Rhapsody Essential Tote
Product Details
Web ID: 11238995Great, but its not secure
This bag is a fantastic size, great quality with great compartments that fit more than I expected and perfect for business or personal travel. I like a lot! But I had to rate it a 3 because the only top closure is a snap button and when I purchased this, there was not a clear picture of the top of the bag and I didn’t realize there was no zipper. The big fits perfectly under an airline seat but you have to tilt the bag on the side for airport security and then items fall out. I tried going back on the website to double check the description and pics and the item was no longer offered. Perhaps it was a seasonal Black Friday clear the warehouse item.

Nice size for carryon bag.
Nice size for carryon bag. Especially like the ability to attach to rolling carryon.

Lovely bag, but….
I have a full set of this luggage and love it. Decided to get this one as a work bag. Lovely, but it does not stand up, it falls over and that gets annoying.

Nicely made but…
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice shape but no zipper!! Not safe for European or other travel.

Essential Tote
Love it! Just took it on a ship cruise traveling the coast from Croatia to Athens and it truly was essential! I also received compliments from a cabin stewart who inquired where I had bought it and I directed them to the website where it was on sale! I already had a carry on and also purchased the small quare carryon to compliment this essential tote. Exceeded my expectations!

Must have!
An amazing addition to my Briggs & Riley collection. They forgot my monogram, but still a fabulous purchase.

Happy & sad
Bag is outstanding and meets all my expectations. Disappointed that the price dropped 20% a week after my purchase.

Have tried for several trips; it’s a fail
I have owned this for several years, and tried to make it work but wish I had returned it. First, there is no zipper so you absolutely can not lay it flat under the seat. Items will fall out. Second, if it is full, it droops over while stacked on top of your suitcase and looks sloppy, and also is inviting for theft. I had my cobbler put extra snaps along the top for security, but they won’t stay closed with even a few reading items and one sweater. This would work for you if you have only a laptop and few reading materials along with your more secure handbag to keep wallet, etc safe. But then you are carrying multiple bags, which no one wants. It’s a fail, and I can’t understand why it hasn’t been redesigned. Buyer beware!
