I love this bag so much that I have it in 2 colors. It has the PERFECT array of pockets in all the right sizes so store everything I need to carry and it is organized perfectly. Plus, the shoulder strap is perfectly placed so that the bag lands behind my elbow and doesn't slip. Everything about it is brilliant!

Love the longer straps for shouldering. Good arrangement of compartments. I wish the bag were an inch longer because it’s a struggle to slide my laptop in.

Wasn't sure about the size and storage and it turns out to be the perfect bag for my laptop! I love my TB backpack and wasn't sure how much I might use this bag. But so far it's the in-town favorite as it holds everything I need and isn't heavy.

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.

This bag has worked out to be perfect for me (and my rather odd combo use)! I am using it as a combo sketch bag/juggling bag and purse. The main compartment is all art stuff and juggling balls, and the zippered front pocket is purse stuff. It is so handy to have the categories separated in this way, and it makes it much easier to access things without it being chaos! The pocket in the main compartment that is supposed to be for a computer is *perfect* for the several types of colored pencils that I like to carry--I have each type in it's own ziplock bag, and then I just lined the ziplock bags up in that computer pocket. It's a brilliant solution for them, because now I can just easily reach in and get whatever ziplock of pencils I need without having to unstack things from on top of it, which is what I had to do in a previous Tom Bihn bag, where the pencils were laid down stacked on each other. This is so much more easily accessible! Then the rest of the main compartment has other art materials, sketch books, and three types of juggling balls each stored in its own Cubelet. Before this, I was using a Packing Cube shoulder bag (which I also love) for carrying just art and purse stuff, but I had it crammed super full which was not then very convenient for accessing stuff. Plus, I wanted to add a few additional art supplies and carry some of my juggling balls as well, so I needed a bigger bag. However, I didn't want a bag that *looked* huge. I wanted something with…
