"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!"
"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."
"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."
"My wife loves it. Very functional, quality material, and perfect size to rest on top of your roller bag."
"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."
"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"
"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."
"Would like more structured side. Flopped around a lot and had to fight to find zipper when the bag was not rigid."
"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."
