zipped closed and it was incredibly helpful to keep all my essentials with me.

The zipper closes everything in to be more compact. The pockets were a pleasant surprise as they were plentiful. There is a small pocket in the front that fits your passport and boarding passes if placed vertically.

There is a pocket on that piece that slides over a suitcase handle. That pocket is nice and can fit a boarding pass horizontally. There is also a pocket on the left side that allows for a drink smaller than my water bottle.

The inside has two small pockets near the front for smaller items, like a phone, and the pockets toward the back are spacious and I fit chargers in there. The quality of the material feels durable and well made.

I can easily carry this bag over my shoulder even with all my items inside. The material attracts animal fur and some dust and lint, but nothing major.

I purchased the large weekender that opens like a suitcase. It stores alot of clothes I actually used for the weekend. Glad I have it. The only thing I don’t care for is. no wheels. The bag can get heavy to carry & schlep through the airport.

Other than that, it holds alot.

Great travel bag. Maximizes the space available under the seat in a plane and fits perfectly onto the handle of the carry on bag. I like that it is good looking without being over the top. I like to travel comfortably and not showy.

I bought this to replace my older bag of this style because the inside of my older one is coming apart at the seams (which shouldn’t happen, but it’s been my summer bag for years). Like so many things, the older version is much better.

The two big differences: 1) capacity and 2) the strap. 1) Despite having the same external dimensions, the older version is more spacious and holds more stuff — the main compartment holds more and it has two (two!) big pockets inside instead of the one that this version has.

2) The way the strap is attached to the new bag I received, it’s not possible to wear it without either the strap being twisted or the buckle facing (and pressing into) my body, and both of these options are very uncomfortable and annoying.

And I constantly have to fuss with the strap to minimize these issues. In contrast, the strap on the older version attaches to the bag with carabiner-type clips, so it can always lie flat against your body, with the buckle facing out, no matter which side of the bag you wear facing out, and you can always smooth out the strap in an instant if it ever gets a twist.

And bonus: you can remove the strap and stash it inside for easy packing or storage. I wish I had a new bag like the old one (or that its stitching had held up), and I would not buy this again with its current design.

I have had two of these (one black, one tan) for several years. I bought the tan one for travel, except I used it all the time. So I bought a black one for travel. Now I use them both all the time. The bag is just the right size for me, not too big, not too small.

Importantly, you can get a 12-oz water bottle into the big pocket, so you can smuggle it into museums where they don’t want you bringing water. I have health conditions that make it imperative to drink a lot of water.

Another HUGE PLUS. I put these into lingerie bags and machine wash them on cold with other like-colored laundry, then hang them to dry. Any bag gets a little grimy over time, especially when you travel, so the ability to wash these has been AWESOME! Sometimes I need to spot treat stains, but so far, they have come out looking like new.

Also, the adjustable shoulder strap is much appreciated. You can set it to the length that is most comfortable for you. Lots of pockets help to organize things. When I travel, I keep my passport and other important documents in one of the zippered compartments so they are quickly accessible, but safely stored (I live in terror of misplacing things!).

I keep a zippered plastic bag in the large compartment with a bunch of small stuff in it, which makes changing purses much easier. Anyway, I LOVE THESE! Oh yeah! PS. in a pinch, I can smush the purse into my backpack when some airline thinks I have too many carry-ons.

I have had this bag a few weeks and use it almost daily. It is at least my 3rd purchase to get just the right daily bag. This one is almost perfect. A few small design elements keep if from being perfect.

The size of the water bottle elasticized pocket is way too small – I would suggest an open pocket a bit bigger than the phone/umbrella pocket that it on the other side. Another feature that is not at all great is the elasticized pen holders.

The location over the zipper pocket is not convenient – pens block the pocket. Also, the pens slip in the elastic holders and wind up hanging down or completely fall out. The good stuff – the interior is light in color.

The key clip loop is convenient and the wallet clip is on the opposite side. The multiple pockets give space for lots of stuff used on a regular basis home – not traveling. I have the larger version for travel.

