Designed in a smaller size, it keeps everything in reach without the extra bulk. It stands up straight, opens wide, and makes finding your essentials easy. It’s the kind of thoughtful that just makes sense.
I purchased the Cascade Compact Tote & the little Cascade Backpack Charm you see hanging on my tote separately and think they look very cute and stylish sitting atop my (very mini) carry on suitcase. I plan to use the tote as my personal item when I fly or take the train. It will easily fit under the seat and is big enough to hold my necessities including my MacNeo Laptop and my iPad Mini plus chargers, and other miscellaneous items. I like the way the bag opens wide enough to see everything in it. And the quality is top notch. I'm actually moving to Portland so the fact that it is designed to be waterproof is an added bonus due to the rainy weather up there! Overall, I'm very pleased with my purchase. I do find the snap for the handles a bit hard to snap shut, but that's not a deal breaker.
Dianne C.5/5Verified
Bought this pretty bag for a carry on on a trip to Philadelphia from Palm Springs. The inside holds enough for 5 days! I love the sleekgrey inside which makes it easy to see what's inside!! A lovey and spacious bag!!
Henry S.4/5
I bought this bag to carry my tablets, organ shoes, extra batteries, and other necessities when I go play music. This bag outperformed all my other bags: it’s well-balanced, and comfortable to carry, even with all that gear. Even better, it looks polished and professional.
Kathleen D.5/5Verified
I had to buy this compact tote because I already have the regular size tote and love it - and could see moments when I'd need a smaller tote with the same quality. I travel with either one, depending on how much stuff I need to take. They're both perfect to use for a work meeting, or as my personal item on a plane, or for an outing when I need more than my purse can handle. Easy to carry, pockets for everything: I can take my laptop in either one, and there's space for my coffee thermos and my water bottle, and pockets for smaller items, plus a keychain on the outside so I can easily get my keys. There's still plenty of room to stash my regular purse, plus a sweater (or a lunchbox in the larger tote). And I love that it can both easily stand on its own, or slide over the handle of a rollaboard.
Victoria C.5/5Verified
This is the everyday tote I was looking for! It is a great size for running weekend errands. It is obviously smaller than the standard-size tote; however, it holds quite a bit. I already have the standard-size totes in Black and Cloud, and would buy another compact-size tote, but it needs to be available in more colors... like Cobalt.
Karen Z.5/5Verified
I loved this compact tote, but I decided I needed the standard size and gifted this one (color cloud) and ordered the standard tote in Forest Green. I now have five Portland products!
Ginger D.5/5Verified
Perfect for everyday use.
Reginald B.5/5Verified
Better than a backpack! Everything is so much more accessible during travel and in the office.
Nicole S.5/5Verified
I have the standard and compact size of the tote, and they’re both really great for flying. What I love about the compact one is that I can put it under the seat and it still leaves room for my feet. Also fits great in the overhead bin if you don’t need instant access to it. I have a computer, a water bottle, three Portland Gear pouches, the Portland Gear tech Kit, the PG travel wallet, and some other little items in it. It’s very efficient.
Sander K.5/5Verified
I have both the compact and larger sized tote. I like both, but find the compact to be perfect for daily use to and from the office.
Mandy R.5/5Verified
So cute with my crossbody bag which fits inside the compact tote. The tote is perfect for daily use, my 14" laptop fits very well, and the inside pockets are roomy. The shoulder straps are very comfortable too. Love this bag!!!
Stacey S.5/5Verified
Thank you for making this tote! It’s the Goldilocks of work bags! The compact backpack is the perfect size, but I like a tote style. But the regular tote was too big! This one is just right.
Olivia W.5/5Verified
This is a great travel bag. I used it as my personal item on a Europe trip and it held everything I needed at my seat. Great quality and stylish. Now I want PG to make the perfect travel pillow....
Selwyn E.5/5Verified
I had a lot of packing to do for a recent art retreat, and I was very impressed at how much I could stash in this tote. It was really helpful in transporting many of the supplies I needed for my classes, and accommodated a wide variety of sizes and shapes. It also served as my under-seat carry on and held flight basics such as phone, ID, ear plugs and hand wipes. I especially like the shoulder strap which allows me to carry it hands-free.
Carol R.5/5Verified
I was looking for a lightweight tote that would fit under the seat but still hold a lot. This tote holds all my personal care stuff, my crossbody purse, tablet, water bottle, snacks, sandals, and some other small things. It makes TSA a breeze because I don't have to dig anything out of my Portland Getaway, which holds enough for 10 days without the personal care stuff. These two items are all I need! I'm 65 years old and prefer to travel light.
Katina H.5/5Verified
The compact tote is nice looking and appears well made; however, it does not open as well as manufacturer’s videos and images imply. The bag came inside a plastic shipping bag and had no support within the bag, i.e. no stuffing for support. I suppose it could have been damaged during shipping. One side doesn’t fully open as easily as the other side. (The hinges, I mean.)
