I was so pleased to find my mental checklist for a tote bag fulfilled by this one, at a fair price for the quality. I wanted a medium to large, but not gigantic, tote with a shoulder strap, outside and inside pockets, a sleeve that fits over my luggage handle and water-resistant fabric in an attractive color. Even at full price, which I didn't pay (last season's color, perhaps?) I think this bag is a bargain. I was shown a bag from a well-known luggage manufacturer at an upscale department store that, on sale, was still more than this one at full price. Though sturdy and nice looking, it didn't have all the thoughtful and convenient features I was looking for; e.g., no pockets at all. I also have a Baggallini handbag that I plan to take on the same long trip for which I'm going to use the tote, and I'm so impressed by their designers.I have been so pleased with this purchase. The bag is soft enough to slide under an airplane seat but it can hold a lot! There are several well-placed pockets & the straps are sturdy & long enough to carry it on my shoulder. And it is very lightweight. I love the gray cheetah print; it's fun & stylish but neutral enough to wear with everything. And it doesn't blend into the sea of black bags so it's easy to identify as mine. This bag is very well-made & worth every penny!Bagolini makes terrific bags, and this one is no exception. It would be good as a commute bag, but I was looking for a personal item carry-on for travel. In the end, this bag was a little small for that purpose. The sides of the bag are stitched together, without a gusset, so the carrying capacity the bag is limited. I ended up buying a TravelPro tote that matched my suitcase. The TravelPro tote has a 5” gusset all around the bag - sides and bottom - which gives more carrying capacity.Love the colors! (Got the Billie and purple.) The material is sturdy and easy to clean. Great pockets for organizing and accessing items during travel. Very roomy. I am very happy with this purchase!Love this bag! It holds a lot and fits under the seat as a carry on. Zippers are sturdy. And outside pockets that are great for water bottle. The sleeve that fits over my suitcase handle make dealing with my luggage a lot more manageable. Would highly recommend.Love the durable quilted nylon exterior. Lots of pockets inside. Fantastic for travel.I have four Baggalini bags. 2 are purses (not shown here) and these two tote bags. If you’re trying to decide in size, the Medium is perfect for commuting (the silver one shown here) and the Large is perfect for short travel like weekend trips or maybe a week if you’re a light traveler (the black and grey print bag shown here). I have added a laptop to the photo for further size comparison. I do not love every Baggalini bag (I’ve tried many and returned many) but the ones I have are perfect for my needs and are very sturdy and comfortable to carry. I use the Medium tote bag every weekday as I commute, and it’s my favorite bag overall. I’ll be traveling for a week in October and have tested packing the Large for that purpose and I have plenty of room for what I personally need, but I am a simple traveler and try not to bring much.I was very disappointed to receive a bag that isn't padded nor does it have a firm bottom. It's more like the large canvas shopping bags that you can purchase in retail stores for a few bucks.
