Ameribag Singapore Bucket Tote

Travel

It had the excellent quality of an Ameribag, but was just too large to be used for everyday, so it got returned. I need a bag that is in between the Rio & the Singapore for everyday use.

So great for work. All compartments are so well planned for easy access, but they also protect what you have in them well,.

The side pocket is a pain because of the one-way zipper (2-way would be much better) and the clasp, because the clasp gets in the way of the zipper. There is only one interior compartment. The bag is well made and would be great if there were more interior compartments and the side pocket was easier to access and use. The straps should be a bit longer.

I was very pleased with the outstanding quality of this bag. The zippers we a little stiff at first but those have gotten easier. The large compartment has been great for carrying files, books, and various other items collected throughout the day. I may not need to purchase another bag for a long time!

This is a great tote. I really like the compartment on the side for access to cell phone or ID and credit cards. My laptop fits in the center part, but I have a small laptop. The underside of the straps are rubberized, which really helps to keep the bag in place on my shoulder. I begin an internship with a Big 4 accounting firm in January, plus night school, so this will be the perfect everyday bag to use.

I've been carrying AmeriBag's classic Healthy Back Bag (size medium) for many years but wanted something more stylish. This is indeed -- it's very attractive -- but looks come at a price: It's not anywhere near as well organized as the original. Also, I can't see that it's going to be good for my back as it's heavy and there doesn't seem to be a way to lighten it up (the pockets don't distribute the weight the way the original's do). The straps also are too short for comfortable shoulder wear. Ah well.
