I am currently using this as a purse/tote on work days.  I commute by train.  The bag doesn't look as distressed as it is in the picture.

Pros -
Beautiful soft leather
leather pebbled for lasting wear
color true to photo
price
good for weekend trips
can use for work or casual

Cons - Not a tote
It looks like a tote in the photo but it is just a big, soft leather bag.
The construction is soft and the bag will not stand on its own, no feet either.
Very few organizing pockets, big and open
I would not put a laptop in this bag but a tablet would be OK
straps are a little thin for wearing on my shoulder and they are not too sturdy
too much weight would pull on the rings

I like the way it looks and will use it as a small overnight bag.  I would not have bought this in the store had I been searching for a tote.
