I would prefer Size Large, Handle Long, Open top!

Like the second, but those seem pricey. If you look at TheKnot you can find similar ones for half the price!

I'd prefer a larger one that could be used for the beach or for weekend trips, as long as it's still small enough for carry on, to be stowed under the seat. Also, a zip top so things don't fall out. Straps probably long.

I like the look of the open top bags, but wish they zipped, you know how they sometimes have a liner inside that zips? But they are all cute.

I would personally like the 3rd one the best. I got a similar tote as a bridesmaids gift but with a zipper, I always stuff the thing so full I never even use the zipper and it just gets in the way.

I like the third!

#2 or #3

I like the third one as well!

3. Long Handles (medium size)

Personally I would like one with a zipper top! I dont have any like that! But def the long handles.

They have some similar designs but almost 1/4 the cost, and personalized

Looks like the majority prefers the LARGE tote with LONG handles. If it were me I think I would prefer a zipper for functionality, but the open top does look a bit nicer and accessible. I agree long handles are a definite!

@Reenski - the large bag customer reviews actually mentioned people using them as a carry-on, which I never thought of!

@Michelle M. - I looked at TheKnot, but I don't think they had zip tops on them. I might go with them if I decide on the open top design.

I'd like a large one (to hold more stuff) with long handles (to carry on my shoulders) with a zippered top (so nothing falls out/gets stolen if bag is left alone say at the beach or something.)

They're all cute, you can't go wrong with any. Totes are always useful no matter the shape or size.

Large, short, zip

I have one of those bags (Lands End version). LOVE it.

#2, with short handles and a zipper top.

FYI, we got mediums from lands end and they're big...the large must be huge.

I've got trips on my mind, Aimee! And now I want a tote bag thanks to you, so thanks for the links and damn you for making me want to spend money!

@Stacy, are they good quality? Can you fit a weekend's worth of trip stuff in a medium?

@Reenski LLC - You say that like it's a bad thing. I'm here to help : ) Oh and you probably saw it's free shipping if you spend $50 (ends tomorrow) and $5 off each bag if you purchase 2 or more. ; )

@Stacy A. - Good to know. The medium is a little more in my price range and seems like it would be better for everyday use. Several reviewers mentioned using the large as a beach bag for a family of 4 (sounds enormous!).
