Reviews

Well made elegant travel bag.

"I love my bag in black color. It looks polished and elegant. Well made and thoughtfully designed. However I took off one star because of the handles of this bag. They are not flexible and hard to carry on my shoulders when my bag is heavy. Also it was not comfortable to place this bag under the seat during the flight because those handles stick out like a wings. It is manageable though. Otherwise it would have been a perfect bag for travel."

— Nataliya M. (4/5)

Great Travel Bag

"Perfect travel bag! The back slides onto my other Briggs and Riley hard shell carry on luggage handle. I love that the purse will not fall off walking through the airport and the best part is it has a zipper on the bottom to expand the height! This way I carry can my bottled water and all my travel items in one place. It has a zipper to close the purse so nothing falls out and fits under the seat."

— Angelica A. (5/5)

Spacious durable bag.

"This is a good bag. Very durable and easy to clean. Do want a slightly wider section to secure my 15” laptop. The biggest change to make is the shoulder straps. The straps are too stiff. Constantly in the way. When stacking on luggage I need to squeeze the straps in between the extension handle of the luggage to keep them tucked away. When unzipping the bag I am constantly fighting the straps."

— Sandra A. (4/5)

Excellent for Travel

"This tote was perfect for a week away overseas. The right amount of space and organization for holding everything one needs for international travel."

— Julia S. (5/5)

Expandable Tote

"I wasn't sure if I would like this bag, but turns out that I love it. The bottle holder inside is very handy. Rather than have a purse and another bag for water, heels, misc etc. , I put it all into this one bag. And I like that it has the full zipper closure ! This was a good purchase especially during the sale."

— Amy F. (5/5)

"love it, beautiful, sturdy, the perfect size."

Perfect expandable tote

"During a trip, I was having a lot of trouble working all of the pockets, zippers and compartments of my backpack. While going up an escalator, the woman ahead of me had this Briggs & Riley tote. I asked her about the bag, and she gave a summary in the short ride up. It was precisely what I needed. For me, it fits things and items are easily accessible. I used it for a short trip as an expanded bag, and was surprised everything fit comfortably. The cons: the pocket for the computer is for small computers only. I wish it was just half an inch wider. When it is full as an expanded tote, it can be heavy. The pros: accessible pockets, fits everything in an organized way, works great on top of a roller bag when navigating the airport, looks very good, is lightweight. Much better than a backpack for me."

— Karen L. (5/5)

Phenomenal bag for travel

"Good value for price, quality and ruggedness."

— Rwang C. (5/5)

Functional elegance

"Functional elegance. Fits well on the shoulder. Internal compartments are thoughtfully placed. External compartments provide ease of use."

— Veronica M. (5/5)

love this bag

"I am absolutely loving my expandable tote! Not only does it look cute, but it also holds everything I need. It has the perfect number of pockets, which makes using the bag even more convenient. The materials used to make the bag are very sturdy, and it has been holding its shape well. I would recommend it to anyone!"

— Victorina G. (5/5)

Q&A

where do the monogram letters go on an expandable tote bag please: The monogramming is on the fob that is wrapped around the handle.
Is this rated to fit under an airline seat with and without the expansion?: Good Afternoon Karen, Thank you for contacting Briggs & Riley. I do apologize but you will need to check with your airline to see what dimensions they allow for under the seat personal items. This does differ between airlines.
Would a 16” MacPro laptop fit in the main compartment? And are the zippers gold?: Good Morning K, Thank you for contacting Briggs & Riley. The size of the lap top area is 15" x 9.75" x 0.93". The zippers on this bag are silver.
Does the closure of the main compartment feature a locking zipper? Can a luggage lock fit through the zipper to secure that compartment?: Good Morning Sarah, Thank you for contacting Briggs & Riley. Yes the main compartment has the "kissing" zippers on it so that you can easily use a travel lock to lock that compartment.
Can you add a shoulder strap to the expandable tote? Thanks.: Good Afternoon Lisa, Thank you for contacting Briggs & Riley. You can not add a shoulder strap to this bag.
