I love this bag for everyday / work. Perfect size for a petite person (5’ 2). I use the water pocket for my glasses case and shoe pocket for my wallet. My favorite feature is the hidden small outside pocket which fits my iphone XR + work ID + lipstick and keys. A few weeks in, I did experience some staining on my clothing from the shoulder handle, which was immediately resolved with excellent customer service.

I work crazy hours for my job and at any point, my bag fluctuates from carrying just my agenda and iPad to carrying a large portfolio pad with dozens of papers, binders, a water bottle, and more. This bag smoothly switches modes from a classy, timeless work tote to a practical carry-all backpack. This bag has checked off everything on my wish list for the perfect bag!

I've been on a hunt for a bag that will take me from work to gym to dinner! Caraa tote did just that. I love how it's low maintenance, easy to clean, and could fit a lot. I even use it as a weekend bag. My favorite part is I could use it as a backpack when it gets heavy! I'm pretty happy with it but I think it'd be more awesome if the straps could both function as a tote and a backpack instead of detachable straps. I totally recommend this bag to anyone looking for the perfect work to gym bag. :)

I love the smart design and versatility of this bag! Love the ability to convert from Tote to Backpack and the padding on the backpack straps are a huge bonus. I love how easy the shoe bag is the roll up when not in use and the other pockets are amazing too. I wish that it was a little larger and had an actual laptop sleeve, but still not enough to not give it 5 stars! Definitely will be purchasing other Caraa’s!

I have been looking at this bag for years and finally splurged. The pockets fit everything nicely and the side shoe bag has been perfect to take my sweaty gym clothes home. The water bottle pouch is one of the best parts of this bag. It fits my 13" laptop too. The laptop is lose in the big, main pocket, which honestly isn't ideal but still works.

The fabric is so durable. It's a smooth vinyl texture and wipes clean very easily. The gold hardware is quite resilient too. I ruin bags in about 6 months time frame in my NYC commute. This bag looks brand new still and does not have a flaw to it yet.

I usually hate backpacks and the handles for the backpack straps are so ridiculously comfortable. I forget I have it on my back it adjusts the weight so well. I used to have to get massages frequently for my shoulders because my bags are so heavy and I carry them on one shoulder. Now I don't twist my back like I used to because the weight is so evenly distributed.

My only sad thoughts about this bag is it comes in such boring colors (I miss the oxblood red, and would probably buy it in Olive too). I hate that my only options are navy and black. Like I said earlier, I wish it had a laptop sleeve or laptop section. It has a tablet section, but nothing bigger than a 7-8" screen.
