Full Description
Main Compartment
The main compartment is slim but capacious enough for everything you need for a day out, whether you're at a co-working space, on the plane, at a coffee shop, or in your favorite brewery. It zips closed to keep the rain off your equipment while you're on the move.
Inside the main compartment you'll find an open-topped device pocket measuring 13" x 9" and made from spacer mesh (the same mesh as our Synik 30's laptop pocket).
Front Pocket
The front pocket features several smaller pockets, big enough for a pen or stylus, charge bank, or smart phone. It also has plenty of room to hold all the things you need quick access to: power cords, wallets, fobs, and snacks.
Zippable Luggage Handle Passthrough Pocket
The passthrough measures 13¾" / 350mm wide and features a zippered bottom so it can be converted to an open-topped pocket when not being used to secure your tote to a roller bag. Plenty big enough to put your laptop into if you just need to move a few feet and don't want to go through the motions of zipping and unzipping the bag, or if you want quick access to a notepad or eReader.
What's Included
One 8" Snaphook/Snaphook Key Strap
As with most of our bags, we've included a key strap. 8" long from tip-to-tip, a snaphook on either end. Good for attaching your keys to.
One 4-pack of Black Pulls Du Jour
A set of our new pulls come with your bag, great for adding a little extra length, leverage, and texture to the metal pulls.
What's Optional
Vertical Packing Cubelets' vertical orientation work well in this bag to keep all your cables contained.
The HLT Size 2 is great for those who are hyper-organized. Put all your cables, syluses, and fobs all in one bag for quick-access and have a place for everything and everything in its place so you don't have to think about it while on the go.
Take an adventure with our Mystery Organizer Pouches -- all sorts of fun combinations of colors and a size that is very useful for the small stuff that attaches to the o-rings in our bags for easy access.
An alternative to the Mystery Organizer Pouches, plenty of different sizes and choose your color for coordination and differentiation.

This is a great work bag for me. As far as work totes go, it’s slim and smaller than most but it fits just the right amount of stuff that I typically take into the office—13inch laptop, small water bottle, notebook, pens, pencils, random toiletries, and a snack/ small lunch. (I can’t fit a large food container, but a sandwich bag works—if it’s something messy, I’d feel more comfortable bringing it in a separate lunch bag anyway). I commute by car, so most days I’m not trying to carry a whole lot more than that. The handles/ straps are great—somehow they manage to stay set just right on my shoulder without slipping around.

This bag is great as a small work tote to carry a laptop, water bottle, light jacket and a small umbrella. My favorite features are the super comfortable straps, and roomy pockets in the main and front compartments. In short - smart features and rock solid construction!

I absolutely love this bag! It fits my 13” laptop perfectly and I still have plenty of space for my makeup bag and umbrella. I really like the main pocket it has great organization pockets for keys, pens, hand sanitizer and eye drops. The larger pocket opens up and can easily be slipped on the luggage handle (I have not traveled but I know it will be handy) for now I keep my two phones in that pocket for easy access. The straps feel sturdy. I have large arms and the straps fit comfortably no struggling there. I have now used it for about a month and I am still absolutely in love with it. It looks professional and sleek, it’s the perfect bag for work.

I am currently traveling in Japan with the tote - my first experience as it was a new purchase before the trip. It replaced an old non-TB cross body messenger bag. I am impressed with the utility of the bag itself, but like other commenters, the single shoulder tote (especially when the bag is loaded) just does not work for me. It is uncomfortable and will not stay on my shoulder. The lack of an alternate, longer cross body strap is a hinderance. I will note my wife loves this bag, she is a Tote bag person, but she already has her own !! I may replace this bag after this trip with one of TB's cafe bags.
