Lo & Sons T.T. Laptop Tote Review:

Price and Where to Buy: The T.T. Laptop Tote is available on Lo & Sons’ website for $260.

How the T.T. Laptop Tote Rates:

Usefulness: 10/10. The T.T. laptop tote has all of the essential features a traveler needs, and even some they’ve probably never thought of. It’s made from a water-resistant nylon, has a sleeve to slip over your suitcase handle and save your shoulders, and plenty of pockets. You can easily fit a laptop, Kindle, umbrella, water bottle, and clutch inside here–with room to spare.
Portability: 10/10. The handles are nicely cushioned to make this tote easy to carry even when it’s overloaded, and the suitcase sleeve is a back-saver at the airport.
Durability: 10/10. The water-resistant nylon fabric is easy to clean, and the straps are built to last, no matter how full you’ve stuffed the bag.
Style: 10/10. The slim design looks professional and works in the office and the airport. The lavender-colored printed interior adds a fun pop of color, and the silver or gold accents make the bag look more expensive than it is.

Final Verdict: The T.T. Laptop Tote scores a perfect 10 for style and function.
