Oversized Functional, Durable, and Stylish Canvas Tote
Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2017
This oversized canvas tote is my new go-to bag for daily all-day use. I bring it with me to work and for errands not only because it is handy, but because it is also stylish and has a huge volume capacity. I can fit my large 15â Macbook plus more in this tote without any issues.I ordered the stylish neutral gray, which ended up being a dark warm-tinted gray in person. This is perfectly fine for me as I love monochrome colors. The whole tote exterior is made of thick durable canvas material and contains three small pockets on the outside and one additional zippered pocket. The zippered pocket is appropriate for keeping cash, cards, and receipts, while the three other pockets can conveniently store a cellphone, receipts, and other smaller items like pens and writing utensils.The interior of the bag is lined with smooth fabric and includes a zippered compartment. What I like about this bag is that the main compartment can be zipped up as well for extra security. You wonât need to worry about someone sneaking up behind you and taking things out of your bag anymore. The handles are large enough to loop around your shoulders and are reinforced due to the sewn folds.I think the only thing that can make this bag better is lining the bottom with reinforced material such as leather or an extra layer of canvas. Adding small rubberized feet may be a great idea as well so the canvas material on wonât get worn out as quickly.Overall, this is definitely my new favorite multifunctional tote. I seriously adore the spaciousness of this bag and will be using it constantly until it wears out.
It works

It's not exactly what I expected. The pockets on the outside are teensy, tiny, itty-bitty. The one that zips maybe could hold chapstick or a key, but that's about it. The others can hold a cell phone nicely though, don't expect to fit anything bigger. The zipper pocket at the top does not zip open all the way, there is about two inches at the top where the zipper stops. I would have loved for it to be able to open all the way, with an option to zip it close, kind of like a jacket. Anyways, it does the job and when you mauver items to fit the small opening it does actually hold a lot of stuff. I fit a 17" laptop, folders, an organizer, snacks, my cell phone, keys, a water bottle, etc. inside so it has the room. I also use it as a diaper bag on weekends since it hold so much and my hubs doesn't mind carrying a canvas bag vs a minnie mouse bag haha. I may just redo the zipper and have it open as I like which isn't too bad. So 4 stars it is!
Roomy, sturdy, elegant, and practical.

It hasn't yet stood the test of time, but I can tell that this is going to be one of the best bags I've owned. It is super roomy & feels very sturdy. It holds an incredible amount of stuff & feels like it can handle a good amount of weight, as well as awkwardly shaped items that would poke through a thinner bag. I love that it has a central zipper and lots of pockets, both deep and small, including a small zipper pocket. Great canvas fabric & great, simple styling. I bought two and if there were another color, I'd probably get a third. I've already loaned one out for a specific task, to replace a bulky and unwieldy utility cart.
Love this bag!

I've been using this bag for several months and liked it so much I bought a second one. It's sturdy but also very attractive. It holds my large purse, appointment book (yup! I'm a throwback to the dinosaurs; I don't use a phone for anything except making phone calls), and lots of odds'n'ends. I auditioned a lot of bags before I decided on this one and most look like beach bags or gym bags or ??? I kept them all and will find uses for them. But this bag is in a class of it's own. It looks good enough to go anywhere - to the office, to lunch with friends, to the theater, or to India (which is its next destination)!
Absolutely LOVE this bag

Absolutely LOVE this bag. I use it for books and binders, and it holds a lot! The strap fits over my arm so I don't have to carry the heavy book load in one hand. It is so sturdy and the outside middle pocket is great for adding my tall thin water bottle. I also love that the top is slightly wider than the bottom. Even biners are are very easy to get in and out. The fabric is casual but quality, strong canvas.
Huge, durable

I use this bag for work. I keep files in it, 1" binders, note pads, etc and there is still plenty of space. It did get wet in the rain once and had a terrible smell, just awful, but I washed it & haven't had an issue since. I would recommend washing it when you get it, I didn't do that, and then hang drying it. Other than that, no issues. It holds up great under the weight of everything and is as big as the pics.
Awesome bag, perfect size

Just enough pockets to keep small things organized. I like that I can fit a water bottle in two of the outside pockets. Itâs also nice to have a zipped pocket on both the inside and outside of bag, as well as ones with no closures. Bag appears to be well made, I've had others that havenât made it a week with all the stuff I drag back and forth to my classroom, so far this one is holding up great.
Poor interior construction

While, the exterior of this bag seems pretty sturdy, the inside is not. The inside zipper, completely fell apart within a few weeks of normal use. With the zipper coming away from the material, it began to unravel and that portion of the inside of the bag is quickly deteriorating and falling apart. That being said, if that had not been the case, I wouldâve been quite happy with this bag.
