    Great size!

    I’m a huge Tom Bihn fan and have a decent collection and am happy to add this bag among it. It’s a great size to take to the gym (my usual use of it) and the run errands after and holds a ton of stuff. I like the snaps giving the bag some versatility. I don’t use the zippered pockets on the side, because if I have items in the pockets it encroaches on the smaller zippered pockets. I also would like the inside to be lined in a lighter color for visibility . So I added a small flashlight added to one of the O rings and that seems to do the trick. Will also be taking this for travel too, perfect as the personal item under the seat (I also use the standard spiff kit for my in flight essentials) what a great addition to my TB collection

    Fits Everything!

    It's magical how many things I can put in this bag. I like the pockets that are there but wish there were more inside the tote. This is my only criticism. Love that it zips shut which was important when using as an under seat carry on. The straps are very comfortable.

    LOVE THIS BAG! Give it as a gift (once you have enough of your own)!

    This is one of my favorite gifts to give to good friends. They are useful for so many things, and look great as well! Recently I received this picture and note from a friend who received a POP Tote from me as a gift. She is a world traveler and travel blogger.

    "The bag you gave me is having a fine time in Scotland. Today we’re riding the Jacobite (aka Harry Potter) train. It worked perfect to bring our snacks for tea. Thank you!"

    Don't think for a minute I give them all away. I have multiple POP Totes in various colors that are mine and mine alone! Love this bag!

    A coworker had this bag and I had to have it too

    Love the bag. Very durable I purchased in the green and couldn’t be happier

    Watching if they extend the line to smaller purses 💕

    The Versatile Pop Tote

    This tote gets plenty of use as a daily carry bag. What’s great is that it transforms into a short trip pack out tote bag— stuffed with essential gear.

    Has open side pockets and zip side pockets that can help secure small items and a phone. Note— if the tote is over-stuffed the side pockets won’t hold bulk.

    Another great TB bag! Have two Pop Totes - the Mars Red and the Saguaro.

    Highly recommend.
