Reviews
Perfect everyday tote
"I purchased this for a smaller work alternative / everyday bag. My 15. 6in work laptop doesn’t fit (it sticks out a bit which really isn’t that big of a deal - I knew it when I bought it) but my Mac fits perfectly, which is fine since I rotate computers based on various things. The bag is spacious and sleek. It’s exactly what I need for everyday. I have the East West tote too which I carry often but can sometimes be a bit much."
BUY THIS BAG
"10/10 the best bag I’ve ever bought! So roomy and somehow fits more than my backpack that is way bigger! Everything has a place and I’m not rooting around trying to find loose items inside. Recommend pairing it with the Beis mesh pouches. The only thing I wish was slightly bigger was the pocket inside the front sleeve. My kindle doesn’t fit inside"
Great Bag
"Love this bag so far! It has a key clip, two water bottle holders & multiple pockets. The only thing I was a little bummer to discover is it has no pass through for a suitcase. All in all though, great for work & holds a lot"
Great Bag. . . but one issue (for me)
"Everything is 10/10 except the laptop part. My laptop (14") stuck out when placed in the laptop compartment. Living in the Midwest - that will not fly as we have lot so rain, snow, etc. I need my laptop to be protected. Oher than that - everything s great. Lots of room for everything else in life: water bottle, planner, iPad, etc. Sadly, I will have to return. Customer service has been amazing though and suggested I exchange for the Large Work Tote. So I plan on doing that. A worker has that exact bag, so I approve and cannot wait to get the exchange."
Daughters birthday present
"I gifted the brown to my daughter for work . The black for myself."
Pleasantly surprised
"I’m actually surprised how much I like this bag. I had to go back in the office for my job and my old work bag from 2019 didn’t even have a laptop sleeve or water bottle pouch so I decided to upgrade. The interior pockets are amazing for commuting, no more water bottles to hold or accidentally fall out off the side of the bag. I can pack everything I need and more. I wish it was a little more structured: when I stand it on its own it slouches a little more than I like. And I wish there were more color/texture options. But the pros of this bag drastically outweigh the cons. I love it!"
Commuter Tote
"I am completely in love with this bag! Love the color, love the style, love the size, love the material. My new favorite bag!"
"This bag is awesome , go buy it its perfect for traveling!"
I LOVE this tote except. . . .
"I love this tote. Its exactly what I was looking for except: 1. The straps are awful not horribly awful but they hurt when I am loaded down which isn’t much like my laptop, 2 phones, belt bag, and a planner. They are leather so they seem like they will hold up great but they just hurt. 2. The pockets inside for your water bottles would be nice if it had a slit for the water bottles with handles. I basically have to just sit my water bottle in the center without being in the sleeve. And the sleeve doesn’t go to the bottom of bag which seems odd and unstable. Other than those I LOVE the tote!!!"
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.
