Measuring 12.25 inches by 13.75 inches by 11 inches, the best-selling Canvas Medium Transport Tote achieves its one-of-a-kind, vintage charm with its canvas exterior, which is equal parts sturdy and stylish. Wearers have two ways to hold it; option one is using the top handles with a 8.25-inch drop, while option two is carrying it by the adjustable shoulder strap, which comes in handy on busy travel days when you're juggling lots of luggage.

On the outside, you'll also find an oversized front pocket that's perfect for keeping your smartphone, headphones, tickets, hand sanitizer, and other essentials close. For added security, you can store your important personal items and travel documents inside the interior pocket, which is zippered and discreet. The bag's interior has an open design that allows you to pack it with clothes, tech, shoes, and everything else you might need to keep close at hand during your trip, whether it be a week-long vacation (hey, it makes a great personal item on a flight) or a quick weekend road trip.

You can grab the bag in an acorn brown or neutral-friendly green, both with leather straps. And, like any other Madewell bag, shoppers can opt to get the Canvas Medium Transport Tote monogrammed for an additional $10. There are four fonts and 14 colors to choose from with a limit of 10 characters per bag, so you can personalize it with your initials, nickname, child's name, pet's name — the options are endless.

Highlighting its versatility, another shopper noted that they've started clipping their keys and Apple AirPods case to the designated shoulder strap hooks when they're not in use. They also added: "[The] quality is exceptional and the style is great." Similarly, a reviewer called it the "perfect all-purpose bag" and raved, "I still have not found a situation where this bag does not work perfectly!"

Another travel enthusiast noted that it fits "comfortably under the seat'' on airplanes and the "front pocket is excellent for water bottles or magazines to pull out quickly during travel," plus, the interior pocket "is a must for small things, so they don't get lost."
