I took my tall tote on vacation and it held up amazingly. It was stuffed pretty full, especially on the way back. It was in cars, planes, trains, buses, and taxis! The leather even still has that amazing smell. The inside zippered and slip pockets were convenient for my wallet and passport. Compared to other totes in this price range it wins hands down. I am seriously considering ordering a classic tote in ecru.

Gorgeous! I've wanted one of their leather totes (with monogram) for such a long time, but their international shipping puts me off. If I recall properly, it's half the price of the bag (give or take), and then I still need to pay customs/duties. [emoji37]
 
I gave in and ordered the short tote in ecru with my monogram. I wear a lot of ivory so I will get a lot of use out of it. I hope I love it as much as my tall tote in stone! Oh, and I ordered it this afternoon and it has already shipped. Great customer service!
 
I've been searching for an unstructured tote for a few months and was deciding between the LV neverfull and this one. Decided I wanted leather and just ordered the Short tote in Fog. Can't wait to receive it. Thanks to all of you who have posted pics - they ultimately helped me decide.

Did you get yours and what are your thoughts on it?
 
Just curious what everyone's thoughts are on the Cuyana Tote vs the Madewell Transport? They're almost the same price - I love them both and am looking for a simple black tote but wonder which one will hold up better/longer!
 
I'd be really interested to know that too! I've just taken delivery of a Madewell Transport in the Dark Cabernet color. It looks almost identical in structure and fabric to those posted above (but disappointingly did not even come with a dust bag.....). It looks pretty good quality but the handles seem a bit thin to carry much weight, I wonder if they'll stand up to regular use??

I have two Cuyana totes and checked out the Madewell tote in the store. The Cuyana has softer, pebbled leather while the Madewell is stiffer and smoother. Personally I prefer Cuyana and I think the quality is very high. I've taken them on trips packed heavily and shoved under airplane seats and they held up great. I believe Cuyana is slightly less expensive but, to me, looks much more expensive. I am currently coveting the zipped tote in caramel!
