biaggi Contempo Ladies 16" Tote

I ordered this bag in two colors, aqua and brown. The colors are well-represented by the Amazon online photos.

A few things to note about the bag:

1. It does not come with a "dust bag." If you have other Biaggi-brand luggage, you'll know that they can be folded flat and stored in the accompanying dust bag. The 16" tote does not come with one, but when I contacted the manufacturer, they said they would send me one. (Still waiting for the dust bag to arrive, but the company is very responsive via their email web form).

2. The bag can hold a LOT. I was able to fit two 3" binders and my laptop into the main body compartment of the bag. I still had the smaller compartments on the front, back, and side for my other accessories, so I could have put more in the bag if I wanted. The downside is that although the straps can be worn comfortably over your shoulder, when the bag is fully loaded the straps are not long enough. Perhaps in the next version of the bag they will have slightly longer straps or adjustable straps. Alternatively, it would be great if the bag came with a crossbody strap, but with the amount of stuff you can fit in the bag, the crossbody would not be ideal for carrying when the bag is full because it would be way too heavy.

3. The front zipper compartment has great organization -slots for pens/pencils, cell phone slots, inner zipped pockets, etc. Very impressed with the functionality the bag offers.

4. The back of the bag has a section that can be unzipped so you can slide the bag over your suitcase handles. Very convenient for traveling.

5. Although it's not in the description, the bag comes with four little rubber "feet" on the bottom to protect the bottom surface. It's a nice touch because you don't see feet on nylon bags very often.

I purchased this for traveling. I wanted a bag that would hold my ipad, a book, some knitting and a small wallet purse. That way I will only have one carry on for the airplane. I think the fabric will hold up well. I agree with the previous reviewer that a longer handle would be preferable but this will go over my shoulder. I look forward to using it.

I bought this bag for my daughter to use as a travel carry-on tote to replace a bag that had worn out. The bag has plenty of convenient pockets and features, but it is on the large side. This would be fine if you don't completely fill it to its full height and maybe count on the extra space for a jacket, but my daughter is not very good at packing light so it might not have been the best choice for her. She is keeping it, though, because she likes the color and all of the pockets.
