Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Personal Organizer Medium

So glad I ordered this for myself . It has plenty of room . The fabric is durable and looks nice also !!

The Medium size was a little smaller than I liked. Should have ordered the Large size.

This is a gift for my granddaughters upcoming birthday in May. She will be traveling a great deal for the next 12 months and this will come in very handy.

Held a lot of stuff --everything but took up more space than i liked

This bag came highly recommended by a number of friends, but unfortunately this is one big and bulky bag. At first I opted for the "small" size out of concern for the medium's dimensions, but the small is tiny and I replaced it with the medium. Yes, it really does cater for everything, but it's too voluminous for me unless I carry my biggest suitcase (it takes up about 20% of my weekender bag, for example). I wish there was a true medium size slightly bigger than the small, as this one is quite large by most counts. The Sea Holly is a nice bright green FWIW.

I bought this as a Christmas gift for my mother, who is an avid traveler and needed a new toiletry bag. I returned the "Personal Organizer" size medium because the product was not the same color as advertised and was much smaller than I expected therefore it would not have suited the intended purpose.

I felt that the colors were duller and was expecting the colors to be more vibrant. Otherwise ok.

My husband and I have used an older version of this bag for 15-plus years. Although the new one has some appeal, we preferred the design features on the old model, such as firmer fabric and stiffer internal dividers, which make it easier to slide toiletries in and out, and keep them from shifting better, plus sewn in loops to hold toothbrushes upright. Blind pockets on the side did not seem functional (more zips to open) and made the bag less compact and clean in design. Also, the new one has a pouchy internal plastic pocket in the top that robs space from the main compartment. We also prefer the forest green color of our the one, which (thank you LLB) it is still in great shape.

Gave it as a heigh school grad gift to my granddaughter. Medium sized. Looked great but smaller than I would have liked. Wish the large had been available but it was back ordered.

I do love the way that LL Bean keeps designs the same, and I did order this item again after the initial won finally wore out after many years of use. The problem with this item is that it has a hook on the top to use in case you need to hang it rather than just live it next to the seat. Sounds like a good idea, right? Problem is that the hook is really awkward when you put you decide not to use it. It gets hooked on everything, and to "put it away, you need to put it in a zippered pouch. Sounds like a good idea, right? Problem is, I want to use the zippered pouch, but it is useless if there is a hook in it. I don't mind the hook, but I sure which there was a better way to tuck it in rather than take a valuable space. I'll keep this one and just do what I did last time - cut it off!

I've owned two of these, and for the most part, it's a good product. The only reason I have to replace them is because the internal clear plastic(for containing spills) disintegrates long before anything even begins to wear. If this were fixed, it would be a 5/5

The font is too small and does not show up. Wasted money for initails.

This organizer is so-so. Its well constructed as far as the zipper and seams, and the bottom pocket holds items without spilling. But the inside upright pockets are a bit smalltubes get caught in the mesh. The inside horizontal pockets are also a bit tight. The outside side pockets have elastic to hold long skinny items but not very securelyitems slip out when the side pocket is unzipped, so only the small mesh pocket in the side pocket is useful.

I bought one of these a few years ago and I order another last month. It's exactly the same as my old one BUT it's a couple inches small. It may not seem like a couple of inches would matter, but it does if you have cosmetics that are a little taller. I'm disappointed in LL Bean. First, and foremost all their products are "Imported". They make nothing the USA. So not only are they still making huge profits, but now cutting corners on this toiletry bag, has further increased their profits.

I owned a small personal organizer for over 30 years, and have even given it to my daughter since purchasing this medium size organizer. However, I am disappointed in the internal pockets. My older organizer did not have elasticized pockets and it wasuch easier to remove and replace items, specifically hairbrushes. It is somewhat annoying.

Its well stitched, good zippers, but would rather have more mesh pockets than the shower caddy, which i dont need. I bought itto replace a hanging travel bag that had trifolded zipper pockets. The canvas handle is big enough to put over a suitcase handle. I dont think the two side pockets are quite big enough either.

I was pleased with the bag as this is my fourth one however it's the first I've had monogrammed and the letters were way too small

Although the toiletry bag seems like it will be good, the monogram is not what I was hoping for. I am giving this as a gift and wish I'd taken it to a local shop so that I could have approved the size of the monogram. The monogram is too small for the bagit looks odd. I wish LL Bean would consider the size of item being monogrammed and adjust the size accordingly.

I am not that thrilled with this purchase. It is much smaller and not as well made as another I have owned for several years.

Love the bag, but the personalization was way smaller than expected. Actually thought it wasn't even on there at first as it took a minute to even see it. Would not have purchased had I known the outcome.

I have ordered these for each of my children and their spouses over the years and I think the quality is not as good as original ones I have ordered. The padding isn't quite the same but I do like the changes in compartments.

Purchased to replace same item from a few years ago that had some degradation in one of the compartments. New version has too many Velcro inserts and is not sturdy. Older one was more suitable for holding more items in less compartments.

This will do for me until I find something better, but overall I'm a little disappointed. It's a good quality bag, will probably last a long time, but there's not much thought to organization or where standard toiletry items will fit. I have the medium, the main large pocket is shallow, you can't use it for tall items otherwise they tip forward. This could be fixed by bringing the front of this main pocket up an inch higher, which would also increase the size of the pocket in front. The stretchy pockets behind the main pocket are tall but thin, a shampoo bottle won't fit in them. Then the side pockets are short and not very useful. Anything I'd want to store in here is too tall - a toothbrush, comb, hairbrush is too tall. I also don't like that these side pockets unzip all the way - would be much better if they were square bottomed and only unzipped at the top, then they could be larger dump pockets for misc items.

I like the bag but the monogram is so very disappointing. It looks like a miniature on the bag. It isn't what I expected from LLBean at all.

I like this organizer. I had one 15 years ago that I used for the gym ALL THE TIME! Two international moves later, and I had gotten rid of it. I finally settled down again so I decided to buy another one. I love the small size (perfect for small bottles) but now the small size only comes in a few boring (boy) colors! I used to have an awesome purple small bag! Now I had to get the medium to get anything other than red, blue, navy, or black. The medium one is huge (too big for my needs, really). Please bring back the range of colors in the small size! The medium is really for week-long travel, not a weekend getaway or a gym trip!