This one does have a luggage sleeve – though not so important in my opinion. I would rather of have a back pocket that can’t open at the bottom. I use the back pocket but worry the bottom will become unzipped and things will slip out.

I would prefer a separate bottom zipper compartment or one of the hidden, phone side pockets. The red color is great. The straps adjust well.

I actually bought available colors. First, the material is durable though it can attract lint which stand out in the black color, the blue doesn’t have that problem so much. There are plenty of pockets to hold all your stuff.

I carry my laptop, iPad, small tech accessories bag, a small bag for my laptop cords, another small bag for hand lotion, hand sanitizer, and hand soap (I can’t use hand soap that is available in public spaces, get small silicon bottles and carry your own, it’s worth it).

I carry my reusable silicon straws, two sets of reusable wooden eating utensils, my water bottle, and an extra tote for grocery shopping. The only problem is the extra padding at times and the bag doesn’t stretch out which for me is a good thing because it reminds that I’m already packing enough for what I might need.

The straps are comfortable to carry by hand or thrown over your shoulder. At times though one strap will fall off your shoulder so it would be nice to have the straps clip together. I initially bought the bag in black and almost returned it because it collected so much lint and dust.

Also, I spilled hand sanitizer on it and it left a stain but I was able to scrub it out with a wet cloth. I love the bag so much I also bought it in blue. My previous bag was a name brand that cost half as much but after about a month of use that bag started sagging and lost it’s shape because I’m rough on bags just with the stuff I carry.

Other than the material attracting lint, I haven’t had any issues with the Yeti tote and I seriously do love this bag.

I got this bag as a gift from my boyfriend for my birthday last month. Until this tote, I had been using heavy leather designer handbags to carry my work binders and folders along with my wallet and other various essentials.

I am a bit of a leather purse snob so never in a million years did I think a fabric tote would win my heart. This tote has a pocket for EVERYthing. My 12. 9” iPad Pro fits perfectly and there is a second padded media pocket inside for my 11” Pro and my iPhone.

The drop length of the handles means I can swing it up on my shoulder without a struggle. The waterproof bottoms is easy to wipe off and ensures that if I do have to set it on the (wet or dry) ground I can do so without worry and I know all of my paper contents will be safe and sound.

I actually find myself wanting to carry this bag instead of a fancy purses now. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS TOTE. If they release other colors I will be purchasing a second one. If they don’t release new colors, I will buy the black one just to have it.

If Yeti transforms this tote into a diaper bag, it will be game over for all other baby bag manufacturers. This tote is unmatched in every way.

First, as expected, this is an awesome bag. It has two pockets for all my Yeti Ramblers size bottles, as well as external zippers for documents, and iPhones, etc. , and internal pockets for lap top, iPads, and iPhones, wallets, etc.

I bought this for my wife for her frequent trips to New York, but much utility for other travel and daily use. I plan on using it myself. One issue continues to haunt me. This is the third expensive Yeti product I was hard pressed to register.

Lots of numbers on tags, boxes, labels, that was not accepted by software. The warranty example tag with SKU number was useless. Please note I have registered numerous Yeti products and have never had to return or complain about a single product (I don’t bother to register the numerous drink products I order), but registration is frustratiing.

Fortunately, this like other Yeti products, does not cause concern. I highly doubt I will ever have to complain about anything. Time will tell, but the quality of the bag is typical Yeti exceptional.

Just make it easier to register ordered products. Most products clearly mark the registration number. Not so lately.

just received this 2 days ago, and used it that evening to take a change of clothing, my Bucky Bag pillow, and a few toiletries for an overnight stay with a friend. I found the little outside pockets on the end were perfect to slip a tube of toothpaste, toothbrush holder, comb, and a pill case in to, eliminating the need for a toiletries bag (for me.

I’m perhaps atypically light on the toiletries for most women). The bag is very well made (no surprise for a Baggallini), and I particularly liked the pattern on the fabric (Geo Floral). I had purchased the bag to use for extended travel, as my carry-on bag.

