Bought this about 3 months ago, and this has been more useful than my designer bags. It is very light and disappears on you, as it is lighter than any bag or purse. At the same time, you could put anything in it. If you go out and about, you will always have a place to add small items that you did not expect to carry. No need to worry about which purse you should carry, whether it's too big or too small.
This is a nice tote bag. It feels study in build quality and I like that it has a zipper. I keep it in my sling bag in case I need some extra carry volume like an impromptu need to go to a store.
I was a product designer, and I love the way this bag is build. The strap allows the product to 'glide' along your clothing (an issue I hate with regular fabric tote bags). It is packable within about 15 seconds too.
I am a very auditory person, and the bag is very quiet (I love IKEA bags, the reason I stopped using them is loudness) - these bags are silent.
I also love the zip function, as often things fall out of totes when left on the floor - and also I just don't want my mother in law to know if I've brought 'snacks' in the house when I come home from a food shop...
I have two of these bags in charcoal and they are indispensable! I carry them everywhere on a daily basis and they fold up into a tiny pouch for traveling. The zipper closure has kept me from losing eye glasses and other precious items that often disappeared in the past. Highly recommend!
Super fan of the PD packable totes here but passing along a quick caution to those who pick up the latest colors (ex. orange) as the label provides important care instructions - "surface clean only". I failed to read that and was sad to see the state of my bag after a trip through the laundry. An interior layer of plastic has peeled from the surface.
Note: the original Charcoal bags I have owned for years are constructed differently, do not carry this warning, and are laundry-safe.
I have a grey and a kaki and found this new one not only shiny ( looks Cheap) but the material is very different to the touch ( feels a lot cheaper- considering the price hike is not worth it).
I sent it back as I find the newer version very disappointing.
