Is the Estelle tote big enough for a laptop?

At about 14.5 inches wide and 3.5 inches deep it can hold a slim 13-inch laptop, but the soft faux-suede body gives little padding or structure. It is better suited to a tablet, a book and daily essentials.

How does faux suede hold up in rain?

Faux suede is not water-resistant. Light drizzle may be fine, but a soaking can leave water marks and soften the material, so it is best kept for dry days or treated with a suede protector.

Does the magnetic lock keep the bag closed securely?

The magnetic lock holds the top together for everyday carrying, but it is not a full closure. Small items can spill if the bag tips over, so keep valuables in an inner pouch.

Is this tote structured enough for an office?

It is an unstructured, slouchy tote, so it looks casual rather than formal. It works for relaxed offices, but a structured leather or canvas tote holds its shape better for meetings.

How do I clean a faux-suede tote?

Brush off dry dirt with a soft brush and spot-clean marks with a damp cloth and mild soap, then let it air dry away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing, which can ruin the texture.
