I enjoy the bag overall, the material, and the price. The handle material feels premium and is comfortable. The bag size is deceptive, it can hold a lot, the material has some give that lets odd objects fit very nicely. However, what is also deceptive is the strap size. I've never had a tote with a strap this short. In the photos it shows it over people's shoulders, but unless you are size zero skinny, it's not really going to go over your shoulder and hang, it's like a small purse or handbag strap length. It either needs a very slightly longer strap or an adjustable one (better option, IMO). I know that might increase cost, but for the rest of the bag being such a premium feel, it's odd that this one can really only be carried by hand, the photos seem a bit deceptive. I'd say the other flaw is the snap closure, it works, but even with packing it back in correctly it feels like it's about to pop open. Two snaps or even a Velcro or some other option would feel more secure. I will say that mine hasn't popped open so far, but packed it feels like more of a potato shape than the flatter shape I imagined. It's a great bag for the price, but the handle/strap is a bummer for me personally. Still totally useable, and a great deal at the price, but just not what I expected given the presentation.
This is my packable bag for travel. It easily fits into my backpack when folded up and Carrie’s a lot. It’s not check-able in my opinion. But definitely fits in the overhead or under the seat. I love that it zips. And the inside pocket snaps. The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars is that it does not neatly refold into the pocket. You kind of just have to stuff it into the pocket. Not ideal for my neatnik brain.
I grabbed this tote to throw in my everyday bag for travel to use as an anything bag for stopping at a store, laundry, etc. The quality is top notch, sleek and stylish and my wife is convinced I purchased for her so now I need a second one.
