Reviews

Waterproof exterior with interior sections for organizing

"I am impressed by this tote! From the waterproof design to the different compartments the use cases are endless. If you're traveling going to school or work or needing to transport items like electronics this tote will definitely accommodate."

Beek12c3 (5/5)

Beautiful spacious tote perfect for travel

"This travel bag is amazing! The best travel bag I have ever used. It looks elegant and is incredibly durable. There is a ton of storage that can be augmented by expanding the tote. The straps are designed in such a way that makes it very comfortable. There are many pockets that help keep everything organized and easy to access."

Kasturinair (5/5)

Have a large capacity.

"Got this product complimentary from Influenster to try and write my honest review. what I like most about this bag is the storage capacity it comes with a lot of compartments. It can be used for travel or work it has a cup holder inside for coffee or juice making me love it even more it looks and feels durable. I think it will last for a long time. which that be said overall I love this bag."

Herminer (5/5)

Well-made sleek and functional

"Firstly the color of this tote is unique and absolutely gorgeous! The pictures don't do it justice. This expandable tote has way more room than I would have thought. It is spacious has plenty of pockets and dividers and will easily carry a laptop+many more items. There are convenient compartments for my cell phone and credit cards/license. It expands out to hold bulkier items like clothing as well. The top zips for added security.The material has a bit of sheen. It seems like it would be waterproof though I have not yet tested that theory. The tote has quality leather trim and a little bit of well-placed gold/metal accent. Zippers and seams are well-constructed. I have to say the material keeps it from photographing well enough to do it justice. Due to the material/shine it photographs a bit wrinkled which is not the case in person. In the room this tote looks sleek and professional.I do wish it had an outside wide comfort strap for travel. However it is still comfortable enough and the straps are long enough that the bag doesn't rub under my arm when I walk. All in all this is a high quality eye-catching and functional tote that I would recommend. 5/5."

Kimb446 (5/5)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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."

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”
