Best tote around the globe!!!

Literally, it's the best one. I traveled through lots of countries and I was always suffering without a good, reliable packable tote. Until I found this one. We usually stayed in warm countries where there are lots of fruits and city markets, and you always need a spare bag with you. But let's move to the pros and cons, because it will be easier for you to pick up the details. PROS: -Size! This bag is not big and not small; it's perfect sized for shopping! You can fill in up to 12 kg and don't worry about your bag. It's reliable and sturdy. -Comfortable! We all know the struggle when you place a lot of good in your bag and it's hard to carry it around because of the thin holders. Not in this tote. It has fancy and comfortable holders, which you can hold with comfort! You'll be happy whether you wear it on your shoulder or carry it in your arms! -Waterroof! Yes, if something spills into this bag, it won't leave the bag. Forget about wet clothing from liquids that were accidentally spilled. Now you are completely safe! -Easy to clean. This con follows on from the previous one, and I should mention that cleaning this self-healing tote is a breeze.Just a bit of water and soap and it's good as new. Plus, it dries very fast. -Pocket for wallet and phone! Yeah, we always need it in the tote and now we have it! -Packable and lightweight! In an over-consuming world, having a small and packable shooper always with you is a bliss. I pack it and use a carabiner to attach it to a backpack or sling and have it everywhere with me. So yeah, packable is a nice feature which lets me not buy endless plastic bags at shops. -Unisex design and color! We got two, one for me and one for my wife later, because we were so in love with these small babies. I kept a grey one and she got a white one, and we both love how they look. Both of them are elegant. No loud colors, a simple design that goes with anything! -Carbon-neutral and eco friendly. Finally, our family swapped for non-plastic shopping. We use these totes and containers to buy farm goods and eco-food from locals. Without these totes, it would be hard because all our previous bags weren't as reliable. Buying a new bag once a month is the same over convenience as buying plastic bags every day, so we are glad that the reliability of totes helps us do our part to save the planet! CONS: So far, I haven't found any. I use it every day to buy eco-food in a shop near my house, and the tote has never failed me!

Obsessed!

I am obsessed with this bag. I received it in a festival gift bag, and if I am totally honest, my first impression was that it was not my style, and I almost gave it away (I am a baggu girl through and through when it comes to totes), luckily I didn’t, I gave it a go, and my love affair with this bag took off. It is quite honestly the perfect little travel bag (that fits so much!)…you can throw your computer in it for errands, use it for groceries, out in the things you want close by for a long haul flight, or walk long distances comfortably. The top of the strap has a flat bit that makes it really comfortable to carry on your shoulder, the bag itself fits really nicely against the body while carrying, the zipper is super handy, it is very lightweight, packs small and is easy to wash/airdry. I will never go on another trip without this bag.

A Good Companion for my Everyday Backpack & Sling

Just received the Peak Design Packable Tote. It is a good companion for my Everyday Backpack & Sling when I am doing my grocery shopping. The material is nice and can be packed into its compact case when not in use. Love the charcoal colour and the leather PD logo. It is a light and versatile bag to carry around.

Good tote

Here’s the English version of your review: A great sling bag for everyday use. The materials are excellent and it feels very durable. The straps are comfortable, and the zipper is solid. My only wish is that it would take up less space when folded, as it’s quite large at the moment.

Extremely Wrinkled – Not What I Expected

I purchased this packable tote assuming the material would maintain a clean appearance even when in use. However, that is not the case at all. The bag becomes heavily wrinkled the moment it is unfolded or carried, and it looks very cheap and worn out. I understand that “packable” items may crease slightly, but this is excessive. The product photos do not reflect how the bag actually looks in real life. I’ve attached photos to show the condition after simply carrying it. It does not resemble the advertised images. Unfortunately, I regret this purchase and would not recommend it.

Using as mommy's bag

I bought the gray Packable Tote as a "mom bag" because my baby's diaper bag is so big. My stuff were getting lost in it, and I wanted a way to quickly extract my stuff without digging through it. Initially, I was going to use it as a bag-in-bag because it's so malleable and light. Now I use it as an independent bag and shove it in to whatever other bag or grocery bag I happen to be carrying around at the time. I t's super light and crumple-able, so I can shove it in to essentially any other container or bag. Doesn't take up room, and I don't have to worry about it getting wet/soiled/misshapen/scratched (apparently it's even "self-healing?"). I rarely ever "pack it up" into the little pocket, but I definitely will be if I'm taking a trip or don't need it immediately but will later. The depth is also pretty big, so I can shove A LOT into here, including a thick sweater and a few swaddles. The opening is very wide so I can immediately see everything I have inside, making it easy to shove my hand in there and find my phone or car keys. I like that while the strap wasn't as long as I'm used to with my other purses, it's just long enough and the opening big enough that I can stick my hand inside while holding the bag still on my shoulder and pull out my wallet to check out. I know it's weird, but when you're in a rush with a stroller or shopping cart, being able to take the same hand you have the bag hanging from and pulling things out is pretty useful. One thing I noticed was that if I'm wearing a tank top, my skin sometimes flaked off on the handle because of the material. But when I just checked it again right now, it's come off, so seems like any of those things are pretty temporary. For the price, the quality is amazing, and I use it every day! Love how light and malleable it is! One less thing to worry about as I lug my infant and 10 million things that go with them everywhere. Thanks so much for designing this! :)

Perfect for day travel

Have clipped this to my camera while walking around Paris. It adds little to no weight, it’s free to dangle! It was the best “just incase we see something” bag to bring along. The padded strap stays securely on my solder even when riding an e-scooter over cobblestone roads. Held a pair of sandals, a bottle of wine, you name it!

Great quality.

I’m very impressed with the quality And how light the material is I do wish it would fold up a little bit smaller, but I understand the material is quality and I don’t have too worry about it Ripping or tearing

Great product! (3-pack has minor size difference)

This is a perfected version of the packable tote. The fact that it has a zipper and a lightly padded strap puts it above similar products. The way it folds down and stuffs into the pocket, which flips inside out to snap shut, is quite clever (although it takes a few tries to get the hang of). The fabric seems durable. We own a bunch of Peak Design products already, and the attention to small details here is consistent with the brand. I got the 3-pack which comes with sage, charcoal and raw. All three bags are the same size, however the charcoal bag’s pocket is slightly wider, so the overall size when packed is a smidge longer in charcoal than the other two colors. This is a negligible issue, but if that matters to you, take note.

Excellence with a zip

I've already been using other tote bags for years, for groceries. What I didn't have is a tote that's great for travel - very strong yet lightweight and packable into its own small pocket, and very importantly it has a zip. When packed it has a loop so you can attach it onto other things. I keep this tote inside my everyday backpack at all times. If I buy something during my commute home, or if I buy something at an airport or train station, I pull out this bag. Because it has a zipper, nothing will fall out. So it's a lot better than the cheap paper or plastic shopping bags that the stores give you. Of course you could use it for groceries too!
