Reviews

love this bag

"I am absolutely loving my expandable tote! Not only does it look cute, but it also holds everything I need. It has the perfect number of pockets, which makes using the bag even more convenient. The materials used to make the bag are very sturdy, and it has been holding its shape well. I would recommend it to anyone!"

Victorina G. (5/5)

Very pleased

"When I travel with my matching navy blue B&R roller bag and tote bag, I am so proud of my luggage. It looks great, is immensely functional, and I imagine that everybody in the airport is envying my luggage! Might be a fantasy, but I love my luggage that much. Makes me feel like a million bucks. So worth it."

Sarah (5/5)

Not my favorite

"It is a beautiful looking bag; however the slip through panel to secure the tote over the luggage handle was so tight that it took two of us to pull the tote off. The inside pocket for the laptop is floppy. The tote does not meet the high standards of the other Briggs and Riley luggage I have owned for years."

Heather S. (2/5)

My wife loves it. Very

"My wife loves it. Very functional, quality material, and perfect size to rest on top of your roller bag."

Judson S. (5/5)

My third B&R bag ad I love it!

"I bought this piece because I wanted a carryon that was without wheels and smaller than my other B&R carryon but still could carry a lot and match my roller bag. This is perfect and I had my first trip with it last week--great pockets inside and out, love the expandable bottom, and easy on my shoulder or easy to attach to my roller bag. Totally perfect. So glad I snagged it."

Patricia P. (5/5)

Expandable tote

"I was disappointed that it was not made out of the same material as the carry on. However I do love the size and weight of it"

Kelly W. (5/5)

Right size

"This bag is just the right size to carry lots of stuff without being bulky. It zips shut. The fabric feels luxurious. I like it. We just made our first airplane trip."

Georgianne A. (5/5)

Would like more structured side.

"Would like more structured side. Flopped around a lot and had to fight to find zipper when the bag was not rigid."

Gerard U. (3/5)

Expandable Travel Tote

"I love the expandable travel tote that has enough room for most of the items I pack for a weekend trip. The handles are extra long to either carry on your shoulder or attach to luggage. The tote is shortened with a zipper bottom or expanded. It’s also lightweight. The compartments for thermos and laptops is convenient."

Agatha P. (5/5)

Pretty nice tote bag!

"This expandable tote is a nice bag which allows me to have a very professional look while travelling to and from the office! I love the suitcase strap so I can travel with it seamlessly through the airport! The expandable bottom works great and was useful for me already when travelling. I appreciated having a little extra space for storage. I'm giving this 4 stars instead of 5 because a larger laptop pocket would be preferred. I have a 14in and it fits albeit very tightly! So it's not a quick in and out of the bag, it takes some work. The second reason is because I'd appreciate more organizing pocket features especially for cords and headphones. All in all it's a great bag and I would buy again."

Q&A

Is this rated to fit under an airline seat with and without the expansion?
Good Afternoon Karen, Thank you for contacting Briggs & Riley. I do apologize but you will need to check with your airline to see what dimensions they allow for under the seat personal items. This does differ between airlines.
Would a 16” MacPro laptop fit in the main compartment? And are the zippers gold?
Good Morning K, Thank you for contacting Briggs & Riley. The size of the lap top area is 15" x 9.75" x 0.93". The zippers on this bag are silver.
Does the closure of the main compartment feature a locking zipper? Can a luggage lock fit through the zipper to secure that compartment?
Good Morning Sarah, Thank you for contacting Briggs & Riley. Yes the main compartment has the "kissing" zippers on it so that you can easily use a travel lock to lock that compartment.
Can you add a shoulder strap to the expandable tote? Thanks.
Good Afternoon Lisa, Thank you for contacting Briggs & Riley. You can not add a shoulder strap to this bag.
Please tell me the measurements of laptop pocket.
Good Afternoon Hayley, Thank you for contacting Briggs & Riley. The size of that laptop area is 15" x 9.75" x .93"

"You’re truly getting what you pay for: luggage that's carefully engineered to last."

“It was love at first trip. I've renounced all others and now it's just me and my Briggs & Riley”

“Every detail of this bag, from the zippers to the wheels to the wrinkle-resistant suit compartment, is made to the highest standards”