I selected the Austin Tote in part because it was the same dimensions of another (non-Baggallini) tote I’d used for years but has worn out. However, I do find my Austin Tote bag holds less than the other bag of the same dimensions, and so will not quite fit my longer trip travel needs.

This doesn’t, however, affect my rating, as I don’t view this as a flaw in the bag. it is as it was designed to be. I think the other bag, made of cheap materials, stretches and sags, allowing me to stuff it more.

I like this bag so much that I’m keeping it, regardless of it having less capacity than I anticipated, and I’m going to order another larger tote that I’ll use for travel. Also want to say that I came shopping at Baggallini (my first visit as a shopper) because 12 years ago my mother gifted me with a Baggallini criss-cross bag purse, and I’ve used it non-stop since.

Still in great condition, due to the strong materials and superior craftsmanship that were used to make it. If you are looking for a smaller purse that provides fabulous organization and holds a lot for its size, get one of those!.

I bought this for an international trip where I was only allowed one carry on bag. I wanted something big enough to have what I needed for a long trip but not so big that I got tired of lugging it around through multiple airports and connections.

I was a little apprehensive about using a brand new bag that I had not tested out first but it ended up being perfect. Enough space for what I needed but also easy to carry around and easy to store underneath seat in front of me.

Two very small suggestions I have. The handles could be a little softer. After several hours of carrying it, my shoulder did get slightly tired. Another thing is that the luggage handle sleeve has a zipper at the bottom so that if you aren’t using it as a sleeve, you can zip it and use it as a pocket.

Problem is that if you have stuff in it and unzip it to use as a sleeve, the stuff falls out. So it’s easy to confuse it with the pocket on the other side that doesn’t double as a sleeve. I often found myself double checking to make sure I was putting my stuff in the “right” pocket, so my suggestion would be to somehow make them look obviously different so it would be easy to tell them apart.

Kind of a nitpick thing but just an idea.

This is an extremely well made bag. I thought that the inside would have a bit more room than it does. My makeup bag and wallet take up a lot of space. I like all of the pockets and pouches. The shoulder strap is narrow on the part that fits on your shoulder and causes it to slip off.

It would be nice if it were wide all around and had some type of a tip slip stuff on it. The long crossbody strap is great. I like the bag other than the two things I listed.

This bag is nice looking. However it is difficult to find things inside when used as a purse. In the case of this tote bag, a lot has been given to the untouchable, never-reduced, line of Harry Potter products.

They are not generally allowed to compete with other your other products when reductions take place. The color is great in this pattern. However, the characters are a bit difficult to pick out. The owl lining is great – too bad it’s not on the outside of something major in your line.

The bag was advertised as having a pocket for a wand. It took several tries to find it on the bag. It is not deep enough to carry the length of wand produced as Harry Potter styled wands. Cute idea but not for this bag and not at that depth.

I resent having to pay retail top for a non-competitive product. Owners of the trademark not allow for discounting? A troublesome cycle that eventually will defeat your best efforts. You’d probably tell me that the numbers show your plan works well.

But does it reward long standing loyal customers? I’m beginning to see a bit too much VB in my closet. After this purchase, I might slim it down. Who knows for how long.

With all the options on the Vera Bradley website, it can be a bit daunting to find just the item one is looking for. But after some time looking at different items. I decided to buy this one, and it is exactly what I wanted.

For me this bag is perfect — I love the zip top option (great for air travel, with the bag possibly tipping over), the variety of pockets (internal and external, zipped and unzipped), the length of the straps, the size (big enough to hold a journal, books, etc.

, yet still quite small). My only fear is that the straps will wear through quickly. This is why I always need a new Vera Bradley bag — it’s when the cloth straps simply wear out and develop holes. These straps seem ever-so-slightly less robust than in previous versions.

Hoping they are strong enough to last a goodly amount of time. Overall, however, this bag is a winner!.

I realized on my trip to Hawaii that my Baggallini tote from 10 years before was not big enough to carry all my pouches and iPad/laptop. It came just in time for an unexpected over the weekend trip to San Francisco.

