The perfect packable tote!
on March 28, 2026
Posted by: rlucas
from London
I bought one, and then bought one for my partner because I loved it so much! We used these for 6 months travelling and they are the perfect packable tote. The zip means your stuff doesn't fall out of it. The fabric is sturdy but lightweight so it packs down small. By far the best thing we took with us. We used it for food shopping, transporting clothes and everything in between. I can't recommend a bag more. We had ocean and eclipse and they lasted well (still in great condition) despite constant use over the 6 months.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Used this almost daily for a year to carry my work clothes , lightweight, durable, and packs down small. Great as a backup bag.

Super handy

I’ve been using it for a year now and it’s holding great, very reliable bag. Groceries, litter, and occasional travel use, all I wanted it for works for me. And it’s really easy to clean and doesn’t hold any odor. Would definitely buy again.

Smaller than expected and missing cross-body strap
on February 22, 2026
Posted by: Andrew
Others have pointed out the relatively small size of the bag, which is smaller than expected from the product advertising. Having said that, it’s really convenient to carry round in my backpack and be there to help with shopping on the way home from work. Where it fails for me is in the fact that I ride a bike, and shoulder version slips off and is inconvenient for the legs. If this had a cross-body strap option, and was 50%-100% larger, I’d happily buy again.

Extremely Wrinkled – Not What I Expected
on February 18, 2026
Posted by: WRT
I purchased this packable tote assuming the material would maintain a clean appearance even when in use. However, that is not the case at all. The bag becomes heavily wrinkled the moment it is unfolded or carried, and it looks very cheap and worn out.
I understand that “packable” items may crease slightly, but this is excessive. The product photos do not reflect how the bag actually looks in real life. I’ve attached photos to show the condition after simply carrying it. It does not resemble the advertised images.
Unfortunately, I regret this purchase and would not recommend it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

One of the best travel accessories. Compact and hidden when you don’t need it. Big and durable bag when you need it!

Great fort ravel and everyday use

I bought two of these to carry bike items (rain gear, water bottle, food and helmet) for a bike and barge trip with my wife. Made it very convenient to carry all of our gear from room to bike and back to the room at the end of the day. My wife also used this tote on the way home as a carry-on for souvenirs. We now use them in our vehicles for the grocery store or farmers market. I like the fact that they are very compact and do not take up much room when traveling or storing in our vehicles. These tote bags are very well made and I think the quality
of the materials is excellent. I do wish they were a little bigger.

Great things come in small packages

I carry one of these in each of my bags. It’s been a lifesaver on several occasions. I love how small it gets but also how light it is
I would recommend this to a friend!
