The Uptown Tote is built to move seamlessly from workdays to weekends, with room for everything you need. Inside, its thoughtful layout makes it a true everyday essential: two water bottle holders (one fits a 30-oz Stanley), a zippered compartment, mesh and slide pockets, two lipstick pockets, and a key leash to keep essentials secure and easy to find. You’ll also find two additional exterior pockets, one that fits a 13" laptop or iPad, and another for quick-grab items.

Carry it your way with the removable crossbody strap, by hand, over the shoulder, or hands-free. On travel days, the back trolley sleeve slides over your luggage handle and converts into a slide pocket when not in use. Crafted from soft vegan leather and available in Black, Cognac and Berry.

2 months in and still obsessed

I love this bag so much. The quality is so nice and I get compliments on it constantly. I've had it now for two months and it still looks brand new.

Somewhat disappointed

When I received this item from the postal service delivery lady. I was surprised to learn how it was packaged so freely and wasn’t with more care to prevent the item from creasing on the corners which cannot be corrected.

Love the Uptown tote

Love the Uptown tote. The olive color is perfect for fall and the interior pockets keep me organized.

Pretty

Very beautiful bag. Love the aesthetics of the shape a lot. I think the cup holder spaces make the bag a little too wide for my needs (and in my opinion the size takes it into weekender territory), but it’s cute enough for me to keep using it. I wish the strap weren’t so short and the bag weren’t so unstructured/floppy

No structure

This tote is cute but it’s very unstructured it never sits up right. The material is floppy. It doesn’t look polished. Save your money.

I love the bag and would have give 5 stars

I love the bag and would have give 5 stars. But, do to the way it was packaged a crease was created at the bottom of the bag on one side. I'm still waiting for the crease to straighten out.

Taking the Classy Uptown Around Town

The Uptown is such a classy style just in itself and in the color Cognac it’s stunning! It’s such a perfect size to me. I really like the handles and the strap. I like options and this bag has that and so much organization. I don’t find it heavy at all with all of my necessities in this bag. I really like the slip pockets on either side of the main compartment. Great for computer and files or papers or notebooks or regular books alike. The matching accessories takes it to a new level. I love how things are not just floating around in the bag. You know where everything is and can get to it quickly. I have had many compliments and very proud to be carrying my uptown around town lol.
Quick note also that customer service is some of the best I feel. I have found they are quick to respond and quick to help with whatever your questions may be and really kind.
The true color is in the 4 photos. The first photo was bad lighting but just out of the bag.

Mostly love it

I like this bag, perfect size for my work day. I like that it is softer than the other totes but it is almost too soft. It puddles and collapses a bit and I wish it was slightly more structured to keep its shape a bit more. Otherwise, it fits my laptop, drinks and everything I need for a day out.

Turning heads… Stylish and functional work bag!!

This brand kept popping up on my IG feed, so out of curiosity I checked it out. Then I received the Uptown Tote set as a Mother’s Day gift from my children.

It’s functional because it’s well designed with organization pockets. There are room for laptop, iPad and notebook plus more! The exterior is easy to wipe down and the pass thru sleeve for traveling is a great bonus!
**only improvement for the bag is to be more structured, and to make a smaller version that more suitable for weekends**

I no longer use my other bags!

As the title says… I don’t use any of my other bags anymore. This tote has space and organization pockets for everything.

No longer do I have to juggle both my water bottle and coffee cup while trying to lock my door in the morning. They both have their spots in my bag along with all my daily carry items, my lunch, my Kindle, extra socks just in case, a fan, sunscreen… shall I go on?

Just buy the bag, it’s gonna change your life lol

My New Go-To Work Bag

I’m obsessed with this color. The bag is the perfect size — it holds all of my work essentials, everything I normally keep in my purse, and my 32 oz Hydrojug with room to spare.

Dr. Hands new professional tote

Functional and fashionable

I absolutely love this bag! I was torn between this and the multitasker but this one just looked a bit more elevated. The slightly smaller size makes this much easier to transition from work to everyday use.
This is my 5th bag and I have loved every single one. They are functional and fashionable. 100%recommend.

Excellent work bag!

Excellent work bag! There is a lot of space in this bag! It is stylish and functional. There is plenty of space to carry my essentials, lunch bag, Owala, coffee cup, planner and 13in MacBook! The interior pockets make organization a breeze. I wish it had a little more structure, but otherwise it's fantastic! Really hoping to get one in the new Mocha Mousse color way.

Only one you need

This is absolutely the only bag you will ever need if you're a commuter. This has been the most amazing bag to take to work with all my stuff. It is not overly big and yet fits lunch, coffee mug, water bottle and so much more, it's perfect!
You need to get it.
Thank you so much.

I am obsessed! I mean the bag is just about absolute perfection

I am obsessed! I mean the bag is just about absolute perfection. I needed a work/travel bag that could hold all my "stuff". Im talking 2 laptops, iPad, 2 iPhones, my Stanley, pens wallet, notebook, wallet, makeup bag and sometimes every my lunch or snack. I didn't want something rigid but not to slouchy as well and this hit all my requirements. I am even eyeing a second one cause that suede will not stop calling my name. Im very impressed with the quality and with that price point WHAT are you waiting for... PLACE THE ORDER!!!

Almost perfect

Beautiful bag. Love how roomy it is and the overall style. I just wish the ampersand wasn’t upside down.
