This one bag held everything - my travel documents; my wallet; some cosmetics, and my laptop and power cords. All the compartments were useful and it has a lot of zippered compartments which I like. Great style. Very pleased with my purchase.

This bag is unbelivable. The convenience is wonderful, I can have my personal items in the side pockets and my unbrella, computer and even shoes in the center and still put it over a coat. The quality of the material if just the best and I will order the brown and black.

I was hesitant as this is my first review on any HSN Product, however this bag is worth writing about. First of all the quality of the leather, the design and the utility are evident before you even stop and investigate all the added compartments to this article. My sister has a very up scale position and has to travel and teach as part of her work routine, this prize is for her!!!
Barr + Barr please bring more Patent Leather Business Totes in other colors, by all means bring us more Leather Business Totes period!

I received this tote and loved the color, material and all of the organization, but it was way too heavy even before I put anything in it. This bag and two others I have ordered from Barr & Barr would have been keepers for me, but unfortunately due to the weight I could not keep them. Helen's bags are so classy, but heavy bags are an issue with me.

I just got mine in brown and it's really a beautiful latte-and organization & pockets...awesome. This isn't my 1st and sure won't be my last B&B. Got it to lug around my computer-bag's a bit short for comp. even tho measurements were right/top snaps are located a bit too low in middle compartment to close w/comp. but you'd have to pry my cold dead hands off it. So elegant.

I really like this bag,I took it with me to Vegas as a carry on,it's surprisingly roomy. One thing I don't like about the bag is the printed lining,it somehow cheapens the look. I also don't like the way the zippers pucker when closed.

I received the red bag today. It is so beautiful. It is made so well and I can't believe all the compartments. The magnets that hold several of the compartments together are strong, so I don't worry about sagging of those areas.
There are several zippered pockets also. I am very thrilled with this bag....

I was really hoping this would be "the One". The bag is beautiful, wonderfully made, feels great and organization is excellent. I gave it three stars because THE STRAPS DO NOT STAY ON THE SHOULDER! I even tried wearing it turned opposite way and they just would not stay up. I think if the straps were flat or had a 'strap keeper' for it that would work. The other reason is the smell...does not smell like leather like my other high-end bags. Alas, this will be going back.

I took the packaging off, refilled the beautiful red (just the color I wanted)tote with my personal possession and out the door to work. I got to the office, wow, so many co-workers asked "where did I purchase this bag". HSN, of course. Love, Love, this tote. Thanks, HSN.

This is my 3rd Barr Barr handbag and I must say it has EXCEEDED my expectations! I bought it in the red. Gorgeous darker red than the photo. Very flattering color. I have been looking for a red bag like this. Love the organization. The size is perfect, not bulky or too small. Love the feet on the bottom! The zippers are great. All my business files fit in perfectly. Love all the compartments and the magnetic closure on the outside pockets. Thanks Helen for another great bag!

i bought 3 barr+barr bags and love them all....this one is perfect ... files, phone, make-up...even magazines that i want to catch up on...and when everything is neatly packed in my bag and it zips, it is still narrow and tailored in appearance...also, i bought the red and it is a beautiful dark red...not an orange red....LOVE IT ...and so do all my friends.

This is the first item I have ordered from Barr and Barr and I absolutely LOVE IT!!! It is SO perfect to take on work appointments. It is of the HIGHEST quality, with every necessary and imaginable slot for everything(laptop, pens, cell phone, etc). Several compartments, not bulky, comfortable on the shoulder or as handbag. I got the pebble color and it is just beautiful. It looks MUCH more expensive than it is!! I am THRILLED with it!!!!!!!!
