Super handy and compact packable tote

One of my favorite purchases by far - it folds up quite small, but is large enough to hold a fair amount. I think it was able to fit a shoebox for boots inside, which surprised me. The zip is a nice touch as most compact totes don't have one. The built in storage pouch also doubles as a small pocket inside the tote when unfolded for small items. The strap is nice and anti-slip. All in all, lots of great features in a small packable tote

Stylish, strong and compact bag BUT...

Really love this bag, it looks great, it's packable and strong, BUT one thing I'd change is making the strap length a bit longer so it can go cross body. Also, I find the straps are just a little bit close over the shoulder, and I'm not a particularly big person either. So yes, what I love to see is either adjustable straps, or straps that are extra long so this bag can be worn comfortably across the body for ease and security during longer trips. Surely I can't be the only person to mention this? ?? Maybe for next model @peakdesign?

Easy to keep handy for unexpected needs

I liked my first one so much, I bought another. It packs down to the size of my iPhone so it's easy to stash in my car, bike panniers, or luggage.

Very happy with the packable tote

We ordered and used two on a recent trip. It came in really handy to have tucked away to pull out for groceries, gear, any random stuff we found. The strap is pretty comfortable, easy to pack away. Being zippable is a plus. The major flaw I had was the pocket is too small for my phone (pixel 7 xl)

Great as airplane underseat bag

I wanted a bag that was lightweight and had a zipper, to use for my airplane essentials. This bag was exactly right! i was able to put my sling bag, Hydroflask water bottle, noise-cancelling headphones in a fabric pouch and a Turtl neck wrap. Along with a 30L Matador Seg backpack, I was able to keep everything organized. I purchased a bundle of two totes and used them to shop for groceries when I got to my destination. Also, love the single padded handle since there are fewer straps to deal with. As a 57 year old, female minimalist traveller, I would recommend these packable totes to everyone.

Good quality bag but poorly executed

Quality of the materials and construction are both excellent. The zipper is a nice touch if you throw the bag in the back of your car and want to keep the items from falling out. Due to the single handle and narrow opening, it is a bit cumbersome to get items in and out of the bag. Combined with 12L capacity which feels very limited, this bag just feels very cramped. The handle is a decent length for carrying, but could be a bit longer to use as an over the shoulder tote. It's a hassle that this bag has to be turned inside out to pack it, and turned right side out before every use. Unfortunately this bag will either get relegated to my car for emergency use or I will give it away as a gift to someone who might like it better. I have a bag from another brand that packs down to a fraction of the size despite being almost double the capacity, and is much more accommodating due to the dual handles and wide opening.

I never thought a Tote could be this good.

Honestly tote bags are not taken seriously today. Most of them are not designed well and the standard canvas material is simply terrible. It gets wet, dirty, dusty. This tote is thoughtfully designed and gives a refreshed use to this category. The material is light, holds well the wet/water, doesn't get dusty and it's sturdy. The size is perfect, easy to carry on. The packable mechanism is not frustrating. Finally a tote that makes sense. Thanks Peak Design.

Highly recommended

Bought this tote bag last month as a "just in case" shopping bag inside my camera bag. Ended up being my camera bag for my 4 week trip to Japan. Idea 1: 2 loops to attach anchor links so to attach a leash? Idea 2: longer strap? Great bag!

Functional but stylish

Got already the everday totebag before I got the packable totebag. I am not disapointed again. High quality, very functional (with little details Like a bag in bag for keys or phone) but aswell very stylish. And although little packed a lot of space unpacked and easy to re-pack.

Love this little tote!

I only just discovered this after buying our PD products. It's my perfect "dirty clothes bag" on trips. I've been stuffing dirty clothes in plastic trash bags for years. Now I can put them in a bag that zips closed! It's perfect- and holds a surprising amount of stuff for its size.

Fits iPhone 14 Pro Max Peak Design Everyday case

The interior pocket exactly fits my iPhone 14 Pro Max Peak Design Everyday case, so you can probably assume anything smaller than that model will also fit if in a Peak Design Everyday case as well.

Awesomeeeeee

I almost never write reviews but specially opened the website to write one for this small piece of pure perfection. I have really used the one packable tote I got last year to its limits. Carried everything you can name. Even my laptop - WITHOUT a cover. I have carried it in snow, rain, wind, sun, every weather. It didn't let anything inside neither it let the contents outside. I even once had my coffee cup leak inside this tote, I didn't know until I actually opened it and saw the bag was containing all the liquid inside. The zippers don't let the contents out or in either. I'm gonna get pack of 6 to gift it to everyone i know ??

Love it

Really happy with this cool packable tote. Fabric is nice to touch and feels very durable. Zip is very handy to have to keep things inside. Packs away very easy. Just need to remember to bring with me. Great to use for travels as your personal item to quickly stuff items before boarding the plane.

