I have a weakness for tote bags, so I have some experience with them. This one has already become one of my favorites, for the following reasons:--It is ROOMY, much more room inside than the simple dimensions might imply--There are plenty of pockets, zippered, elasticized, and open, both inside and out--There are 5 metal "feet" on the bottom of it--The shoulder strap it thick, long enough, and the padded part of it is nice and wide--The stitching is impeccable--There is an overall feeling of utilitarian durability with this tote, commensurate with the price--The accessory bags are of comparable quality--two for toiletries or make-up, and one flimsier bag for shoes. It's fine.CONS:--The end pockets are roomy, but simply elasticized at the top. This is fine, and convenient, in most situations, but when traveling, they are an open invitation to thieves and pickpockets!--The thick seam on the shorter handles is scratchy, but with care, it can be turned to away from the hand--There could be more than 5 feet on the bottom of a bag this large.
