OnTheGo Tote (OTG) Club

[onlyk]

Hi all! I read every post in this thread before buying the OTG loved to read all of your experiences and see all the pictures. So after visiting the store 3 times I bought the OTG GM in monogram because it fits my laptop and I planned on using this bag as an office bag. I totally love it, it's so gorgeous, but I also feel a bit hesistant to actually bring it to work. I have some mixed feeling about people thinking it's absurd to bring such an expensive bag and I'm scared it might be stolen (but I can place it in a locker).

How do you feel/what are your experiences about bringing your OTG to work?

Depends on the type of work environment, this kind of logo bag may not be suitable for work.

I have the GM too, love it and I use it all the time and I'm the boss of where I work

The brown monogram OTG is the subtlest of all OTGs in my opinion. I would say it’s ok and it’s practical too

Thanks for your input! I also tried the black leather one and found that one more subtle. But really fell in love with this giant monogram canvas.

Being the boss has its perks I work in IT, almost all of my colleagues are men who are not interested in fashion, so maybe I should not overthink so much

I think you are right, just enjoy, life is short

I feel you as I am also the only woman in our team. I wear what makes me happy and don't mind what others think. Congratulations on your purchase! Being the basics/neutral color girl that I am, I also lean towards the giant mono and black leather. I have yet to bite the bullet but the giant mono tops my list.

I have the crafty onthego GM (which is so wild in orange and black!!) BUT work in tech — flirting with the idea of taking it in.

I say go for it if the bag works for your work needs and brings you joy to carry! We all need something that makes us smile during the workday

I wonder what the quality is on the newest version of OTG. for those who have had OTG for quite a while, how are yours holding up?

Hi! I am also 5’0 tall and I purchased the OTG MM empreinte in turtledove today. I tried it on in store and I felt like it will be the perfect mommy bag! That is the reason I purchased it, diapers, wipes and still fit my things too! It is definitely heavier compared to my neverfull MM though. Good luck making your decision!

Also looking to use mine as a mommy bag — Have you considered the ToteSavvy insert or another brand? I have a Samorga but thinking maybe something with more pockets and wipe able would be useful?

What??!!! That’s so unfortunate…I would be so mad.

My Crafty OTG doesn’t seem to have that double fabric lining like the monogram ones do… I have had no issues with wavy canvas/crumpling, etc.

the quality of LV bags has deteriorated lately. I have not had any issue with my recent purchases and I'm hoping I do not encounter any in the future. I truly like the OTG but this is making me think twice

I hope yours stay intact and issue free.

Can anyone share their thoughts on the empriente gm otg after having had it for a while? I have thé jungle one from a few years ago and love it. It’s canvas. I’m thinking of adding thé noir empriente gm version but am wondering how it holds up over time.

My store had the MM and GM canvas in stock. The GM had nice alignment and good stitching. But, the MM had very wonky stitching. Stitches by the handle were uneven, loose and one had popped. Too bad because I really wanted the MM size.

I second this. I love the looks new but I keep seeing them used and they look very slouchy Even with an organizer… I wonder…

Such a shame as this is a such a beautiful bag. Did you end up purchasing the GM?

No. GM was way too big for me.
