Love the style but it doesn’t hold shape
Size: One Size, Color: Vanilla
I am big fan of the Lucky Brand. This tote disappointed simply because it was floppy. So if you set it down it just collapses instead of holding shape. So it wasn’t what I was looking for in a tote. I was really excited about this bag because I love the style and color. But I ended up returning it.

WOW!! Pics do not do it justice!
Color: Classic, Size: Small
I was ready to be disappointed with this bag because of the low price and the meh pics BUT NO! This is a lovely bag. *the feel is indescribably soft and pleasant. *the quality is apparent in the beautiful lining as well as the exterior. It is beautifully sewn and designed. *the thought that went into the design is remarkable. Each pocket is conveniently placed and deep enough to be secure. No wasted space as in, there are additional deep pockets on the outside for anything but what comes to mind is a water bottle that won’t go sideways and spill or leak or topple out. It is comfortable, spacious, smart, and pleasing to touch and hold. *the bottom zipper is discreet and opens up to expand the volume of the bag should you need it. The lining easily accommodates the adjustment. I chose the small size which is perfectly adequate for my needs. I will use for short trips as it will accommodate laptop, dog treats, my snacks and hydration, book, wallet, phone and more of course. I value this much much higher than the price I paid. None of the pics do it justice. You have to have it in your hands to believe. I highly recommend. I’m fighting that impulse to get a back up bc this is def my new favorite.

The Best Tote Bag EVER
Color: Khaki, Size: Small
It's perfect for work and everyday use! It's durable and lightweight. It's expandable at the bottom and the zippers work well. I bought it in size small in the light khaki color... Perfect for spring! It's very organized with pockets on the inside and a place for your iPad. I highly recommend it! I'm going to buy it as a gift for my daughters. It looks like the expensive bags, but at $25 it's a steal! I may get one in another color for the fall.

This is a good work or travel bag.
Color: Black, Size: Large
This is a good size bag, light with lots of compartments on the inside and outside of the bag. Fit my laptop perfectly with room for much more inside.
