Our take on the Primark Large Tote Bag

The Primark Large Tote Bag is a budget faux-leather tote in black, sized 18.5 by 12 by 5 inches with double handles and a zip closure. It is a simple, matte-finish carry-all aimed at casual, travel and party use rather than a structured work bag. Primark sells it in stores at a low fast-fashion price, so it sits at the bottom of the tote market and is a cheap way to add a large black bag.

Pros

Large 18.5 x 12 x 5 inch capacity

Questions and answers

Is the Primark Large Tote Bag worth it?: At Primark's low price it is a reasonable throwaway tote for light daily use or travel. Do not expect it to last like a leather bag.
Does it fit a laptop?: The 18.5 by 12 inch body fits most 13 to 15 inch laptops, but there is no padding or sleeve. Carry a separate laptop case for protection.
Does it have a zip closure?: Yes. It has a zip top, which is unusual at this price and helps keep items in during travel.
What is it made of?: Faux leather with a black lining and faux-leather double handles. Wipe it clean rather than machine washing.
How does it compare with a canvas tote?: Canvas totes are usually more durable and washable. This one looks dressier and has a zip, but the faux leather is less hard-wearing.
When is it cheapest?: Primark runs low prices year-round and marks down end-of-season stock. Check in store during sales for the lowest price.