Simple yet very useful

I always travel with a packable totebag because you never know when you have to shop for groceries. Also you have a bag to fill with souvenirs when you get back home! What I love about this totebag from Peak Design is the zip: you can close the bag so there no chance to spill the content! What can be improved: it's nice that the handle is padded but it's a bit to sturdy so it's more difficult than my other totebags to pack. I wouldn't mind less padding for more packability!

Compact light tote for shopping

I bought this a couple weeks ago, and I'm pretty happy with it. But it isn't perfect, although the quality seems good, the packing is a little tricky and it feels like the pouch for that could have been a little bigger. But hey, it was fairly cheap.

Excellent bag

I have bought five of these bags and given some as gifts. I love them. I especially like them for travel as I can use them to carry my every day carry when I leave my backpack in the hotel. I like that they are so small but strong and I can put my purchases in them. And, I love having the zipper. I have other cloth/fabric bags for groceries so don't really use this for groceries.

Excellence with a zip

I've already been using other tote bags for years, for groceries. What I didn't have is a tote that's great for travel - very strong yet lightweight and packable into its own small pocket, and very importantly it has a zip. When packed it has a loop so you can attach it onto other things. I keep this tote inside my everyday backpack at all times. If I buy something during my commute home, or if I buy something at an airport or train station, I pull out this bag. Because it has a zipper, nothing will fall out. So it's a lot better than the cheap paper or plastic shopping bags that the stores give you. Of course you could use it for groceries too!

Obsessed!

I am obsessed with this bag. I received it in a festival gift bag, and if I am totally honest, my first impression was that it was not my style, and I almost gave it away (I am a baggu girl through and through when it comes to totes), luckily I didn't, I gave it a go, and my love affair with this bag took off. It is quite honestly the perfect little travel bag (that fits so much!)?you can throw your computer in it for errands, use it for groceries, out in the things you want close by for a long haul flight, or walk long distances comfortably. The top of the strap has a flat bit that makes it really comfortable to carry on your shoulder, the bag itself fits really nicely against the body while carrying, the zipper is super handy, it is very lightweight, packs small and is easy to wash/airdry. I will never go on another trip without this bag.

I LOVE THIS THING

I was in need of a portable tote to keep in my backpack for days when I was planning to go to the market after work. I had read that the strap on this was too short but after using this I can confirm that's not the case and that this bag feels invincible and invisible at the same time! It's super strong and also when packed up, it's tiny and fits perfectly in my backpack! Other things I like - The zipper is really nice for making sure groceries don't still out the top or adjusting to hold taller items stable - The texture on the handle feels super high quality for the price and size of this bag! If you're thinking about purchasing this, go for it! It's a worthy investment and will enhance your life when pop up shopping trips arise!

I bought this tote bag at the Peak Design store in NYC and it is really cool that they have this location-exclusive product. It folds into a tiny pouch and you can easily carry it around in your pocket until you need to use it.

Best tote I've ever owned

You've been at the store with a reusable shopping bag. You've struggled with the folding and unfolding, it feels kinda weak (and you wonder how long it'll be until your shopping bag ends up becoming part of the problem), then when you get to the car everything falls out. The Peak Design bag is better in every way. It's easy to fold up. It feels strong enough to pack - I've put five litres of orange juice in, no problem. And the zip is convenience you didn't know you needed. Pop it in the car and nothing's going to tumble out. It's amazing. Everyone should get one of these. If you're buying something else on the PD website, put one of these in your cart. You'll find yourself using it all the time.

A Giant Leap For Tote-Kind
Packable tote bags have been around for a long time. When designing Peak Design's, They specifically aimed to improve on their pain points with the status quo.

Ultralight and ultra-capable, the Peak Design Packable Tote is an unstructured and zippable carry-all with some key improvements over other packable tote bags: zip closure, a solo microfiber-padded shoulder/hand strap, and a self-healing nylon shell that is constructed out of a single piece of fabric, which minimizes seams and stress points. And it all packs down to become barely larger than a deck of cards.

The zip closure prevents spills and also keeps sand and dirt out, which greatly increases the versatility of the Packable Tote-groceries, travel, baby, beach-you'll never stop finding uses for this bag. Lucky for you, it's built to last. The durable #5 UltraZip can withstand decades of use, thanks to proprietary abrasion-resistant thread. The beautiful, 100% recycled ripstop 70D nylon/poly shell is self-healing, meaning it has a special coating that will actively heal small scratches. It's also water-resistant. The shoulder strap is constructed from high-strength nylon webbing with a soft sewn-in microfiber pad. Unlike dual-strap totes, the single strap makes this bag easier to grab, carry, and stow. Weighs a svelte 80g (2.8oz) and packs down to slip inside any pocket or bag. The integrated stuff sack doubles as an interior pocket when using the tote. Fair Trade Certified and 100% carbon neutral.