Instead of putting my iPad in the front pocket of my carry on after security, I was able to put it back in the padded laptop compartment. I prefer carrying the tote on my shoulder as I navigate the aisle on the plane, but do use the trolley sleeve to place the tote on top of my suitcase as I walk through the airport.

I like that I can readily find the house keys attached on the leash rather than having to dig through the large confines of the tote bag. On the exterior slip pockets, I was able to put my Tervis hot/cold stainless steel commuter beverage container, my eyeglasses case, wipes, and the snack that I didn’t eat on the plane.

Zip closure for main compartment ensures that everything stays within and does not fall out. Interior pockets give rise to more organization. I used them to put my travel pill case, a small notebook and pen, and a jewelry case.

At the bottom of the tote bag, I packed a cube with a long-sleeve shirt and a casual shirt, and my pajamas. On top, I was able to put several pouches: a large planner pouch, the Vera Bradley Floating Garden cord organizer, the Vera Bradley Floating Garden cross body convertible to waist pack, and the Vera Bradley Floating Garden pencil case which can be used for unworn and worn face masks.

Bags do tend to get dirt on them with use and it is great that I can throw the tote into the cold wash with the face masks. I also like that there is a floral pattern in white such that the tote is not solid black.

I absolutely love this most recent purchase. My sister was admiring the bag as were my nieces which prompted them to go online to look for items for themselves.

This is my second purchase of this duffle bag; earlier I bought a camouflage one for my grandson. My grandchildren are 7 and 5 and these bags are the perfect size for a trip to grandma’s or a vacation.

They are well made, sturdy and durable. You also have many color/fabric options so there is sure to be something for everyone.

Coming to the web site to buy my second Rockland bag. I think I got the first one about 3. 5 years ago. I use and abuse it–hard–about every other day, and I’m starting to get worried about it now. So far, I’ve only lost a zipper pull (too lazy to fix it), but the corners are starting to look thin and worry me.

I’m surprised that this economy-priced bag has held up so well. I really love this bag. It has a place for everything, from big to small. Shoes, water bottle, towel in the middle, with room for a change of clothes (and lunch, if you cram it in there!).

The end pockets hold spare glasses, ipod, power pack, cables, CDs, snacks. And the smaller front pockets are ideal for gym card, hair bands, keys. If you don’t live out of your gym bag like I do, it might be a bit too big.

It’s going to be really hard for me to give up my pink paisley for one of these current graphic styles. Meh.

Just as others have said this bag seems durable. It holds a good amount of items. The bag has plenty of space for a gymnast. Change of clothes, water bottle, and shoes and out the door. I would recommend it.

This bag requires structural changes to make it work. It is not really jacquard or cloth (ignore what the description says) but a combination of recycled cloth and plastic. There’s a tag on the purse bragging about this.

Because of the plastic it gapes open at the top even when empty. The zipper compartment meant to protect your wallet, is a flat pouch in the middle of the purse. This means your wallet will not actually fit in it.

There are no pockets for your phone or keys. Because of the plastic material, it will be very difficult to sew on any kind of latch, zipper, flap, magnet, or mechanism to close the purse. There’s a problem with plastic: it’s noisy.

This is basically a Tupperware box that clacks and rattles when things move around inside it. You’re basically telling the world: “Look at me! I bought a knock-off!” Except of course I paid Coach prices.

I therefore expected, when buying a product labeled as jacquard, to receive a cloth product usable by a real person. I am not an Instagram influencer but a human with a job and a social life. Right now this is an imitation purse designed for an imitation person.

I hate root-root-rooting around in a purse to find a basic item like keys. It makes me a target. Open designs that require the purse owner to constantly dig around make them a sitting duck for robbers and worse.

I do not choose to be a victim so I will have to fix the purse before trying to use it. It will take several hours. I thought I was buying a wardrobe item but in reality it’s just one more chore and the end result still might not work because of how hard it is to sew pockets, liners, and closures onto plastic.

I do have to applaud Coach for achieving the perfect storm of design failure: total absence of several necessary features AND materials that make the design flaws very difficult to correct. I will see what I can do with a glue gun.

