Been looking for a good leather tote bag. I read the reviews, ordered a dark brown bag. It arrived, it is nice and I hope to use it for many years. I was hoping that the lining would be the LL Bean fish design (it is LL Bean, after all) shown at the time of my ordering, but the lining was just a plan greenish/beige, disappointed with that. Otherwise, it seems to be a fine travel tote.
Bought this for my daughter who is a teacher last Christmas. Wanted to wait a while before I reviewed it. Well, almost a year later, it has held up very well to hard use. She uses it daily to carry her papers, lunch, laptop, and normal contents of her purse in it. It still looks great and she feels professional carrying it into school. Very nice item, well made, and worth the $$.
I bought this bag as a present to myself for successfully defending my master's thesis and as a more professional bag that will fit my laptop for when I am in the hospital. It is perfect - I already got compliments on it and they couldn't believe that it was from LLBean. It will fit my laptop and papers without any problems and I like that the lining fabric is a solid color rather than the print.
ugly dark gold color - not the print lining I wanted
ProsDurable
Really love this tote, just got it in the mail after it being on back-order for a month. I think it's beautiful on the outside, but the lining doesn't look anything like the lining in the picture. The lining in the bag I got is a dark gold/khaki, not at all what I was expecting. I'm a little disappointed, but I will survive.
