Review after using this bag for >1 year 🎒

Hi 🍋8️⃣

I bought this bag early last year (2023) and have used it for more than a year now. Here are my thoughts on it!

Gaston Luga Tåte 2-in-1 Bag ~SGD200+

I got the one in cloud cream colour

👜 Why I bought this bag:

I wanted to find the perfect work bag that I can style differently based on where I am going that day. For example, a long daily commute to office I prefer a backpack so it is less straining for that shoulder carrying a tote. But occasionally when I go to an external facing event, I prefer a tote for a more professional look. The switching between backpack and tote 🎒🔁👜 for me was perfect as I can be carrying backpack style to office in the morning and switch to tote when I have an external facing event in the afternoon

✅ Pros

- Easy switch between backpack and tote

- 100% waterproof!! Got caught in the rain a few times now and Im so glad it doesnt get soaked/damp

- Compartments allow me to find my things easily! In the bag: Padded pocket for your laptop, and small stuff like phones/cardholder. Outer: Zipper pocket at the front and a pocket (no zip) at the back to store the tote strap and I like to put my phone in cause of its easy access

- Sturdy material (which probably explains the con)

- Doesn’t get dirty easily even for my cream coloured bag

❌ Con (only 1)

The bag itself is heavy - 0.9kg!! While there is only one con… this one makes me think twice if I want to switch to the tote style as it can be heavy on one shoulder. Good thing their strap is wide such that it doesn’t cause pressure on the shoulder

📜 Verdict is if you can get past the heaviness of the bag, this is the perfect bag to work! ✨