Before this purse can be usable it needs a phone pocket, a key pocket, a means to keep it closed instead of gaping open to attract every pickpocket in town, and some kind of liner to keep the noisy rattling under control.

This is my second review for this bag and I normally don’t do this. My first wasn’t pleasant, and after actually carrying my Tatum, I feel even less about her. I tried to like her, but ever since I received her, I haven’t.

She’s so cute in the pics, but she’s not structured like I thought she would be. (Guess I’m spoiled to my Lillie and Lora. ) The leather is very lightweight, making me second guess her durability as a carryall.

And the handles squeak like crazy. I tried jazzing her up with accessories, bag charm, etc. , but after actually carrying her, she failed big time. Zipping up the inside compartment is like zipping two pieces of cardboard together.

Not a girl friendly bag at all. Don’t think about carrying anything in the center compartment like a cosmetic bag, wallet, keys, water bottle, etc. Throws the bag completely off balance, makes it bulky, although she has depth and instead of the zipper being a straight line, it becomes curved.

And this is really from the cardboard like sides, no give. The open, outside compartments are no better. Paperwork, files, folders, tablet/laptop is all this bag is good for. If you like her just for that, then fine.

But as compared to my other carryalls, and wanting a bag to carry more than paperwork and tablet, she get a failing grade all day long. 👎🏼.

The chalk white version of this tote did not disappoint! Like pretty much all Coach products it is gorgeous; absolutely true to the photos. The leather was pleasantly softer than I anticipated and the stitching superb as always.

This bag is the perfect size for me: not too big and not too small. It’s large enough to hold my iPad and iPhone along with my wallet, makeup case, glasses and quite a few other personal items without bulging or being difficult to forage through.

The only down side was my buying experience; meaning I applied a discount code that reflected when placing the order but that “disappeared” when my card was actually billed. I decided not to deduct a star from the review because first of all, the representative with whom I spoke when I called in was pleasant and professional in tandem and did his best, despite not resolving the issue to my absolute liking.

He truly represented the company well. Secondly, it is the loveliness of the bag should be lauded rather than the less than spectacular buying experience. Overall, great job, Guys!.

I was looking for an oversized tote to use for swim lessons and the beach for my 2 young kids. It fits 2 towels and that’s about it. For my purposes I’d give it 2 stars but the quality of the tote is great.

Colors are vibrant and it feels very well made. The photos on the model really made it look bigger than it is but I tied I B should have looked at measurements to compare to bags I already own. So for those looking for a medium tote this is a great find.

If you’re looking for a functional yet stylish bag, don’t hesitate any longer! This bag is my absolute new favorite because of its versatility, capacity, and durability. Having 2 toddlers, I’m using it as my new diaper bag, beach bag, etc, but also for going into the office and the gym! Will definitely buy more colors in the future.

Bought as a gift for my partner and we both love it! The space saving pockets and secure Zips are wonderful uses of bag technology! The robust material on the handles make it so it doesn’t slip off your shoulder constantly, it’s a beautiful size for a trip out and hold everything you need.

Water resistant, sleek, androgynous and beautiful!.

I love this bag. It’s a great modern, practical tote bag that keeps your items organised and easy to access and find when in a rush. Fabric is durable and easy to wipe if you scuff the fabric. I love that it’s water resistant and the rustic colour complements my outfits.

It looks and feels well made. Received item 2 days after ordering online, another bonus!.

The bag was exactly as described. Sadly I haven’t used it for travel yet, but have used it going to a study day where I needed to take lunch, clothing layers, book, umbrella etc & there was plenty of room for everything.

Love the key ring feature, so you don’t have to empty the bag to find your keys at the bottom! I chose the Limestone colour & love it.

This is a much larger bag than I assumed after ordering it on clearance price – I didn’t read the description carefully. It looks well-made, the straps are strongly sewn. It’s too big for a day tote but would be just right for gym or a weekend away.

The lining has a nasty odor but a few days airing will dissipate that.

