Small suggestion for more flexibility.

I really like the bag as I bought 3 of them. I have used it for the day recently in Zanzibar and Greece. I put the little tabs on the strap so I could carry it with my camera strap since I was using it for an all day excursion. It would be great if they could add the little cords like on the back packs so you can put the tabs and they would not slide up the built in handle.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Excellent tote with additional modification

I am on my second version of this bag and love it for shopping at a Mercat or a local Bodega when traveling and just finished using it for a 35-day adventure in Paris.
However, when I fill it and need to walk any distance, I find it gets heavy, and my hands are not free to photograph enroute. If you were to add two (2) Cord Hook loops tab stitched into the shoulder strap where it meets the zipper on the next version of the Packable Tote so you can sling it cross-body style with a Peak Design Slide camera strap.
Peak Design already offers this capability on the revamped Peak Design Everyday Tote 15L which comes with a removable padded shoulder strap to convert for cross-body sling carry. They just missed this capability on this bag.
Here is a completed modification adding a Cord Hook loop on the Peak Design Packable Tote to allow it to be used in a cross-body sling configuration.

Good bag, critical issue with the strap
on November 7, 2024
Posted by: sonofaselkie
Purchased this bag in oct. 2024 and unfortunately had to return it. The bag feels well made, zipper slides well, and the size you get relative to how small it folds up is really quite nice. The simple problem is that the shoulder strap is so, so, so short. The bag just ended up totally nestled in my armpit, and it was just not comfortable enough to actually use.

At this price should be much larger

I bought two a month ago. They are REALLY small for the price. They should be 1.5 to 2 times the size - large enough for a grocery shop.

Strong and Small

It’s an amazing, small, packable tote that definitely feels sturdy enough to pack to the brim. I don’t think I’ve ever encountered a bag as durable. However, keep in mind that it’s smaller than you might expect, and while the handle is really comfortable, it’s quite short. This makes it impossible for me to wear it over the shoulder once there’s anything inside.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great quality.

I’m very impressed with the quality And how light the material is I do wish it would fold up a little bit smaller, but I understand the material is quality and I don’t have too worry about it Ripping or tearing
I would recommend this to a friend!

Nice bag but too small
on February 25, 2025

It is packable and can be closed with a zipper so nothing will fall out or can be grabbed too easily.
Main downside for me is that it is too small and quite expensive. You can get similar bags for much less money which are larger (but then not closable).
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good idea, terrible button

The packable tote is a great idea, but it's seriously let down by the extremely bad button. It will not stay buttoned closed and it's clear you cut corners on it. New models should have a seriously strong one installed, and not the flimsy, shallow, plastic one you use.