That said, the compact tote is a generous size and a beautiful color.
K K.4/5
Awesome size! Couldn’t decide between the Compact and Standard. The compact size was closer to the bag I wanted to replace. Tho it’s similar in size, it holds so much more. I wanted a bag that had a bottle holder. It easily holds my ipad, 2 glass cases, cord case, phone, water bottle and has plenty of room for other things. Material is durable. Love the strong flip top. Wish it came in leatherette.
Cindi P.5/5Verified
I have take it on 2 trips and it is the perfect, under seat carry-on item. It fits so much stuff and also fits in the handle of my luggage!
Kathleen C.5/5Verified
Another great product.Perfect for your carry on bag when flying. Just the right size.
Jon M.5/5Verified
Pros - holds a lot; fits under the airplane seat comfortably; ability to have it fit over luggage handle is a huge plus; interior color made it easy to find items
Cons - zipper was very hard to use making it difficult to get into; water bottle compartments on the inside was made difficult to get to
Leann S.4/5Verified
I love all my Portlander bags. I have a backpack, purse and several ditty bags. I just bought the bag.
Sometimes I need a bag to carry in place of a backpack ( I have an arm problem). It holds everything I need to fly and I love how it looks.
At 83 I love to look stylish.
Jacqueline B.5/5Verified
Perfect for work. Holds several files, my laptop, water bottle, and a few essentials. Great alternative to a backpack. However if you want to fit more than your typical office materials I would suggest the standard size.
Susan M.5/5Verified
The tote is the perfect size for traveling and complements the backpack for easy carry-on. It is large enough to hold a laptop, toiletries, and in my case, a smaller purse.
Angela P.5/5Verified
I exchanged the bigger one for the smaller one and I absolutely love it! So functional and perfect for a nurse work bag!
Kay R.5/5Verified
Love love the bags. Very light and roomy. Easy to get things in and out. I highly recommend.
I also sent to my kids as gifts and they love them too
Judi S.5/5Verified
Not as big as my previous carry-on (which also sits flat) but happy about the anti-theft features. It's also lighter.
Barbara R.4/5Verified
It is light weight yet roomy and holds everything I need including laptop and fits my vibe as a Portland bag… and I’m 70 years old!
Peggy L.5/5Verified
Matches my back pack and it easy to carry. It’s great!
Susan A.5/5Verified
Just what I needed
Perfect size fit over my suitcase
Smadar K.5/5Verified
Bought this for myself for traveling. However, I use it almost everyday for out of office meetings!
Heather B.5/5Verified
The color is great! The size is perfect if you like to check luggage and then easily attach your carryon once you get your bag from the carousel!
Mary C.5/5Verified
I mostly like this tote. It is sturdy, stands on it own, and open easily. There are lots of pockets and the inside is a nice light color, making it easy to find things. On the downside, the bag is heavy and the shorter straps are very stiff.
Ellen A.4/5Verified
I have been searching for the perfect bag my whole life and this is it. The compact size is just right. Not too big, not too small and it holds everything I need to commute. I love that it’s rigid and waterproof and that it can be an over the shoulder tote or a crossbody. I wish it came in more colors!
Laura N.5/5Verified
Perfect size. Totally waterproof because I already spilled my water in the bag. lol. Lightweight but durable, and I love the green color!
Christina P.5/5Verified
I love the compact size. I used the original one of my last trip and it was a little too big for me. I really love the tote bag and it’s easier for me to carry than a backpack.
Doris J.5/5Verified
First of all Portland Gear is a fabulous company. They went over and above to get my Cascade Tote to me in time for my business trip last week. Via overnight shipping, it arrived just in time! The Tote is a perfect size to hold my laptop and all the stuff I needed to work remotely. It fit great underneath the airplane seat and I received multiple compliments on it while I was traveling. THANK YOU Portland Gear - you have a customer for life!
Denise A.5/5Verified
I purchased this for travel and although I haven’t used it for that yet I can tell it’s going to be perfect. I travel light and this bag fits everything I need to take with me. The one thing I wanted most was something that would stand up and not fall over when I was searching for something inside. The light color inside also helps to find things. I love it!
Gayle M.5/5Verified
This is a perfect-sized bag for daily use and travel. It will be great as a personal item on an upcoming trip!
Selwyn E.5/5Verified
I use it as my regular everyday purse. It’s classy and stylish. It’s one of a kind and keeps me more organized.
Larissa P.5/5Verified
This is the perfect size for travel. I will use it with my carry-on as it is small enough to be allowed as a second piece, but roomy enough for the items that won't fit in my suitcase. I like to travel lightly. This bag will fit under the seat for plane travel.
