Customer Reviews Briggs & Riley Sympatico - Shopping Tote

Great quality. Holds a lot. Comfortable on shoulder. Fits well over handle of B&R suitcase as well as other brands.

I have a slightly older version of this bag (the padded electronic sleeve fits a full-sized laptop on my bag). It has held up extremely well for years and is the perfect travel companion for both work and pleasure.

This bag is pretty and stylish and the size was exactly what I wanted but I didn't love it. The leather handles are very stiff and kept sliding off my shoulders and when empty it should have folded flat but very bulky. My plan was to use it as a carry on and then keep it in a suitcase while I traveled but it took up too much space. Sadly Im sending it back. Could have used it as a purse except its too big for me for everyday.

I have the B&R Torq luggage, which has no tote bag. I tried the Simpatico which barely fit over the handle, and had a dark interior and no structure. The inside pockets didn't work for me either. The straps would not stay on my shoulder.
