Multi Pocket Tote Bag

I purchased this tote for a trip to Norway. It worked like a dream. It fit over my suitcase handle (it didn’t for another reviewer). I agree with another reviewer that it would be nice if the main zipper didn’t leave gaps but it wasn’t an issue for me. I liked the interior zippered pocket and the external pockets which allowed me to to organize my stuff.

I am VERY particular and shopped around a lot before choosing this new work bag. I am a preschool teacher and I need a bag that can carry my lunch, many water bottles, supplies and a sweater or puffy coat. This bag holds it all and still looks sleek and professional. I got the dark purple Plum color which has stayed pretty clean from all the outside weather grime and my huskies dog fur (bonus it doesn’t stick too much!). I highly advise this purchase if you are looking for some thing durable and multi functional as well as professional :)

Not what I was expecting. I have an orange Herschel tote from years ago and was hoping it would be exactly like that. Unfortunately this is smaller/narrower and didn’t have the signature red stripe interior, instead it is purple (I’m guessing to match the exterior), which is not a big deal breaker but I do prefer the lighter color interior. Also, the zipper isn’t fully attached to the bag like my older one. There are openings at the ends of the zippers. I still own the orange tote and that has lasted me forever! I love it so much I wanted another. However this is not it. Sorely disappointed. I’ve attached photos of the zipper. The lighting makes it look like different bags but it is the same one.

I look forward to using it on many trips.

Great usual Herschel quality and style but even more practical than I’d expected. Use it everyday. Bonus that the plaid embossed was on sale and reads pretty masculine.

I generally love this bag--the size, the pockets, the water bottle holder. I was looking for something slightly larger than the Retreat Bag and better for travel. This is mostly perfect. HOWEVER, the trolley sleeve doesn't fit over my luggage handle. This kind of defeats the purpose and is rather disappointing. I don't think my handle is particularly large, so this may be an issue for others.
