My third B&R bag ad I love it!
I bought this piece because I wanted a carryon that was without wheels and smaller than my other B&R carryon but still could carry a lot and match my roller bag. This is perfect and I had my first trip with it last week--great pockets inside and out, love the expandable bottom, and easy on my shoulder or easy to attach to my roller bag. Totally perfect. So glad I snagged it.

Would like more structured side.
Would like more structured side. Flopped around a lot and had to fight to find zipper when the bag was not rigid.

Not my favorite
It is a beautiful looking bag; however the slip through panel to secure the tote over the luggage handle was so tight that it took two of us to pull the tote off. The inside pocket for the laptop is floppy. The tote does not meet the high standards of the other Briggs and Riley luggage I have owned for years.

Right size
This bag is just the right size to carry lots of stuff without being bulky. It zips shut. The fabric feels luxurious. I like it. We just made our first airplane trip.

Stylish and Sophisticated
I love Briggs & Riley products.. They are so well made and they have a life time warranty. They are so versatile, stylish and sophisticated. You will always receive complements when traveling with them.

Expandable Travel Tote
I love the expandable travel tote that has enough room for most of the items I pack for a weekend trip. The handles are extra long to either carry on your shoulder or attach to luggage. The tote is shortened with a zipper bottom or expanded. It’s also lightweight. The compartments for thermos and laptops is convenient.

Largely functional tote with some minor issues
I'm starting a new career that requires me to travel a lot and wanted to treat myself to something durable and attractive. The Expandable Tote was my favorite of the Briggs and Riley options, though it didn't have quite everything I was looking for. There are some small modifications they could make (or I may make manually) that would make this a significantly better product. PROS: I love the wipeable vinyl material and the expandable section. The compressed tote is a good size for me to use on its own, but the expansion is great for unexpected acquisitions and travel. I'm hoping the zipper will last a long time (and appreciate the warranty if it doesn't). KNOWN FLAWS: The laptop pocket is tiny and doesn't fit my laptop (I knew this when I bought it) so I had to buy a case for my laptop and my laptop floats around loosely inside it. If they can't or won't increase the laptop pocket (I know nobody who has a laptop this small), I would love to see them add an elastic strap so that people who have bought extra cases can keep them secure inside the bag. Additionally, I really wish this bag had a second strap, or loops for a second strap (like the Weekender). This was another compromise I made when I bought it, but I didn't realize at time of purchase that the shoulder straps are so long that the bag drags on the floor if carried in the hand (rather than on the shoulder) when expanded. UNEXPECTED ISSUES: After using it for a few weeks, I would really have loved a second water bottle pocket inside, and I didn't realize that the B&R logo is embossed, which some companies (like mine) don't allow for personal purses. These are minor issues overall, but they do make the bag a little less functional than I had hoped. I'm hoping the lifetime warranty and washable outer fabric will make up for the defects in time.

Expandable tote
I was disappointed that it was not made out of the same material as the carry on. However I do love the size and weight of it
