Everyone needs a travel tote bag. For long trips, short trips, and day to day use it is a must have. I love totebags that have a variety of pockets to keep all my items sorted as well as a variety of handles to make carrying it for a long period of time a breeze.

This tote bags boasts all of those features. The front of the bag has a large magazine pocket with inner pockets to hold your cell phone, or ereader to ensure easy access to your essentials, two pockets on each side of the bag, a large zipper pocket to keep your items secure, and two slip pockets for other items you want easy access too.

The interior is large to keep whatever your days calls for.
