Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis Tote

This bag is my go to bag. The size is perfect I will recommend it to anyone who wants a nice go to bag. I'm really rocking it

LOVE this bag! Nice color. I have one in a gray/white that I use for everything, but it's getting dirty and worn out. I was happy to see that there are more color options. My next buy will be the all black one.

I love my new bag it is a good size for my laptop and books. I wish the straps were the tiniest bit longer to wear as a backpack but works just fine.

I love the size, fits so much stuff easily . So easy to carry either with the handles or as a backpack and looks super cute . Highly recommend

I got this bag instead of getting a backpack to use for going to work, running errands, and just general city living stuff. I liked the ability to wear it as a backpack for when you need full use of both hands, and I definitely have found that feature useful. It's a very spacious bag and can hold a lot, but I don't understand why they didn't add any internal pockets for small items? It just seems like a huge miss. There is a laptop sleeve, the large main compartment, and a big zipper pocket that spans the full size of the bag but no smaller internal zipper pockets for a phone, wallet, change, or just any small item that you might want to keep inside the bag? There is a very small zipper pocket on the outside that could hold a small wallet but nothing on the inside. The other thing is that because the strap that converts to the backpack is untethered, if you happen to grab only that strap, or if you have the back on your shoulder and are trying to go through it, the entire bag will sink down and depending on what you have in there some of the contents could fall out. I think the backpack convertible is a great feature so maybe if there was some way to lock the buckle so that the bag doesn't collapse? Overall it's well made there's just a couple things that are kind of annoying, and don't seem well thought out.

Bought this in Japan as an extra hand carry. I filled the bag to its full potential and zippers didn't break. Plan to use this for work commute back home.

Nothing negative about this tote. You can bring everything but the kitchen sink.

The bag is very useful and good for commuting in the city.

Love this bag so much, I bought it in another color. I also have it in green. It's big enough to carry my laptop for work or to use as a gym tote. And I love that it can easily switch to a backpack.

Bought it to use as a mom bag. it's very convenient, has a large capacity, and includes two separate compartments.

I use this bag for my workout clothes when I go to the gym. Everything fits nicely!

My wife's new "pocket book". It's bigger than I thought. Too heavy, just use the straps and make it into a backpack! That's a great feature!

Great bag, I have it in 3 different colours, I love it

Love the bag

Perfect for my work bag

I wanted to like this tote. However, the backpack straps cannot be adjusted. I'm small and there was no way to adjust them to fit my size. Otherwise, the features of the tote are useful: outside pockets for a water bottle, inside sections, etc. If you're tall, the backpack straps will be too small. I'm returning this tote.

This was gifted and the individual loved it. Her husband was eyeing it as well.

Very sturdy

Very sturdy and versatile bag. Lots of pockets and a deep main compartment.

Love this tote! It's roomy and cute.

Perfect backpack for work.. good quality.. fast delivery ...

Looove the color and the fact that the logo is embroidered. I wish the backpack straps and the tote handles were separate so that the backpack straps could be adjustable.

Light weight, can be used as tote bag or backpack, zipper on top , great for travel
