This tote is perfect as an overnight suitcase, but I typically use it just to consolidate my carry-on items to a single bag. It holds my purse, iPad, chargers, laptop, and work stuff; also medications and anything else I am reluctant to leave in checked baggage. So much simpler to have a single cabin bag like this, and no worries about leaving anything behind as I maneuver through the airport.

 The outer outer zipper sections are for things I want quick access to, and the large inside space just holds everything else (there are 2 additional smaller zipper sections inside where I secure important things I won't need to get to until I reach my destination). Plenty of room for a change of clothes and extra shoes if desired. The handles are sturdy and comfortable, and there's an optional shoulder strap (made of the usual webby fabric, not as nice looking as the bag). The bag itself does hold its shape, but I almost wish the sides were a little stiffer.
