Well made, too small

This is a very sturdy and well-made bag; unfortunately, it’s significantly smaller than I was hoping. I’m guessing they used a tiny, tiny person for the size reference photo, because I felt immediately misled when I opened the package. If the capacity were roughly doubled, we’d be talking.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Perfect for day travel

Have clipped this to my camera while walking around Paris. It adds little to no weight, it’s free to dangle! It was the best “just incase we see something” bag to bring along. The padded strap stays securely on my solder even when riding an e-scooter over cobblestone roads. Held a pair of sandals, a bottle of wine, you name it!

Using as mommy's bag

I bought the gray Packable Tote as a "mom bag" because my baby's diaper bag is so big. My stuff were getting lost in it, and I wanted a way to quickly extract my stuff without digging through it. Initially, I was going to use it as a bag-in-bag because it's so malleable and light. Now I use it as an independent bag and shove it in to whatever other bag or grocery bag I happen to be carrying around at the time. I
t's super light and crumple-able, so I can shove it in to essentially any other container or bag. Doesn't take up room, and I don't have to worry about it getting wet/soiled/misshapen/scratched (apparently it's even "self-healing?"). I rarely ever "pack it up" into the little pocket, but I definitely will be if I'm taking a trip or don't need it immediately but will later. The depth is also pretty big, so I can shove A LOT into here, including a thick sweater and a few swaddles. The opening is very wide so I can immediately see everything I have inside, making it easy to shove my hand in there and find my phone or car keys.
I like that while the strap wasn't as long as I'm used to with my other purses, it's just long enough and the opening big enough that I can stick my hand inside while holding the bag still on my shoulder and pull out my wallet to check out. I know it's weird, but when you're in a rush with a stroller or shopping cart, being able to take the same hand you have the bag hanging from and pulling things out is pretty useful.
One thing I noticed was that if I'm wearing a tank top, my skin sometimes flaked off on the handle because of the material. But when I just checked it again right now, it's come off, so seems like any of those things are pretty temporary.
For the price, the quality is amazing, and I use it every day! Love how light and malleable it is! One less thing to worry about as I lug my infant and 10 million things that go with them everywhere. Thanks so much for designing this! :)

Much smaller than expected
on December 17, 2022
Posted by: DSR
As other reviewers have pointed out, the bag is much smaller than the pictures make it seem. It is much closer to a drawstring bag you might take to the gym than a tote bag you would take to the farmer's market. Also, the quality is not just there compared to other PD offerings. I love Peak Design, but this one missed the mark.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I love the tote but I expected it to be little bit bigger. Its lightweight and easy to carry anywhere since it's foldable.

Great addition on any trip

Great, high quality package bag for any trip where you’ll need the extra carrying capacity. I use it for grocery runs, but also in cross country trips as a sale bag in the airport and on treks through the city.

Packs great

Been using it for a month and I’m overall very happy, the tote packs easily and fits in a small pocket of my backpack. Capacity is enough for small groceries, materials look durable.
