This tote packs away in itself until it is needed. It is lightweight, zips closed. Fully loaded, it still fits within the size for a carry-on. Because of the zipper, you could check it if you needed to.

Material is much stronger than most "pack away" totes.

My husband thought I was silly when I bought this and brought it along for our trip to Morocco but he changed his mind by the end of the trip! We bought handmade rugs in Fes and were able to cram them into this bag and check it. The bag and the rugs made it through perfectly. This bag is much larger than you would think it would be and the material is really sturdy. I'll definitely be bringing this along on every trip to haul back our souvenirs!

I bought this tote bag to take on a trip to Greece to hold gifts going and supplies coming back. It held much more than I expected and everything survived the checked baggage well. It was great to fold it up when not needed and then open and stuff all of my extras (and then some) in it.

It has sturdy material, wiped clean and I will be using it much more often now. I recommend this tote to all who need a simple, sturdy, flexible tote.

This tote bag really saved our you-know-whats on a recent return trip from the Baltics. It was stuffed to the max with clothing and souvenirs--its capacity is quite amazing! It came thru the nightmarish ordeal we endured to get home better than I did. Our luggage got rerouted and we couldn't get a flight home, so my dd and I lived out of this bag at airports for 3 days. The ONLY downside I had was after lugging it around on its straps for that length of time my hands/shoulders were pretty sore. There's no padding on the straps so I had to break down and purchase some at one of the airport gift shops. Other than that, this little bag truly proved its worth, and folds to nearly nothing. It will be kept at hand for other emergencies.

We recently went to Europe and spent two days out of two weeks at the beach. This was a terrific bag to pull out and use for the beach (and then for "overflow" items we picked up during our trip) and didn't take up a lot of space. Great purchase, very convenient, lightweight and just the right size. I highly recommend this tote.

Very light weight. I use this for the "extra's " when I travel... Great for books, newspapers, a sweater, snacks when I travel, etc. etc. The perfect tote.

I have not taken the Tote out, but it looks like it will work for packing clothes. As for durability, time will tell. I purchased two Totes.

When I placed an order for two Totes, the only color available was "Copper," however, what came to me was two Totes in the color "Blue."
