Is the Society tote big enough for a laptop?

Yes. At about 17.7 inches wide and 11.8 inches tall, the main compartment takes most 13- to 15-inch laptops along with a folder and a pouch.

Does it have a shoulder strap?

No. It is a top-handle tote, carried by hand or on the forearm. There is no crossbody or shoulder strap.

The top is open. There is no zip or flap across the main opening, so small items should go in an interior pocket.

It is Burberry's cotton-blend twill woven in the house check of black, beige and red lines. It is lighter than leather but not waterproof.

It is lighter and more casual, and the check makes it a statement piece. A leather tote resists rain and dirt better and holds its shape longer.

Its size suits under-seat use and it holds a change of clothes and travel documents. The open top means you should keep valuables in a zipped pouch.
