Nice looking new but stained after a few uses

I bought this tote in Sage a few weeks ago for running errands and light shopping. I’m petite so the short shoulder strap doesn’t bother me too much as others have mentioned (although I agree that adjustable strap would be better). The main bummer for me is that the material is prone to stains— mine already has quite a few blotches that looks like something oil based and could even be from coming in contact with my hand lotion. I don’t know but I can’t seem to remove them with soap and water.
This has become my everyday bag, and I wound up buying all three colors. One has basic gym stuff in it, and one is an actual extra bag. I love that it has a zipper, and the non-slip handle is perfection, especially on top of my slippery raincoat fabric. The size and handle drop length have been perfect for my 5’4” height. I’d love a basic backpack in the same material since I find the current backpacks’ fabric abrasive. (Also, considering women typically have shorter torsos and have breasts, give us 16” backpacks, s straps, and sternum strap.)
Quite the hidden find, the packable tote has become one of my favorite items that I own. I use it as a reusable bag for groceries, a beach bag, and a to-go bag when I’m traveling, exploring new cities, and craft fairs. The material is extremely lightweight but seems quite durable, and I really appreciate the lifetime warranty if there are any unexpected flaws. I love the color options as well - I have a dark one and a sage one.
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.
The Peak Design Packable Tote is an incredibly versatile and practical bag that’s become a go-to for daily errands and travel. It’s lightweight yet durable, with high-quality fabric that holds up well even when packed to the max. I love that it folds down into a compact size, making it easy to keep on hand for last-minute trips or extra storage. The minimalist design is stylish and unisex, which adds to its appeal. Overall, it’s a fantastic blend of functionality and style. Highly recommend!
Used it on a trip to Japan and stowed it with my backpack. Was handy to store jackets and other loose items in a pinch. Then easy to stow away when uneeded
