Utility Tote with Pockets & Compartments - Perfect Nurse, Teacher & Work Bag

Upon opening this bag up it appeared to be rather large; which is a bonus for me! I purchased this particular bag for everyday use, as I carry a lot of stuff with me. It fit everything I needed perfectly. I did down size some of my things for a little extra room, but this is a great size bag. It's fashionable yet economical as well. So many pockets inside and out make it easy to get what you need fast, without digging around or jostling your purse this way and that to shake things into view.... It fit my large everyday planner, my ipad, cell phone, wallet, water bottle, eyeglass case, work related items, and many extras with no problems at all. The material is a little different than what I was expecting, but it seems like it will hold up well. The straps are a good length for shoulder straps. It would have been nice had the straps been made with some kind of padding, but they're still quite strong. This is a great organizing tote to use for everyday use without carrying a much larger thirty one organizing tote around everyday. As with most things in this category, only time will tell. But if you're like me, I'm sure you'll have another bag long before this one ever needs replaced, lol.

I bought this for a HIGHLY UNUSUAL PURPOSE... However, I have not figured out a "good plan" yet to avoid injuring the bag bc it IS made so well! I bought this because it has loads of pockets, a zipper on top to keep everything contained inside and "less germy" with less exposure to outside air for my Trilogy 100 non-invasive ventilator for traveling. My goal is to add a grommet on the side for a place for the tubing to come out the side in case it needs to be used while in route, but I am afraid of damaging the bag until we have a clear plan of minimally invasive material cutting to add the grommet. (we haven’t figured out if we cut it, how to secure the material back to the grommet). I also would like to add a "luggage strap" to the side since the NIV is heavy. But overall, it will serve it's purpose (even if has to carry as shoulder strap) FAR BETTER than the trilogy strap that is too long for me (I'm short 5'1 and it hangs low making it awkward and even heavier - Trilogy weighs 11#). I've tried it in it already 1-2 x just around the house and the bottom felt like it would hold up and remain sturdy despite the heaviness of the NIV unit. It will be slightly tight to include all the extra respiratory equipment inside the bag, but I have plenty of pockets outside if need be too!! This is a VERY NICELY made tote bag with 13 pockets (5 inner, rest outer), good shoulder straps, very thick material and the zipper was a winner as most totes do not close on top (allowing all your stuff to get wet if it rains!). Like I said, I'm using it for very unusual purpose, but for all other needs-definitely meets/exceeds expectations of tote bags. I liked the styles of this bag as well. It was a tad darker than I expected, but hard to tell from pictures. I'm kind of glad though so it's not "too bright".

I bought this as my teaching bag: easily holds two small laptops, overstuffed gradebook, files, and even a dslr camera at times. This, in addition to a place for a water bottle (or coffee thermos) and plenty of pouches to drop my phone and keys to free up my hands. I like that it zips on top so it prevents things from spilling out on my car floor at sudden stops. Also - sits nicely on the floor under my desk and doesn’t fall over (flat bottom). Straps are durable and long enough to easily fit on my shoulder even when wearing a thick winter coat. The material is pretty water resistant and wipes off easily too. I’ve gone through a lot of work bags over the years, looking for the one that works for me and this one has fit the bill nicely so far.

Very pretty yet utilitarian. This is my second daisy bag - a bigger size than my first one which I have owned for a few years and use as a regular purse quite often. This larger purse is for traveling - business and annual conventions (we like daisies). It is exactly as described - lightweight with plenty of pockets for my stuff to get lost in (why do I keep buying purses with so many inner pockets??) and yet it is sturdy enough to add a water bottle and umbrella in the side mesh pockets. It is NOT meant to carry a lot of heavy gear, but I lug my binder, iPad, keys (so many keys!), wallet, cosmetics, and slippers or sandals, and feel confident that the straps won't tear off. It is not going to last a lifetime, but it is not going to fall apart unless it's over-stuffed. I would like to defend the seller against the 1- and 2-star reviews complaining about the size and durability. The seller states it is POLYESTER ( not leather or aluminum!) and the dimensions are clearly provided in the description and comparison chart! There is also a choice of sizes. Is it overpriced? Yes, a little, but nowhere near as much as "signature" status bags, and it gets the job done. It is not fair to the seller if due diligence isn't the buyer's thing. Read, measure, and decide - simple.

This is a nice, woven bag, sturdy standing alone or when item are in pockets. Comes with removable bottom panel for more stability, matches inside material. Looking for a replacement for bag 31 (black and white bag in last image). This bag's outside pockets fit up to 2.75" diameter water bottles in 4 corner pockets. Middle 2 outside pockets hold a 3" bottle (tall blue in picture). Nice that it has 6 total outside pockets (plus 2 mesh on sides). The bag 31 (black and white bag) holds a 3.5" dia bottle and seems impossible to replace that size. But needed to share that water bottles WILL fit on outside for those who love using these for sports and outtings to avoid kids digging through bag to get water bottles. Bonus unlike the bag 31, this has mesh pockets sewn on inside.

I love love love the look of this tote! The sample of the "Mustard Grey dot" does not do this tote justice. It is whimsical and classic at the same time, beautiful. In the past I was strictly a 'thirty-one' girl but, the totes I bought from them just wouldn't hold up and they lacked inner pockets to keep my items organized. This tote (i purchased the medium size) is perfect. Only slightly smaller than the thirty-one large zipper top tote. I really like that it has so many extra pockets. It even has interior mesh pockets, 2 large on one side and 3 small on the other. The larger pockets are perfect for my 9" tablet and my daily planner. The contruction of this tote seems more durable than the ones I've purchased in the past. It also features a stiff insert that allows the tote to remain upright. I work healthcare and this tote is perfect for my day to day. If you are on the fence about buying this product, I say "go for it", you won't regret it.

I bought this for a friend. We both like to crochet and I have one just like this. She kept saying she needed one, so I got her one for her birthday. Needless to say, she uses hers the same way I use mine. Crochet projects. Many, many pockets inside and out. So many I couldn't fill them all. Plus it's huge inside. I have packed in mine around 5 large skiens of yarn, all of my tunisian crochet hooks, a regular hook carrying case, knitting needles...which I don't know how to use yet but maybe one day I'll learn,...buttons galore, 2 or 3 small skiens of my cotton yarn. About 3 different crochet projects...maybe more. I have a small notebook and pen in a pocket, .... so much more I can't remember. I originally bought it to carry to work...I'm a nurse....but it was a little too big for that. It's very sturdy and well made.

I love this bag because of all the pockets!!!! It's sturdy, nice pattern, easy to clean, stores a lot of stuff, and has a good zipper.

This bag is the perfect size. Holds all of my ppe needed for 3/4 days. Multiple pockets so I am not constantly searching.
