Basic purse love!
I have been looking for a basic brown leather bag for a few months and have not had any luck finding one without any extra details on it. I needed something that I could wear with black or brown and not have to worry about it all matching exactly.
I agree with the other reviews that the handles are a little flimsy and would have liked them to be be maybe an inch longer so I could just swing it onto my shoulder with one hand. Other than that one wish I don't have any real complaints about it.
The bag is deep enough that I can see everything in my purse without having to dig.

Loved this bag for 3months
This is by far my most favorite purse I've ever owned it's perfect size, color and so pretty. ....but that only lasted 3 months. it stains so easily and the bottom got so damaged. Super disappointing.

Bag itself is great; straps, not so much
This bag is quite large, but much lighter than my smaller Coach tote. Works well for me because I'm 5'9", but would probably look a bit silly on someone who's 5'2". It's also a very nice leather and is truly "made well." I purchased the black with the saddle straps, which are beautiful. The only problem is that the straps are partially "unfinished," which is to say, the edges and the undersides are not smooth and finished, but are rough. This caused some pulling on the Caslon ribbed cardigan I wore this morning; I imagine it could also be a bit uncomfortable on the arms. Would be much better if straps were finished on all sides. Also, would be better if the bag had a lining. I will still keep it, however, as it's a great value at $168. Very basic, but quite elegant, especially the black with saddle straps. Not sure why a reviewer in her 50's said she thought it would be better for someone in their 30's. I'm in my 50's and like this bag MUCH better than some of those flashy Michael Kors bags; all they need now is to have an even Larger 'M' that lights up!!!

Just okay
The Madewell Transport tote is a very classic and simple bag. I found the handles to be very thin and flimsy, and I would worry that they would rip over time. The leather seemed mediocre to me and could pass for a fake pleather bag from a chain store. I was not impressed by the tote at all and returned it immediately.

Versatile, classic tote
The Transport tote is simple and classic, great for everyday use. It's quite large and can carry an impressive amount. It's simple but well constructed. No issues with the stitching or leather thus far. There's a decent sized zippered compartment sewn into top of one side that's perfect for easy yet protected access to your wallet, cell phone, small valuables, etc. I like using other smaller bags within the tote to keep things organized as the bag is quite deep.
I love the shade of the English Saddle leather. It pairs well with everyday casual wear (especially denim) and can be dressed up too.
