My Black leather tote and I have travelled the world together. Oh, the stories it could tell. Great day bag, which is used daily, great travel tote. Shows virtually no wear despite years of abuse! It gets an occasional spiffing up with shoe polish, but not really needed. Tough big bag and in fact, I am ordering #2 for back stock as I know someday, eventually it will die. It is so much bag for the money. Shop around - you will pay multiple times more for a lesser tote.
As others have said, the strap is a little short, but other than that, I love this bag and would definitely recommend it to others. I use this bag for work and love all the room that it provides.
This is by far the best handbag/tote I've ever owned. I bought it as a travel bag, and now use it for everything -- it fits everything I own (including a netbook) with plenty of room to spare. There are enough interior pockets to be useful, but not so many that you lose things. The exterior seems to be indestructible; my bag is regularly scratched by my friend's Welsh Corgi (he's looking for treats inside), and the marks disappear quickly. I love this bag!!!!!
