Indispensable bags
on July 27, 2026
Posted by: jbmulc
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!

Perfect bag for the purpose. One shoulder strap is the right form factor. Great product.

Great tote but read the label for cleaning care!

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.
Otherwise, outstanding product!

Newer version is disappointing

Bough the eclipse version.
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.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Go-to travel bag.

Great bag: strong, stylish, impressive capacity. I like that you can use the little pouch it stuffs into as a small pocket in the interior when in bag-mode. I do find it’s so spacious that I loose things in the interior when it’s full, so another little internal simple pocket would make it 5 stars for me, but I appreciate that’s maybe more of a ‘me’ thing than any critique of this excellent bag. It’s been my go-to ‘handbag’/shopping bag/bus bag/around town bag/day hike bag during 2 months of travel, and when not required it disappears into virtually thin air. So good.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Excellent tote

I bought this recently to use on air flights - as a tote I can pull out with what I need on the plane. It is fabulous. Since then I have used it for lots of events - outdoor concerts to pack an extra sweater for example. It folds up and is so lightweight and strong. I love it!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have this in all the colours. These are a very handy tote to carry and use with the zipper closure.
I would recommend this to a friend!
