Is the Perry T Monogram Tote big enough for a laptop?

Yes. It has a dedicated laptop/tablet compartment and stands about 11.75 inches tall, so most 13- to 14-inch laptops fit. Check your device's dimensions against the bag's interior before buying.

Does it have a zipper closure?

It has both a zip-top and a press-stud closure. The zip secures the main compartment; the press stud helps hold the top together when the zip is open.

Can the shoulder strap be removed?

Yes. The shoulder strap is detachable, so you can carry it by the top handles or over the shoulder. The handle drop is about 11.75 inches.

How heavy is it empty?

It weighs about 25 oz empty, which is heavy for a canvas tote. Factor that in if you already carry a laptop and a full daily kit.

How do I clean the canvas and suede trim?

Spot-clean the canvas with a damp cloth and mild soap, and keep the suede dry. Avoid machine washing, which can distort the structure and damage the leather trim.

Is it a good work bag?

It works well as a structured work tote thanks to the laptop compartment and zip top. The trade-offs are weight and the care the light canvas and suede require.
