Purchased as a birthday gift for my step-daughter, she loved it!  Received compliments immediately upon opening it at her office (where she received the gift) from her co-workers regarding the tote and its color - I ordered Brownstone. She is using it as a tote for work - laptop and files, along with her purse and lunch, but says she could easily use it to go on an overnight trip. It's sturdy, well-made and fashionable Tommy Bahama, suitable for men or women.
