Utility Tote Bag with 24 Pockets, Large Teacher Travel Tote for Women

Honestly, I didn’t think I’d like this bag. I used it for a a couple of day then tried another bag, thinking I would need to return it. Something told me to hold onto it for the rest of the week. I ended up missing this bag. It’s all the small pockets. It kept all of my things separate and easy to see/find. It holds a LOT and is still fairly comfortable to carry around. I don’t use the laptop sleeve as much as I thought I would but it’s nice to have when needed. The bottom is nice and open for pouches and other quick grab items. Works well and is versatile, easy to clean.

I bought the purple rose print which is beautiful--I have gotten several compliments on it. I bought this bag for my trip to my oldest son's wedding in Barcelona, Spain. I use a CPAP machine and I need a bag sturdy enough to hold the many parts of the machine, surrounded by bubble wrap. The "fabric" is not mere canvas--it is a sturdy nylon which is doubled over for about 3@ at the top, making the top of the bag very secure. It closes with a long zipper at the top, but because the zipper is longer than the bag, I know that some people have commented on the lack of security, since if you were not watching someone (if they understood where the openings were, could reach in at either end and steal something. Now to that I say that I always keep HOLD of my bag unless I give it to my husband to hold for me if I need to use the restroom. And I actually LIKE the way the zipper is extra long, because it makes it much easier for me to open the bag. Inside the bag thee anre NINE pockets of various sizes--you can easily separate things like your different boarding passes and snacks. At either end on the outside of the bag there is a webbed pocket which could be used to carry something that got wet and wrung out but you want to keep it separate from stuff in the interior. Some people complained that these pockets were not helpful for carrying bottles of water and I think they are right--the pockets are much too wide and too short. But they would be helpful to put a baseball cap in--or some other kind of small hat. There are TWELVE unzippered pockets on the OUTSIDE of the bag--I used one for a small pkg of facial tissues. Because they are not zippered they would not be sure for credit cards and such--neither is the inside. But I put my passport and credit cards in a bag that crossed over my chest so that it hung in front of me and not in back or on my side. I had heard that the Barcelona airport was notorious for pick pockets!!!! These handles on either side of the bag are VERY sturdy. It comes with a shoulder strap but I did not use it--for the sake of security in Barcelona and for the life of me I could not get the shoulder strap open enough to connect to the bag. Finally, the bag comes with a small matching bag that is the size of a makeup bag--it has a loop handle and zips closed at the top. The fabric of the bag and makeup bag nylon and therefore waterproof. My husband and I got stuck overnight once after an unseasonably massive snowstorm near Denver, CO at Thanksgiving. So ever since then I have packed some extra necessities in this bag--makeup bag, comb, extra socks and underwear, light day pads, small deodorant, facial cleanser, etc. There was PLENTY of room for all of this ,my CPAP machine (which has a long electrical cord, a "brick," a long tube, a nose cushion and the large CPAP machine itself. All this stuff fit nicely in this bag, as well as a book. Because the sides of the bag are not stiff it fit perfectly under the seat ahead of me, along with my purse. Easy peasy. So overall I think this is a GREAT value for the money. Other than facial tissues I am not sure what I will put in the outside pockets, other than perhaps a deck of cards or several paperback books--you could probably fit two in some the outside pockets--as well as some trail bars and other snacks. I am working on not snacking. But obviously the more you put unit the heavier it becomes, so that is a consideration, if like me you are not that strong. I think this could be a GREAT bag for a teacher. I plan to use mine for many years to come.

Kept this bag, price wasn't too bad, lots of room and pockets AND I had purchased some fabric magnetic dividers that fit down into the bag to use for smaller things, I did have an issue, contacted customer support and my issue was resolved in less than a minute, customer service is SO important, especially for busy people....

Love this tote. It stands up and holds it shape and has so many pockets. I use it for my music accessories for violin and cello and my music books!! It’s so functional and holds a lot.

This bag is AMAZING! I am the kind of mom who feels like I have to be prepared for anything and everything, and this bag is my Mary Poppins bag. I use it as my everyday purse, although my husband makes fun of me for it because it's a little large. I don't keep it FILLED, though, so there's always room to throw stuff in it. And, unlike Mary Poppins's bag, this one has ALL THE POCKETS, so not only does it carry everything I need, but also I know exactly where everything I need is located at all times!!! The pockets are definitely the best thing about this bag, especially the 12 outer pockets (not counting the mesh water bottle pockets) that keep everything within easy reach at all times. It's nearly impossible to find any other bag on the market with this many pockets. It's also worth noting that the stuff doesn't fall out of the exterior (or interior) pockets easily like you may think - only a complete upside-down drop causes the pockets to lose their contents. I have gotten so many compliments on this bag and recommended it to so many people! Everywhere I go! It pains me, however, to have to dock it 1 star because I want the company to add 1 element to this bag to make it absolutely perfect... So I love the outer mesh water bottle pockets, but I would also LOVE to have at least 1 interior water bottle pocket. A lot of the new bags are including this. I'm a very active mom of 3, and sometimes when I'm bending over to pick something up or help a child into the car, etc., my my expensive metal Owala water bottle has slipped out of the outer mesh water bottle pocket due to that cheeky little phenomenon called gravity. I hate to have my favorite water bottles get dented, so now I stick my Owala inside the main, large pocket, but I am nervous about leaks because my water bottle obviously doesn't stay upright in the large main interior pocket. Also, while the bag holds up amazingly to a lot of wear & tear with constant use, I will say the mesh water bottle pockets have a few snags in them, while the rest of the bag shows no wear & tear. My appeal to the manufacturer is to leave the 2 mesh pockets, but please, please add 1-2 interior water bottle pouches/pockets that would keep a standard-sized water bottle or Stanley upright... With the right design, the interior water bottle pockets could easily be folded in upon themselves if not needed. I hope the designer will consider my rescommendations!

I have had this bag for over 3 years now, and as I'm on yet another trip with it as my primary travel bag, I felt the need to come back to review it. It is such a good bag. There is so much space. The pockets internally and extremely, along with the laptop pocket and strap, make this bag so versatile. I have used this in turns as a weekender travel bag, gym bag, and teacher tote. No matter the occasion, this bag can handle it. I have packed this bag to capacity with each pocket carrying something, and I was at first concerned about the strap breaking or ripping a stitch, but this bag has held up time and time again for 3 years now. I love this bag. Quality and capacity well-worth the money.

Just wow. I started a new job and was struggling to find the right work bag. I saw this and it looked promising. There are so many pockets and this was not only the right decision but the perfect bag. I travel all over Arizona and I need lots of little things to properly work. The amount of things I can store in this is incredible. Everything has its place and is easily stored orderly. I would absolutely order this again and now I think I want one for my bible and all the things I need for study and teaching. Notepads, pens, highlighters, oh my gosh so many options. It is a nylon bag and the strap is pretty great for the amount of weight I have in it. So it does have waterproof capabilities. However, if it was fully submerged, it would not be waterproof but if you're walking through the rain and it is zipped up, you shouldn't have any issues. This is just a super great bag and I 'm so happy I bought it.

Beautiful bag. Well built. Love the little one inside. The little one is a perfect size for essentials so you can leave the bigger bag in the car. Unluckily, for me, it is too floppy, which makes it hard to find what you want in such a large bag.

Looks good very versatile and well worth the money

The pockets inside are useless as it is not very strong.

Purchased this bag for my wife. She really likes it and the pocks to store things are great. So far it is holding up well

Great bag for containing my lunch bag, papers, umbrella and other random bits. Perfect for work

Perfect bag came in handy on our trip carried everything we needed