Beautiful teal color bag that’s larger than I expected. Will work as a work bag as well since the depth isn’t too wide as in most travel bags. Nylon material will be easy to clean. Recipient loved it! I would buy again at the sale price.

I am in love with this bag!!!! I was a little skeptical because the description does not give too much detail on strap drop but I ordered anyway. It is big, but I love big bags. You can use it as an every day bag, overnight or weekend bag.

The delivery was super fast. I ordered 2 days ago and it was delivered today 10/30/2020. You will not be disappointed!!!.

At first glance, this bag is tiny and cute. You can also change how to hold it. You can cross wear it, or hand carry depending on how you feel or your outfit. When you cross wear, you can change the size of the strap for your comfort.

This bag is very soft and fluffy, it feels like a puppy. It has a zipper so you feel secure. You can hook your key chains on the metal part where you hook the strap to cross wear it. This bag sure is mini, but surprisingly, it can carry varieties of different items like your phone, wallet, makeup pouch, to go perfume, and you sanitary pouch.

I like to use it as a lunch bag for school, but it can get heavy. Also if you spill food, and don’t wash it probably, it will leave a stain. Plus, since it’s covered in fur, if you apply perfume it lasts longer.

The yellow goes well with most colors like pink, purple, green, red, blue, and black. This is the only bag I wear, and I wish there were more colors. With the yellow bag, I’ve been told that I look like the Japanese kindergarteners wearing their uniforms.

But overall, I think it’s worth the money!.

I saw a lot of people recently sporting this cute tote bag purse from Marc Jacobs, and just knew I had to get my hands on one for myself as well. Since the pandemic, I have downsized my purses a lot, but still needed a compact purse that can still carry a lot.

I love that it’s got a crossbody option too, which is so convenient when you need to keep your hands free, but your purse close to you. It’s not bulky at all, and is extremely well made. From the moment I received it, I was totally in love! I got it in slate green, a gorgeous neutral color that goes with everything.

I received so many compliments on it because it really is a beautiful, yet simple and practical bag. And don’t let the word “mini” deceive you, because even though it is labelled as a mini bag, it can really hold so much! So if you are deciding whether or not to purchase this, just go ahead and do it!!! You will not regret it!.

Okay so I really love the material, size and color of this bag. I got the slate green. However upon arrival and inspection I noticed minor details that are so small but also annoying. I knew it would be a gamble being that it’s a canvas material.

But I quickly noticed that one of the straps on the back handles of the bag, is a more faded green. Almost as though it burned in the sun. On the front of the bag I also noticed a small dark spot underneath the Marc jacobs logo.

Its like a dark mark that could pass as a small water stain maybe. I don’t know. It’s minor imperfections I guess. But I’m going to keep the bag because it’s cute, small, can carry all my essentials.

and I don’t want to have to deal with mail in returns etc. but just be cautious that it is canvas and it may have small minor imperfections you may notice the same way I did from the get-go.

I love love love my new bag!! It is quality durable leather with a beautiful shine and gorgeous hardware. This is my new favorite bag. It is not too big, but can still fit a lot inside. Also, I customized the strap and the response from Magda was super quick.

I received it a lot earlier than anticipated.

I liked my case! It protects my phone well. The only thing that I didn’t love was that the dark brown leather piece part of the case looked lighter in the pictures shown. The actual one I received is much darker.

Is absolutely beautiful. Requested dimensions so my iphone6 plus with a case would fit in. It fits in perfectly. Very good communication. Received it quickly. Love it.

This has gone from a questionable purchase (I wasn’t aware it was nylon when I ordered it) to my absolute favorite purse of all time. It has room for everything! I keep finding more places to stash items! When I misplaced my lipstick, I searched the purse 6 TIMES looking for it- finally I discovered it in yet another zippered, hidden compartment.

I’m thinking I can even get it to double as a camera bag on trips. It’s so amazing I’m thinking of ordering 2 more for my daughters. No regrets!.

I bought a previous bag on sale from Kate Spade that was the exact size and style as this bag, only it was made of leather. I was shocked when I opened the box to find a nice purse made of shiny nylon and not leather like the previous purchase.

