Too pretty to just save for travel

Ok, I must confess I am a tote lover. They are so handy - from the Hermes Double Sens to a Trader Joes insulated tote. . . nothing is better. This B&R tote is something incredible. I own a few Tumi, Louis Vuitton and Hermes totes, and this is hands down my favorite. Excellent styling. Very slim lines and light! Plus it has a zipper - thank you!!

Disappointing

I’m disappointed in this bag. The shape looked good in the photos but when it’s packed, it’s bulky and heavy and so when you carry it by the handles instead of on the shoulder, it touches the ground when going up steps. I’m tall too, so a shorter person would have even more of a problem. The straps are too stiff and get in the way when packing, and are not very comfortable. The interior is not as easy to access as it should be, because the opening seems small. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize the flaws of this bag until after I had used it and taken off the tags, so I can’t return it accordingly to the policy on website.

Love This

It’s deeper than average and therefore holds more 0f everything that would be needed for an average briefcase. Plus, the fabric is very durable, and can be wiped down if necessary I am quite fond of Briggs & Riley products

Vertical tote review

I am in sales and I am in customer offices all day so I bring my office with me. I have a 15” laptop and it’s hard to find the right size bag for my needs. I hoped the vertical option would be a good solution, but the opening is so narrow it’s difficult to access items inside. I thought it would be able to stand up, but the bottom is a bit too narrow for the height so it tips over regardless of how much or little I have put in the tote. If I were using this just to get back and forth to my own office I think it would be fine, but it’s definitely too slim to hold a lunch, etc. I do like the material and the quality of the pockets and zippers and etc.

Vertical Tote

I purchased the verticals tote for my sister who fell in love with it as soon as she saw it. She was especially pleased with its functionality and that it fit perfectly onto her B&R 22 inch carry on. She also thought the color was cool and could use it for weekend trips. Overall she gave it a ten.

First Time Out

This bag is exactly what I wanted for a smaller bag to carry on an international flight. It held all the basic necessities I needed. All the zippered pockets make me feel secure. And it’s perfect for carrying an iPad or laptop. I think this is going to be my everyday work tote for quite a while!

Amazing alternative

The difference between a three day trip and a seven day trip just got a little easier. My wife has her medium cargo backpack that she pairs with her international spinner for longer trips but she is in love with her new vertical tote for lest than four-ish days. Pairs great with her spinner.

The tote is nice and

The tote is nice and roomy and paired well with the under the seat cabin bag. Combined I was able to pack all I needed for 7 days. I also used this as a work day bag and it worked well.

Almost perfect

If this bag was 2-4 inches smaller horizontally it would be perfect. It is just a bit too bulky, but I can manage it thanks to all of the super well-placed pockets.

Amazing work and travel bag

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has quickly become my favorite work and travel bag. I've been using it nonstop since I received it. I can hold all my work, tech, and travel personal items while traveling. I really like that I can fully zip the top and there are many different compartments. I also loved that I can loop it over my suitcase and it says comfortably without falling over. I've also gotten some compliments on it during my last work trip to LA.

Love love love my bag

I have to admit I an addicted to getting my Briggs & Riley luggage and bags. I love them all. I have five pieces as of now but that will increase. It is like a hobby getting perfect bags that match and have my initials on them. I will always stick to Briggs & Riley because of so many things - quality, design, color, customization with initials, guarantee etc.

It’s a great, versatile teacher bag!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this bag !! Being a teacher I never have enough space for all the things I need to bring with me on a daily basis. This bag is perfect because it has so many compartments in every size! There is a spot for my pens, pencils, makeup, phone, charge, water bottle, laptop and so much more. This tote is well made and the material inside is also very soft. The outer appearance is simple yet stylish. I love it!
