Vertical tote review

"I am in sales and I am in customer offices all day so I bring my office with me. I have a 15” laptop and it’s hard to find the right size bag for my needs. I hoped the vertical option would be a good solution, but the opening is so narrow it’s difficult to access items inside. I thought it would be able to stand up, but the bottom is a bit too narrow for the height so it tips over regardless of how much or little I have put in the tote. If I were using this just to get back and forth to my own office I think it would be fine, but it’s definitely too slim to hold a lunch, etc. I do like the material and the quality of the pockets and zippers and etc."

Love This

"It’s deeper than average and therefore holds more 0f everything that would be needed for an average briefcase. Plus, the fabric is very durable, and can be wiped down if necessary I am quite fond of Briggs & Riley products"

— Joan D. (5/5)

Very nice I haven’t used

"Very nice I haven’t used it yet but soon"

Favourite travel tote bag

"Perfectly sized. Big enough to carry everything I need and small enough to fit comfortably under seat on flight. Definitely my go-to bag for travel."

— S. C. (5/5)

Talk tote is tall

"So impressed with the quality of this tote. I just found it too tall for my shorter frame, and it interfered with the handle of my luggage. Wish it was 2-3 inches shorter and it would be perfect for me."

— Katharine T. (5/5)

Perfect Gift for My Wife – Stylish, Functional, and High-Quality

"I bought the Briggs & Riley Vertical Tote for my wife, and she absolutely loves it! The design is elegant and modern, and the bag is spacious enough for all her essentials—plus, the dedicated laptop sleeve keeps her 15-inch laptop secure. She’s impressed with how well-organized the interior is, with pockets for pens, business cards, and even a spot for her water bottle. The leather accents add a luxurious touch, and the durable nylon exterior feels tough enough to withstand daily use. The RFID pocket for added security is also a nice feature, especially when traveling. The lifetime guarantee from Briggs & Riley was the icing on the cake—it gives us peace of mind knowing that the bag is built to last. Overall, it's a fantastic gift, and she’s been using it every day since I gave it to her! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a high-quality, functional, and stylish tote."

High Quality Travel Bag!

"This bag is amazing!! When I saw the box on my porch I was so excited. Even the box was high quality and the bag was well packed. This durable bag is every traveler’s dream. Check out the sleeve that hooks over the handle of your spinner carry-on at the airport. There is a padded insert for your laptop too, and many dividers. The handles are long and feel like real leather, but they are stiff and feel bulky. I do think once there is weight added to the bag and used more, the straps will soften up. This bag would be great to use to take things back and forth to work, but it’s so nice I want to use only for travel. You need this bag!! This brand is exquisite."

— Samanthar672 (5/5)

Awesome work and travel bag!

"I am LOVING this bag! It feels like an elegantly crafted bag with leather handles, custom tag, and an easy-wipe exterior. It has a nice amount of organization pockets on the inside, including a pocket for your tablet/laptop. The trolley strap is a nice touch to easily slide over your suitcase handle while traveling, and a quick-access zipper pocket on front for your phone/id/etc. With the amount of space it has, I’m SO grateful the handles are long enough to comfortably carry over my shoulder after it’s full. Highly recommend this if you’re looking for a new bag or an awesome gift for a traveling friend."

— Marys619 (5/5)

Perfect for travel

"This bag does so much! It has roomy sturdy straps and a slot in the back for rolling luggage . I love the light colored interior with padding and lots of compartments. It fits a laptop and so much more. The fabric is beautiful and seems like it will wipe clean so easy."

— Kaysams (5/5)

Must must must have

"It's most surely the best addition to my evening.. I use it as a purse pool bag have used it at a lunch bag very versatile and we'll worth having!!"
