Archer Brighton Isabel Women Laptop Tablet Zip Tote 15.6 & 17" (Black)

I purchased this bag a couple of weeks ago and I have wanted to a write a review only when I would honestly put the bag to good use. The time has come. I travel often, for work mainly and the below if my review of a recent work trip. NOTE: this bag can definitely work for personal travel too.This laptop bag is everything that I am looking for in a personal item to go along with my roller carryon. I consider myself a great packer and I want my bags to be functional and versatile. I don't have time for bulkiness, slouchiness, flimsy fabrics and this Archer Brighton laptop bag is the complete opposite. I need my travel items to work for me and this product does just that.In a recent work trip to NYC I took my AB bag and was impressed with the amount of space the bag has inside, its deep and wide, you wouldn't be able to tell from the outside but it has nine fully functioning pockets in various shapes and sizes. 11 total if you count the two pen sleeves. I was able to fit my laptop, a notebook, personal calendar, my Outlander book (1k+ pages and heavy), makeup bag, chargers, wifi hotspot, two cellphones, wallet, and lint roller. I am sure I am forgetting something but I had plenty of room left.I was easily carrying over 8lbs of stuff on my shoulder but I felt the bag handles supported the weight and provided a strong grip and made the weight MUCH more manageable while journeying the long airport hallways.The fabric feels strong and durable. I can tell it can withstand significant rain.I purchased the navy and black but would love to see this bag in a chocolate brown or tan, hunter green or olive would be beautiful too.Overall, I am very pleased with the item, I can imagine this bag being put through multiple travel trips and holding the test of time. At first it reminded me of the Longchamp but once I was able to experience the inside with its various organizational aids by way of pockets and partitions I can say its definitely more versatile for travel. I will be using it for my trips moving forward and excited to how it goes!

Product I received was not like the pictures. The clasp that holds the laptop compartment is completely different. Pictures make the bag look like it is very structured and sturdy but in reality, the bag is very soft and flimsy. The weight of the bag alone causes sagging around the handles and once you put a laptop or binder in it, the bag falls right over. It does have a lot of pockets and compartments but that is the only pro. Definitely not worth the money.

Absolutely beautiful. Tons of space, but it's organized space and not just an empty black hole - zippers, pockets, a separate sleeve for your laptop. Great for professionals but also college students - I definitely would have rathered use this when I was in school than a back pack or messenger bag.

I so love the bag. I have a 17.3" and it fits in the bag but not in the part specifically for the laptop. I was well aware of this before purchasing. I don't believe there is a more beautiful and better quality rich purple laptop bag available.

This tote is perfect for lugging my things to work. Most tote bags that I've looked at don't have the compartments that this Archer Brighton has, and that really makes the difference. I love the separation between the laptop compartment and rest of the bag. I also LOVE that this tote is a zippered tote. There are many zippered pockets on the instead that are large enough to be functional, but small enough to separate what I want to separate.However, keep in mind, the material isn't stiff, which may be what people are more familiar with in other tote bags in this price range. Also, I do wish that the shoulder straps are a little bit longer considering the size of the bag.

I was waiting until after I used this bag for travel to post a review. I have nothing but positive things to say.the pocket that zips open and goes over the suitcase handle is perfect. Everything fit!!I was at a trade show so everything included, laptop, I pad, pair of shoes, jacket, wallet, personal stuff you have to have as well as cards and brochures. It was perfect.I would recommend this to anyone who like everything in one place, organized, and easy to carry.

This product is ok - the section for a laptop is too small for my 17" laptop, but it fits in overall.

There's something about the strap that is uncomfortable when you're carrying a lot of stuff, specifically the *long* straps, not the leather ones. But it's pretty, functional, and sturdy! I agree with many of the reviewers on here that the photos are a bit confusing - it's a soft bag without much structure, it looks more structured in the photos, so it's more of a casual bag for everyday work/school vs a formal event. I like all the pockets inside - it helps keeps me organized. Excited to use this for travel/conferences.
