Customer Reviews Fjällräven Totepack No.2

Yes, this bag is well made. But I was expecting so much more for the price. Very basic, nice stiff canvas. But lacking in outside pockets, not much for interior organization either. Just a big, deep sack. Very cool how the straps adjust from over-the-shoulder to backpack, but it would have been nice if they were a little wider or a bit padded. No way I could have filled this and carried it for long the way they were. If this were a $50 bag, I would have kept it, but I see nothing that makes it worth the $175 price so back it went.

For the price of this bag, I would expect some more features or more thoughtful design, but this really is a pretty basic canvas tote bag. It does have one outer pocket that runs the width of the bag and one inner hanging pocket, but neither of these have any further organization such as a cell phone pocket or pen slots. The bag is the perfect size for a laptop but there's no pocket or sleeve for one which seems like a real missed opportunity. There's a lanyard for your keys but it's just a loop at the end with no clip to get your keys off and on easily so you'll need a clip or carabiner on your keychain. The canvas is good quality and the leather trim (base and short handles) are nice, if easily scratched. The long canvas handles seem flimsy and poorly finished--they were rippled on the bag that I got. Being able to convert one of the long handles to backpack straps is a good idea but in reality it's awkward to carry the bag that way so it might be a nice option in a pinch but not something you'll want to rely on. That's really the main innovation of the bag and if you aren't going to use it, then this is just a basic canvas tote and not a particularly well-thought-out one at that. You can do a lot better for a fraction of the price.

Recent commercial flight made me realize the popularity of backpacks. While I'm not an outdoor enthusiasts, I wanted something that can be used as a handbag, shopping tote, as well as a travel bag. This fireplace fits the bill perfectly. Heavy duty but still lighter than leather canvas with beautiful leather handles and trim make this not only look good but feel good. It is roomy enough to put multiple packages in but not too big at the same time. Adjustable straps allow use as a shoulder bag as well as backpack. Love it! Special thanks to csr Ryan for his help with this order. Zappo's is the best

Having owned several Fjallraven coats, I knew the fabric/feel of the bag would be wonderful and it is! Love the tote. Love that I can roll this up and take with me to use later. Packs a lot, different ways to carry, durable - a great travel tote!

Definitely pricey but quality canvas and easy conversion from tote to backpack. I am using it as a baby bag. Carries everything! The only down side is the one centralized compartment - I have to be organized when packing or things can disappear to the bottom...
