“I bought this as a gift for my girlfriend and she absolutely loves it. I actually got the color changed to English tan which is such a beautiful leather color. Popov had great service changing my order. I did make sure that I changed the color only after 2 days of ordering. Keep in mind these are made to order so I was able to catch them before my bag was started. I personally have the traditional tobacco leather wallet from Popov which is the best wallet I have ever purchased and I love the quality of their leather products and this bag is no different.
So these are the comments from my girlfriend that you may find useful if you are looking to buy one. She said that the size is a perfect size for her. I bought her the regular size not the large one. She is about 5’ 1” so I think this is a good sized bag if you are an average sized woman. You can fit a 13” MacBook Pro in there with no issues. She also commented on how much she likes the shape of the bag and how to straps let the bag sit at the perfect height on her.
Overall, I don’t think you can get much better bang for your buck. I mean if this bag is taken care of it could last a life time. And I feel like leather, in general, will never go out of style. So if you are considering one just pull the trigger because there is really no better bag out there for the money.”
“Wonderful experience. Purchased two of these for wife and daughter, both teachers. They carry everything they need in them, love the color and very durable.”
“This tote is soooo good! Made from the amazing British Tan Horween leather, it is buttery soft and durable....and smells amazing! The bridle leather handles are durable and tough and set off the color of the British Tan leather so well. The bag itself is the perfect size -- I can stuff it full or have a light load and it is always comfortable to carry. This tote has become my daily bag and I love it even more as I use it and it breaks in and gets softer. I get so many compliments on the bag, which is no surprise as it is a prime example of Popov's beautiful craftsmanship. Thrilled with this purchase and would buy it again with no hesitation.”
“This bag just arrived and will be a present for my wife along with a field notes cover. It looks amazing. Simple yet elegant. She was wanting something to use as a bag for a small laptop for everyday use. This fits the bill perfectly. Not a blemish on it. I can't wait to see her face on Christmas day! And Ryan threw in a free saddle soap with my order. Thanks Again!”
“Based on the quality of other Popov items I have purchased for myself and son, we purchased a tote for my wife. Now she is hooked on Popov products! The workmanship and color combo were perfect. She has received tons of compliments and requests for the website.”
“After admiring my Popov wallets and Field Notes cover, it was time to introduce my wife to the quality of Popov Leather. As soon as I saw the Leather Tote posted on Instagram, I hoped it would be available in time for her birthday, and it was.
I placed my order for the Tote, Internal Pocket and chose a makers mark on the internal pocket. It showed up in the time promised, well packed and even prettier than the pics. Dealing with Ryan and the Popov crew is always smooth with quick communication.
She was very pleased to smell the leather and even commented on it a few times The internal pocket and key holder work perfectly, the size is exactly what she wanted. I measured her other bags to make sure I knew what I was getting myself into, by buying her another bag. When she showed her fellow co-workers, what the kids and I purchased for her, they were all impressed as well. She couldn't be happier with her new tote and has been using it daily since she received it. Of course she asked what we paid, we told her and she said "That's a good price given the quality, I wonder if they'll make a black one too". When she noticed the straps were black, she was even happier as it could now be used with basically all her work and casual clothes. It is starting to show some marks from daily use, but that just adds to it's beauty and she is looking forward to it developing some patina over time.
Needless to say, I highly recommend this bag for anyone looking to pamper or spoil someone in need of a Tote.”
