Need a diaper bag? Travel tote? Work carry-all? This multi-pocket design has you covered.
There are people who can slip their phone in one pocket and credit cards in another and head out the door. Then there are the parents, frequent flyers, entrepreneurs and students who come with a lot of stuff — toiletries, a change of clothes, toys, snacks, a laptop, a water bottle! Their entire life needs to fit in their bag. Sound familiar? Then you might appreciate Lululemon's new Multi-Pocket Tote Bag 18.5L.
This carry-all tote bag is lightweight, holds a ton of stuff and has a zillion pockets (only a slight exaggeration). Plus, it's available in refreshing Sheer Oak/Sour Grape, making it a perfect spring and summer style choice. Read on to discover why shoppers are calling this tote "perfect" for weekend getaways, work and more.
This spacious tote is lightweight with plenty of compartments, making it a "great all-purpose bag."
The details
Designed for life on the go, this XL tote bag is perfect for parents, jetsetters, students, teachers and anyone else who needs to carry a ton of stuff while staying organized.
It measures at 15.9 x 6.3 x 12.6 inches (or 40.5 x 16 x 32 centimetres) and holds up to 19.5 litres.
Plus, it has plenty of zippered compartments — interior and exterior.
The bag works well for travel thanks to the trolley-compatible sleeve and interior padded pocket that fits a laptop sized up to 16 inches. There's also a detachable zippered pouch that can be used for a passport or wallet.
Made of water-repellent fabric, it's a favourite of parents on the hunt for a diaper bag that can be repurposed once their babe is grown.
Carry it by the handles or across the body with the detachable strap.
For any spills or dirt, opt for spot cleaning. Avoid dry cleaning or putting the bag in the washer or dryer.
What shoppers are saying
⭐️ 4.7/5 stars
💬 20+ reviews
🔎 "There isn't a tote from another brand that outperforms this one."
A hit with reviewers, this bag is "perfect for everyday use." People love that it's “durable and very spacious," fitting "an incredible amount of stuff without feeling bulky."
When it comes to air travel, it "fits easily under the seat" and the "handy front pockets" hold all the essentials — phone, passport, headphones — for easy access.
The thick crossbody strap is "very comfortable even when [the bag] is heavy," though some reviewers say it feels cheap because it's made with "plain vinyl, no padding." The handles are also too short to hook the bag over one shoulder.

That said, the tote is well-loved for its organized interior. One dad says he uses it as a diaper bag and the seven interior pockets (padded laptop slot, four additional slots and two mesh water bottle pockets) can hold two sets of diapers, wipes, creams and a changing pad "with room to spare."
The fact that the zipper on the main compartment doesn't zip fully end to end is "great for access," but it means that it's possible for snow to fall in or, potentially, items to fall out.
The verdict
This spacious tote has a wide variety of uses: diaper bag, travel carry-on, teacher satchel, work bag... the list goes on. Most reviewers agree that it's the best bag they've ever purchased and they would buy it again. However, some people wish the strap was made from a more luxe material and that the short handles could fit over their shoulder.
