BUG Lightweight Women Laptop Tote Bag for Work, Casual Handbag for Travel Beach College Teacher

I have been looking and looking for the best dupe for the Longchamps LePliage bag for travel. I wanted the Longchamps look and "french girl chic", but with a few functional upgrades. This bag has exactly what I am looking for, AND for a crazy cheap price. I want a luggage trolley strap, and a cross-body strap. Non-negotiable. If this bag is packed full, I do not want to have to carry it only by the shoulder handles. Those are two features that the original La Pliage does not have, which is why I could not bring myself to pay so much for a bag that won't function how I need it to. This Bug bag is surprisingly well constructed. The fabric is quite robust and the stitching looks up to the task. I like that the interior is a light color, white with pale blue stripes, another frenchie touch that looks cute and elevates the style. The handles are plenty long to carry over the shoulder. Almost too long, for me at 5'4" but they work. The size of the bag is just right to be a real tote bag, that you could put shopping purchases into or stash a sweater and water bottles when out and about Paris. Some bags are too small to haul, but too voluminous for just a day around town. This one hits the sweet spot, size-wise. I also like that there are enough organizational pockets that make the bag functional as a work bag or huge purse, and that the padded laptop sleeve is off to one side and doesn't divide the interior of the bag in half. Although I have not used it as such yet, I believe it would have no problem going under an airplane seat. I gave it a good spray with camp dry waterproofer before my trip to keep it dry and clean. C'est parfait!

Loving the usefulness of this travel bag! It fits on the handle of my suitcase, the material is sturdy and easy to clean, capacity is excellent, holds my computer along with space for a set of clothes, and other items for carry-on. Wish I would have gotten this much sooner!

Gorgeous bag. Well made. Styling.

I adore this bag! It has the perfect aesthetic and functionality for an everyday bag that I can take to work and everywhere else. Plenty of room to throw in a few diapers when I’m not at work and plenty of space for books and planners when I am going to work. Love the organization. The bag is also super light! Unfortunately the straps started falling apart within two months of use. I’m still using the bag because I like it that much, but I really wish the straps were more durable. I’d be willing to pay twice as much for this bag if the straps wouldn’t fall apart!

I chose this one because rain won’t damage it. I carry it everywhere and keep it in my car. It holds my scarves, mittens, hats, etc. water bottle. It’s perfect for my needs. The value for the cost is great.

Holds so much, looks very nice and the interior has plenty of pockets and dividers. Use it daily as a laptop bag and I’m pleased with it.

I needed a bag that could support my mobile office lifestyle. I was in search of a lightweight, but supportive (large capacity) bag that can hold a laptop, legal pads, plenty of files/paper, some basic supplies, and some personal belongings. This bag does it all. Flexible structure, but not sloppy nor too slouchy. Letter and legal size documents fit well and there’s still enough room to fit my usual Tervis cups on the side. The laptop pouch is wide, but doesn’t cut into the storage space of the bag itself too much. The strap is outstanding. Nice padded area right where it hits the shoulder. I appreciate that the clasps swivel, so you won’t have the issue of the strap turning sideways or being ill-fitting. The fabric of the bag is nylon, but it’s not “chintzy” whatsoever. It’ll be easy to clean. The interior pattern of a light grey stripe is just enough. Not too busy. The bag has one interior (quite large) zipper pouch inside (opposite side of laptop pouch) and one zipper pouch on the outside. Lastly, I also appreciate the available pocket-opening to slide bag this onto a luggage rack. Excellent bag at a very reasonable price. Ordered it just yesterday evening, received it this afternoon. Overall, I’m very pleased.

I really want to love this bag, I bought it for work and travel. The bag itself holds up great, it fits everything I need including a 15 inch laptop, notebook, wallet, etc. I kind of wish there was an interior pocket or divider but it’s not a huge deal. The handles on the other hand, terrible. I’ve had the bag since September, but the handles are completely falling apparently. The “leather” comes off in strips, there are strings hanging off of them. Not good. I take it to work 2-3x a week and have taken it on 4 trips but I had higher hopes of the quality.

I would have bought another one, were it not for the price. Very good laptop bag

Very happy with this bag. Used it as my carry on Bag. Size was perfect and being able to hang it onto the handle of my suitcase made it very easy to move about with 2 items.. I brought back some frozen fruits and no wet felt on the outside. I definitely would buy again.

Used it as my “personal item” alongside my carry on luggage last time I travelled by plane. Then used as my beach tote once I arrived at my destination. Versatile!

The only thing missing from this bag is an interior pocket for a water bottle or insulated cup.

says its 16" accross - more like 15.25". barely fits my laptop.
