Question about LE small tailored tote

[patricksmom]

I just got the LE Large Tailored Tote in the maill last night. I really like it--it has a bunch of pockets and space, but it might even be toooo big. I am not sure if I want to keep it for convenience if I need to pack somethings extra or look into a smaller size.

How much can the LE small tailored tote hold? Which color do you like best? I called around at a few SEARS stores in St. Louis and only one seems to carry LE diaper bags. I will try to check them out at the store but I am not sure if they will carry the small tailored tote.

Hi there,
I'm in MD, and have been scouring my local Sears stores to see a Little Tripper in person, and all I've found in the three stores I've been to has been the Small Tote! I really liked it, and likely would have bought it if the straps were a few inches longer, but it was too short for me to comfortably carry over my shoulder.

After looking at the tags on the shelves at the last one I went to, it looks like that Sears store is only going to be carrying the DIA, the small tote, and the backpack. I've had a very difficult time getting thru to the infants departments on the phone in other stores, so I've kind of given up for now.

I'd LOVE to see the Khaki colored small tote, but all I found was black in the stores. WHY don't they show the bags in all the colors on their site? SIGH!

The Khaki color is really nice I think. IRL it is much lighter color than what appears on the Lands End website. It could get dirtier however, it seems like stuff would be able to wipe right off.

Do you know if the little tote has a changing pad in it? Do you think it is smaller or bigger than the LE LT?

Hi Jessica! I'm curious if you've tried the Columbia Mall Sears. I'm dying to see the Small Tote IRL. I've called and they say they have it, but last time I was there all they had was the Large Tote...so I wonder if I got correct information. Thanks!

HI Sandy,
Actually, that's one I've been meaning to get to but haven't yet. I've tried Marley Station, White Marsh and Westminster, and they all had the small totes. A friend was at Columbia a week or so ago and said she saw Lands End bags, but didn't pay attention to which ones.

Thanks Jessica! I'll probably pack everyone up and go tomorrow. In case anyone wants to know, I'll let you know what they have.

I have the small tote in the khaki/blue and have been using it for several months. I like the colors although it does show every little bit of dirt. I love the light blue lining, makes it easier to see inside. I carry one diaper, travel pack of wipes, disposable changing pad and the plastic bag that comes w/it in one side. The other side I carry a cloth diaper, my wallet, one to two small toys and a small tupperware container w/treats in. There are two mesh pockets in each zippered compartments where I store a disp bib, diaper cream, dr. book/immuz record and my cell phone. There is also a velco area betw. the handles on the one side for keys, pen, tissues, etc. I like the size of the bag but wish the handles were a little longer, it doesn't go over the shoulder very comfortably. Good luck! Patty

Here's the link to my previous post with my review and lots of pictures of the LE Small Tote. I have it in black and really like it. I use it as my bag for quick errands.