They clearly used photoshop in the photographs to make the material look flat like leather instead of cheap shiny nylon. I am very upset that I was mislead into purchasing this non-returnable item.

I thought this was finally going to be my perfect work tote. I love the look, the compartments, and the size, but two things need to change to make it “perfect. ” First, enlarge the side pockets so you can fit a 24 oz water bottle, like a hydro flask, or a coffee travel mug (even if you just have one side pocket).

Second, the straps are too thin and dig in to your shoulder if you put a laptop or books inside.

This bag is voluminous without being bulky. Bought for an upcoming trip on an airline with weight restrictions even in business class but used it last week on our regular carrier. We are carry on only and this bag holds a lot while still sitting on top of wheeled bag.

The interior slip pockets on the front wall are great for organizing smaller items. I was concerned about the trolley sleeve due to other reviewers stating it was too small, but perhaps they didn’t unzip the bottom completely.

It slid easily over the handle of my three carryons that I use from three major brands. We travel a lot and I change out bags according to my needs. I will be able to pack all of my camp clothes in packing cubes for an Australian adventure with bush planes (10kg weight limit and no wheeled bags allowed).

I wish I had bought this years ago for South Africa bush trips. You need this bag.

This is a versatile bag with an eye catching pop of color. The interior includes 3 unpadded open pockets where I keep my sunblock, tools, pens, and other small essential items. There is also one unpadded zipper pouch which I use to store money and basic first aid items.

The main compartment has ample room for a light sweater, tech items, magazine, park maps, snacks, and 16oz water bottle. I found that my 32oz water bottle was too tall for the tote and made zipping the bag awkward.

Neither water bottle would fit in the interior pouches and there is not another dedicated spot for a water bottle, which i would have preferred. I plan on keeping the tote in my SUV so that I can grab it and go for whatever adventures pop up throughout the day.

I use this tote when traveling cross-country via Amtrack. A bag like this is handy when using one of Amtrack’s sleeping car options. This tote is particularly hand because of the interior pockets. Other totes I’ve used don’t have pockets so it’s difficult to find specific items.

Also the tote is pretty much waterproof. It also has a slide pocket so it can be looped on the handle of wheeled luggage. It is a bit larger than I imagined, even after I noted the posted dimensions, but I still think it’s a good design.

Exactly what I wanted. Light and functional.

Love my new bag. Practical, comfortable and so very handy

This us the smallest member of the carry bag family. Nice deep black.

Recently I purchased a Women’s Essential Tote bag in Mallard Green for my wife as a gift. It was our first purchase from Rothy’s and may not be our last – she really loves using it every day and we both are impressed by the quality of construction and clean, modern style.

She’s in love with the colors! She ironed out the shipping folds as instructed on the tag, and she loves how the bag stands upright by itself when placed on a surface. I think, functionally, a built-in water bottle strap on the inside would be a great addition since the interior volume of the bag is generous.

However, I feel I need to voice my constructive criticism concerning the packaging. Upon arrival, two of the box corners (short vertical edges) were torn open, so much so that a person could easily probe their finger inside the box and feel the fabric of the bag.

To discover the packaging is only just enough to survive the mail delivery transit process – considering the price of the bag – to me, is unacceptable. The bag was untouched, thankfully. Please consider redesigning your packaging for stronger reinforcement and adding another layer of protection between the bag itself and the outside box.

So far I am loving this bag. I busted the seams on my last Patricia Nash tote bag because I just need to bring too much stuff to work. This bag is sturdy! I take my iPad Pro, shoes, lunch, gym clothes, organizing pouches, water bottle, and the Rothy’s Belt purse everyday.

It stands upright whether packed full or not. It’s comfortable on the shoulder. I love that it can be zipped and slim when it’s not fully loaded. I bought the belt purse as well to throw in it, and loving that too.

I did buy Lily Jade zip pouch organizers, which are slim, and Thread slim wallets. My only wish is for one more pocket on the inside or outside for the phone. I keep the inside pocket clear for quick access things – AirPods, a pen, an emergency mini flashlight, or the thread wallets.

