This bag is very sturdy. Perfect for an everyday work bag. Would highly recommend!

Love it! Perfect size for folders or notebooks and the outside pocket is super convenient. The material was a little more stiff/structured than I expected, but still an excellent product

I think I just wasn’t meant to have this bag. The first one I purchased came with a large round, oil-like stain on the front of the exterior pocket. I exchanged it. I just received and opened the new bag this morning and it has large white marks on the canvas. I know these bags are “imperfect” by the nature of the canvas, I’m just not sure I want one with large white marks. Have not yet decided to return for a refund, or try another exchange.

Love the size of this bag & the pockets. I have been looking for a good book bag that is not enormous – this holds my Bible, planner, notebook & a bottle of water with room to spare! It is stiff & stands up with books in it! If you do not want stiff canvas this is not the bag for you. I love it!

Leather handles on this handbag do not fold in while you are using the cross body strap; they just hang out, in the way. If they had been positioned on a swivel joint of some kind to turn into the body of the bag, the design would have been more successful. The cross body strap was a bit thin as well. I returned this bag.

I love this bag. It’s casual with a chic look thanks to the leather straps. I made the shoulder strap as short as possible and usually carry the bag over my shoulder instead of in my hand like a tote. I’m 5’4″ and the bag is comfortably at my hip. The strap is intended as a crossbody, but I don’t like to carry bags that way. Since the clasps for the strap swivel, the bag is easily carried either crossbody or over the shoulder. I don’t mind that there’s no way to zip or close the top of the bag. The size is just right for all my usual stuff (including a huge sunglasses case) and a water bottle, and it can also holder more if I have extras (books, folders, etc) to throw in without being too big for everyday use. The British Surplus color is a great neutral without being gray/black/camel. I ordered this bag just to see it hoping maybe I’d like it. Turns out that I love it.

I wanted a lightweight non-leather bag and thought this might work. Oh heck no. The shorter carrying handles are so awkward I would have to cut them off OR exclusively use the short ones and not use the longer strap at all. The short handles are leather so over time they may soften up, but right now they stick straight up or bent to the side and stick out all cattywompus if you try to use the long strap. I tried tucking them in. I tried folding them down. I hate doing returns so I tried my best to keep this bag but it’s just terribly designed.

This tote is extremely convenient to use, especially the pocket on the front since it holds small things like notebooks, your phone, etc. I like an open top on a bag unless I’m going to be on an airplane with my bag under the seat in front of me. In that case, an open top is not so great. The material is sturdy but pliable and it’s good to have hand carrying straps and a cross body strap when you need to be hands free. Zappos has good customer service, and if you get something that is stained, broken, etc., they will take care of getting you a new one. I’ve had that happen, and the situation has been resolved quickly and satisfactorily.

Great bag for everyday essentials.

I love this bag so much! I bought it in the green (British Surplus) and it is exactly as shown in the photos. Very roomy, holds a TON of stuff. Material is thick and study – definitely feel like this will hold up over time. Love the brown leather straps and the longer strap for when I prefer to use as a crossbody. I had been thinking about purchasing this bag forever and so happy I finally did.

Absolutely love this bag. It just perfect!!!!

The size is perfect to use as an oversized purse. I can put a small zip bag with all my loose items, my wallet, phone, sunglasses, a book, keys, and still have lots of room left over. I also love the two different options for handles. I use both. Construction is sturdy with superior materials. I will be using this bag all through summer and fall!

My go to running errands bag. I purchased the black . It’s not a true black which I love . Durable and can hold a ton. Great price point . Inside zipper pocket and outside slip pocket . Can carry on shoulder or use as a crossbody . Love that it’s canvas . Real leather straps .

This bag is a Goldilocks purse — not too big, not too small. It has more an inner pocket, plus a zipper pocket in it. I didn’t like the width of the cross-body strap, so I bought a wider, patterned one off Amazon to replace it. The uniform color of the bag lends itself well to go with all sorts of patterns.

I own quite a few of Madewell leather bags and I absolutely adore them. A majority of the them are from the Transport collection so I was excited to purchase this one. I wanted a canvas bag for the warmer months and this fits the bill. The handles and and crossbody straps are leather which is a nice touch.
The only issue I have is the color, it’s not entirely accurate. I purchased the British Surplus (same as Distant Surplus if you buy directly from Madewell) and it’s much lighter/washed out in person. Still love it and will definitely fit my needs but just food for thought.

I loved the purse, but like one other reviewer commented, the leather is cheap and cheapens the look and feel of the purse. I thought about ordering it in the olive green and replacing the crossbody strap, but that still that left the handle straps that are cheap looking and don’t fold down when using the crossbody strap. It is too bad since I have always like Madewell merchandise.

Love this bag. It’s a smallish tote, but it holds everything I need most days. Very well made and sturdy. Very happy.
