I'm trying to decide if I should get the mini tote or the 13" one. Do u mind taking some pix? Maybe a modeling pic? My laptop is 14" so it may not fit the 13" bag but I don't really mind that. I think the 15" bag would look too big on me. I'm pretty short.

The 15" is big. I'm 5 feet tall and the bag was overwhelming on me. You can probably still fit the laptop in the 13 inch, just not in the padded section. I will absolutely take some pictures this weekend and post them for you.

Thanks for posting those mod shots. I'm trying to choose a size too - leaning toward the 15" for work and a Mini for a regular purse on weekends or whatever...

I read that those bags are made in Vietnam and it is unclear the source of the manufacturing .. I am a little scared when brands don't disclose these things

I read an interview with the owners of the company where they talked about how the working conditions in their factory were quite good. You can read it here: http://ecocult.com/2014/dagne-and-d...g-production-to-asia-they-can-explain-really/

I actually bought and returned the 13" tote. I found the bag to be heavy and stiff. I also didn't like how large and bright all the hardware was, or how the heavy metal zipper teeth scraped my MacBook when I slid it into the dedicated sleeve (the zipper flap sort of droops down and is awkwardly in the way). Overall it seemed sturdy and I know many women love DD, but just wasn't the end all be all I was expecting. I ended up with a Knomo Grosvenor Square tote, which is made of very thick nylon with leather handles and trim. It has just as many dedicated pockets but is much lighter and cheaper with promo codes and sales. I also bought the matching wristlet clutch, which comes with a battery pack to charge your phone! They come with a 2 year warranty and also an ID tracking number like Tumi.

I'm over the moon about this bag. I think another option in the work tote line-up would be the Lo&Sons OMG, which I also tried, but found it to be too padded. Seriously, each panel on that thing is padded like a laptop case would be and thus made the bag too wide to fit comfortably under my arm. It was really well made though! Sorry this turned into a novel!

Seriously, every layer fully padded? That seems so strange....