All my other odds and ends are in the Lily Jade organizers. I have already gotten so many compliments on the color.

I have several pairs of Rothy’s shoes and absolutely love them! I purchased the Ink and Ivory clutch in November and received gift cards so I could purchase the matching essential tote. When it arrived, I was so excited and could not wait to use it! The tote is a bit heavier than I expected (without contents) so when I add the laptop, planner, make up bag, wallet, phone, and keys, it is even heavier! The clutch holds my wallet, phone, and keys, which makes It so convenient.

Although the small zippered pocket in the tote is nice to hold my phone (if it isnt in the clutch), I do wish there was a key-ring strap attached somewhere in the interior for no-lost and easier access to keys.

(I am an educator and keep my work keys separate from my car/house keys. ) Of course, I love that the bag can be laundered. This purchase came with a dust bag and a laundry bag. The fact that it can be washed makes it worth every penny!.

I wanted these to sell alongside my artwork to have something different to offer. Not only are the colors off, the black is a faded greenish black which is awful. There are also circles within the black that shouldn’t be there.

It looks like color got missed. I can’t sell these at all, so what am I supposed to do with them? Waste of money. The only positive side was I liked the bag quality, but the print design is aweful.

I received my tote today and although the design looked good on it, I noticed some peeling of the image. The canvas material is a little nubby and perhaps that’s where the image didn’t adhere. The image also feels like a thin iron on or tattoo that can come off easily.

Not satisfied and would not be able to sell my design with the poor quality of image coming off. The bag does seem sturdy but the point is having an image that’ll last.

These are good sized bags to give away for conventions and other promo events. My logo came out beautifully. The fabric is lightweight, and there are no pockets, but they are a good size. I am using them as goody bags, and there is plenty of room to fill them with fun stuff.

These (I purchased 2) are the 3rd and 4th bags that I’ve purchased, because they’re PERFECT. Not only are they roomy, but the mouth is large enough to accommodate 2 side by side columns of folded clothing, while packing.

The leather is soft and sophisticated. The stitching is strong. This is an excellent by! I just have to remember that it comes in 2 colors, the next time I purchase one!.

I purchased the tan leather rolling bag with the excellent, durable, scratch resistant leather. This bag should last for many years. It fits easily into overhead compartments on different aircraft and is really easy to load clothes etc into the wide opening that results when the bag is unzipped and opened.

Great design and perfect size for hauling stuff for myself and my wife through busy airports. It’s sturdy, the right width for pulling down the aisle on the way to one’s seat on planes and easy to store overhead.

The two handles are unnecessary and can get hooked on things while towing the bag in “close quarters”.

I fell in love with this tote when it was originally released, & missed out. I considered other, similar totes, but decided to wait. I am SO glad I did! It is the perfect every day tote. I use it to go back & forth to the office; it’s great for carrying a laptop/heavier items.

The straps are wide enough and super sturdy. They don’t cut into your arms like other totes. Also, the detail on the straps takes it to the next level! I love my Lucy boots, so I shouldn’t be surprised, but the quality of the tote is unmatched.

I have never seen a tote with the thickness and quality of leather, at such a reasonable price. Definitely the best purchase of 2022!!!.

The tote is light weight and made of extremely soft leather. So it is “fluid” and rest nice against the body. It’s a very nice shade of (Medium) that will blend with all different shades of brown. There are no dividers inside, and has two interior pockets, one open, where I keep my cell phone and one zippered keeps my spare keys, so no lock outs.

I use mine as an everyday purse and Iam use to lots of pockets and dividers, so I use two, light weight, cloth, zippered cosmetic bags inside to organize myself. One is for things like pens, note tablet, collaspable scissors, tape measure, etc.

The other keeps my makeup items, eye drops, pill case. things like that. So, I feel very organized for quick finds. I haven’t had my tote for very long, but I already know I will love this bag always.

P. S. and there is still alot of room inside if you want to carry more. Very well constructed and should last my life time. If you are debating, get it. Tecovas hit it out of the park again!.
