It's too soon to use this tote (spring being a few months down the road) but I LOVE the look and feel of the tote and apparent quality (craftsmanship).
Not too big nor too small. Straps seem at an ideal length (I'm petite). Still roomy without being overbearing.
I bought this in the pink (medium) and already have received compliments -- living in Ireland, where it rains all the time (well, not always....), adding a few spring like touches is always good in the depths of February! This is my third or fourth LLBean tote (but the classic canvas) and hope it will last just as long. Do agree with previous reviewers (especially, the teacher (as I am as well) ) that having an internal pocket or two would be very helpful, but still love the product as I can throw papers, books in!!
Awesome color! Awesome bag! I would love slightly more if it had interior pocket(s). I waited too long last year to order, so this year I ordered pre-season! Order before it is too late! You will not be sorry!
I almost got one of the custom Bean bags but went with this because it was cheaper (I got a medium). I like it better and I think it will hide dirt much better. It's very sturdy and the perfect size.
