Great as a Carry On

I bought this to replace a tote with a lot of pockets. Many pockets seemed like a great idea but I kept losing things in all the many pockets. This has fewer pockets and a big, wide compartment where I can pack things like a small bag for cables, charge banks and plugs and then another small bag for travel personal needs like hand cream and lip balm. I also find that I use that big compartment a lot for easily stuffing in things I don’t want carry around at a particular moment - like a jacket. Also love the wide variety of colors and the fact that the material is not fabric so it can easily be wiped down if something unexpected happens.

Does not stand up

I am very disappointed that this bag does not stand up when open, as advertised. It flops over every time. This is one of the main features that sold me. But it just flops on its side, even when opened up. False advertising. Do not buy if this is important to you.

I like the bag , but very disappointed that I ordered green and received navy. I was looking forward to the green.

Handy and compact

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like this bag a lot but feel that certain features restrict the ways that I can use it. The material is firm and holds its shape, making it easy to store upright or use for a laptop. It's big enough to fit my notebook, an extra pair of clothes, and my wallet inside, so it's a nice personal item to take on the plane. However, the handle is quite stiff and doesn't have any cushioning or softness, so it can be uncomfortable to carry after a while.

Chic, Useful and multi-purpose tote

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tote is SO AMAZING! I am about to start grad school and starting putting my books, laptop, notebooks and other necessities inside and was so amazed at all the space there is inside. Another very useful aspect of this tote is the water resistant material which makes it very useful for travel. The black color and material makes this bag look very chic. The bag also comes with a separate strap incase you want to make the very comfortable bag even MORE comfortable and longer for a different style. Overall, I would strongly recommend purchasing this bag I cannot wait to continue using it both in school and during travel.

Traveling Just Got Easier

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this tote! The dedicated laptop pocket keeps my laptop protected, and I love that it has separate pocket for my water bottle so it doesn’t take up much space inside the bag. The luggage sleeve is also a great feature, it fits securely over my luggage handle, which made traveling through the airport much easier! I dislike having to carry my bag on my shoulders! The only downside is that it didn’t fit very well under the airplane seat. I had to lay the tote flat to get it underneath, and even then, part of it still stuck out, leaving very little room for my feet during the flight. If you travel often and like to keep your personal item completely under the seat in front of you, that’s something to keep in mind.
