I bought this bag for a trip to the Dominican Republic and needed to be able to bring my laptop so I could work remotely for a few hours each day... I have a sleeve for my laptop (this bag does not have a sleeve), and I wasn't sure if my 16" laptop would fit but it did...yay! This tote bag is very roomy since I also had a 10" travel wallet that holds both my husband's and my passports, ID's, any travel documents/receipts CC's and Cash. TSA approved make-up bag, book, travel jewelry bag, reading glasses, sunglasses, charging port and a travel cable accessory holder, baseball cap and a small bag with my meds etc.. I used it as a backpack, but the handles convert to carrying it as a shopping tote too. It's nicely made and since I've been back I've continued to use it as my daily tote bag since it holds so much and it's lightweight.
