What size laptop fits inside? ⌄
The padded laptop pocket fits up to a 13" laptop.

The body is 100% nylon with 100% PU trim and a 100% polyester lining. The handles and bottom panel are vegan leather, and there are metal feet on the base.
How much does it hold? ⌄

Yes. At 14" H x 6.5" W x 12" L, the tote is sized as a personal item to slide under the seat in front of you, and the trolley pass-through slips over your roller handle so it rides through the terminal instead of sliding off your shoulder.

The trolley pass-through is a sleeve on the back of the tote that slides over your suitcase handle so the bag rides on top of your roller instead of your arm. Zip it closed and it doubles as an extra pocket.
What keeps essentials from getting lost inside? ⌄
A key leash clips your keys so they aren't buried at the bottom, a hidden cell phone pocket keeps your phone within reach, and magnetic snap compartments close over the things you want secured. Two slit pockets and two elastic pockets handle everything else.

Reviews
Beauty!
"This is a beautiful tote. It’s roomy, has ample pockets, bonus for the water bottle pocket. The strap is fantastic, most tote straps are an afterthought in the construction of a bag, but for me it’s the most important feature. It’s comfortable, hangs just right where it’s not bouncing off me when I walk. I was a bit unsure if I would keep the tote because my laptop is a beast, it’s 17”, it sticks out the top a wee bit, but there are so many other reasons to keep it. Maybe future designs would make a deeper pocket for longer laptops. I will have multiple uses for this bag, so it’s a keeper."
"It’s kind of bulky. And I was really bummed that my computer doesn’t fit it sticks out. You can’t zip close the purse."
Perfect tote for work
"Absolutely love this bag for work. It’s light weight although I carry my thinkpad laptop, notebook and personal belongings. So many pockets. The straps do not hurt my shoulders which is a big thing for me. Wish I bought this bag sooner."
Perfect work bag!
"I just received my Commuter Tote a week ago but have already loved using it so much! I love the 3 divided sections and large amount of space in the middle that has been perfect for my lunch box. I love that the main pocket zips which will be nice when I use it as a personal item for travel but that the laptop sleeve is easy access. My favorite feature however has been the fact that it stands up by itself if I need to place it on the ground because I don't have to worry about my water spilling or my laptop falling out! Overall, totally worth it even though it was a bit pricier than I would usually spend!"
The perfect work bag!
"Love the material, perfect amount of space inside and pocket space. I can fit my 36oz water bottle, lunchbox, laptop, and more! Love it so much I got it in two colors :)"
"I do wish it fit my 15inch laptop but it will fit my tablet just fine, I love it otherwise! I do like the quality of the bag as well"
"Love this bag. So nice and a great size. Just what I was looking for in a work bag."
Obsessed!
"This bag is exactly what I wanted for work. It has so much room, is so sleek and classy and the crossbody strap is a LIFESAVER when I inevitably cram way too much stuff into all the fun compartments. I have gotten so many compliments on it too so it's not only functional but sexy too 👏"
Perfect work tote
"Extremely well thought design. Laptop fits perfectly, a lot of extra space that's ideal for people who carry a lot of stuff everyday. Handles are long enough to fit big arms comfortably. LOVE."
Q&A
- Is the bottom panel stiff or flexible? If the bag isn't full, will it compress under my arm or stick out like a box?
- Hi Explorer! We are delighted to hear about your interest in our Black Commuter Tote and we understand that you would like to know whether this will perfectly meet your preferences and needs. The Commuter Tote is designed with both structure and flexibility in mind. The bottom panel is lightly structured to help the bag maintain its shape and support your belongings, but it’s not rigid like a hard case. This means that if the bag isn’t fully packed, it will gently compress under your arm rather than sticking out stiffly like a box — offering a more natural and comfortable fit while carrying. It’s a great balance for those who want a polished look without sacrificing comfort or versatility. Whether you’re commuting, traveling, or just running errands, the bag is designed to move with you.
- Does the The Commuter Tote In Black fit a 15” laptop?
- Hi! Thank you for contacting Beis. Yes, a 15 inch laptop will fit in the Commuter Tote.
