    Super cute tote

    "Love this tote. . . It's tote-ally cute! My only gripe is that the inside pocket is a bit too loose so things fall out of it easily. I would love it if there were a small zipper pocket on the outside too, for your keys, phone and/or chapstick/lipsticks."

    — DIANA T. (5/5)

    Elevated and light for travel

    "Bought this for my travel tote. I absolutely love it. It fits my laptop, has an inside side pocket and plenty of space. I like being able to zip it up so it looks tidy. It’s super light and while I haven’t needed to yet, very pleased it’s easily washable. One of those purchases I umm and ahhhed about for many weeks, and wish I just got it sooner!"

    — Rebecca B. (5/5)

    Classic style . Lots of room

    "This is my go to shopping bag too Also good long inside for easy ac cess to phone keys There are side clips for cross body style but no straps included Very n̈ìce bag"

    — Moira R. (5/5)

    Great Tote

    "Love this bag - I have another one without the zipper and I appreciate this one has a zipper and an inside pocket."

    — Wendy M. (5/5)

    Gorgeous tote!

    "The size, the handle drop, and the color are amazing! Used this as one of my airport carry-ons and it held everything I needed. I like that the zipper doesn’t connect to each end because I was able to slip my cell phone inside the bag without unzipping. I’ll definitely be buying this in another color!"

    — Andrea C. (5/5)

    Beautiful bag!

    "The bag is beautiful and perfect for what I was looking for It has a zipper that will keep your things secured. Is no heavy and has loops that you add a strap."

    — Rosa S. (5/5)

    Great bag, not great shipping.

    "The bag is exactly what I was hoping for. Lightweight, easy to wash and zips up. While the shipping was not so great, it arrived at a neighbors home down the street and on top of that the box had broken open and the purse looked crumbled :( this was very disappointing. I have two other bags from Rothy and when those arrived it was like opening a beautiful gift! Not so much with this last purchase."

    — Jill V. (5/5)

    Love it!!

    "I a big fan of Rothy's loafers and wanted to try this lightweight tote for work. Rothy's has just vowed me with this bag. It's lightweight, spacious and extremely stylish - just the elegance and distinctiveness you are looking for in a work bag. Amazing Rothy's. It soft and slouchy and I think it will be ideal for travel as well. Stay tuned."
