The Modal Concept Tote is a fit for anyone who loves their large purses and needs the real estate. From home to work to gym and back, this bag can handle anything. With a 45 lbs weight limit (seriously), you can do dump the kitchen sink and the kitchen in there!
While I’m not a big purse user, I know most of my friends know how to stuff their purse bag silly and then never find anything. What’s great about the Modal Tote are the sheer number of compartments and pockets. From stuffing dirty shoes and gym gear, to keeping your snacks and laptop not smelly, you can get it all in there.
And when it comes to bridal packing, this bag can fits tons of emergency supplies and extra items, you can easily pack it the week before the week and forget about it. Well, don’t forget it at home!
Here’s how we would pack this bag for a wedding as the emergency supply bag. We’re not recommending it as your bridal bag because you need a suitcase to fit all the outfits and accessories, this bag is your “go-to” bag when you forgot something at home. Because you will!
Laptop Storage – Has padded sleeves for both laptop and tablet storage with quilted soft-touch lining. We recommend throwing your iPad and charger in there instead of the full size laptop.
Under purse storage – For your athletic gear and smelly stuff or to store extra shoes (a pair of heels or flats). Throw extra plastic bags in here too.
Thermo Pocket – There is a thermo lined pocket to keep drinks cold, but we suggest using it store snacks. Granola bars, Kind nut bars, candy, whatever you love.
Inside main compartments – Box of bangles, extra makeup kit, box of jewelry.
You can see from the photos that there’s still extra space to put more things, take advantage of it!
The only comment I would make about the bag is that the under bag section, where your shoes fit, should be a little larger. It would be great to hold both a pair of sneakers AND flats, not one or the other, or have them crammed in.
Either way, this tote costs just $59.99 and will keep your brain screwed on when everyone realizes they forgot your bangles or, worse, shoes (!) at home. Get it at Best Buy in store or online.
