Dagne Dover | (Small) Allyn Tote: Unboxing and Initial Review

[@0207khenry]

That’s the small?!! Wow it’s pretty spacious. It’s so pretty.

[@LacieDRoss]

Yes, it is-can you believe it?! Great-sized tote. I’d say if you wanted to pack what I showed in the video plus a little more, like your lunch, get the medium; what I showed, plus lunch, plus a change of clothes, get the large. Hope this helped! And thank you for the compliment ☺️. Feel free to use my discount link if you decide to give Dagne Dover a try.

Decided to buy the small in black yesterday. I'm excited and can't wait to get it. Your review helped me make my mind up.

[@LacieDRoss]

Good on you! It’s such a functional bag, and depending on your needs, the available sizes are perfect. I am pleased to hear that my video helped you make your decision ☺️. Thank you for the comment!

[@Amanda-jr2gs]

Such a pretty color! Trying to debate between small and medium

[@LacieDRoss]

Thank you! I agree ☺️. I’d say the size choice really depends on how much you are planning to put in the bag and how often you are planning to use the bag. I use mine pretty infrequently for work-related trainings, meetings, or times when I want to work on something that requires my iPad, documents, planner/book, and purse contents. Anything more than that would probably require a an upsize to a medium. Check out Dagne’s “Why We Love It” section on each size of the Allyn tote to get a better idea of which size offering will best meet your needs. Thank you for the comment!

What size is your notebook? Do you think the 12.9 inch iPad would fit?

[@LacieDRoss]

Hi there! Thank you for watching my video and for commenting with a question! The notebook computer was 10 inches, but I have had someone ask the same question before in the comments. I do not have access to a 12.9 inch iPad, but there is a video review that I’ve watched where the girl fits a 12.9 inch iPad in the fold directly in front of the zippered tech pocket/sleeve in a Dagne Dover Small Allyn Tote. Here is the link to the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2TZn6R9fNaaeMU Thank you again, and please use my discount link if you’d like to make a purchase!

Hi 👋 great review! Do you still liking the bag? I’m thinking buy it to use it as a diaper bag for my 2 year old girl!!

[@LacieDRoss]

Hi! Thank you for the feedback! I love this bag, but I switched to a Dagne Dover small Landon Carryall for my everyday work and errands. The Allyn tote is such a fine, expensive bag that I never wanted to take it with me for those things for fear of wear and tear. I would suggest Dagne Dover’s Wade Diaper Tote for for your diapering needs-they provide all the functionality of a diaper bag with the added chic look. Good luck! Feel free to use my discount code.

Nice review do you know if they make an extra small as the small for me is a little to big?

[@LacieDRoss]

Hi there! Dagne Dover does NOT currently offer the Allyn tote in an extra small size; HOWEVER, they do offer a couple of other totes in an extra smal sizel--the Signature Tote and the Landon Carryall. Here is a link to their totes page: www.dagnedover.com/collections/tote-bags. Make sure to scroll through the color options to see the size offerings.

Love the way you demonstrate how a full bag looks with straps on!! BTW what's the dimention or the model of your laptop?

[@LacieDRoss]

Hi, and thank you for the positive feedback! My laptop is an Acer Aspire Switch 10, and it is 10 inches. So it is comparable to an iPad in size. Hope that helps!

[@melissagill7830]

Great video! And such a pretty color. I was wondering if you could tell me whether your Erin Condren would fit in the laptop sleeve?

[@LacieDRoss]

Hi! Aw, thank you! I agree--I am a fan of this color. Yes, you can fit an Erin Condren Life Planner into the laptop sleeve, coil-side or tab-side down unzipped, BUT zipped, coil-side down only with an easy zip closure and a slight wiggle to gently unzip around the tabs. Hope this helps! Thank you for the comment.

[@melissagill7830]

@@LacieDRoss sounds perfect for what I'm looking for! I've been debating between the small and medium for a while. This bag is definitely an investment bag, so I didn't want to get one too small/too big for what I need. Thank you so much!

[@LacieDRoss]

@@melissagill7830 Yes, exactly--it is an investment bag but so worth it. Check the sale section on the website for bags at a great discount.

[@MynameisRaganURL]

Hi there! I’ve been seriously thinking about buying this bag but I’m worried my iPad won’t fit. Can you tell me which iPad you have? So I can look up the measurements and compare? Thanks!

[@LacieDRoss]

Hi, and thanks for the comment! If you need a bag to do business for you, this is the one! I had a 10 inch Acer Switch at the time, but I have an 11 inch iPad Pro now with the Magic Keybaord attached, and it fits easily into the zippered laptop sleeve in my Small Allyn Tote-unzipped and zipped. What size iPad do you have? Let me know if you have any other questions.

[@mariathexyz]

Thank you for showing us how it looks on the body! Looks too big for an everyday bag for me :) Ty

[@LacieDRoss]

Sure! And thank you for your comment. If you have an office job and have multiple things to tote, this is a great bag! But for quick errands, I like to use the Dagne Dover Mara.

[@stephanieann4632]

Love my Small Allyn Tote! Amazing quality and so many great features!

[@LacieDRoss]

I agree! My only drawback has been that it might be too nice of a bag for daily to-do’s, such as going to the grocery store. That leather is to fancy to soil or tear on a grocery cart! What do you think?

[@suteenoottangsathitkulchai5965]

Hi! Thank you for your lovely review. Just wondering if this one would fit a 13inch laptop if the clasp is open? I am small and I think a medium would be too big for me, but I need a bag that would fit my laptop! Thanks. :)

[@LacieDRoss]

Hi, and thank you so much for watching the review! I’m glad that you enjoyed it. I do not have a 13 inch laptop, but if I can get a hold of one to try, I’ll do so and let you know! BUT, not having tried, I think that the medium would better fit a 13 inch laptop, and that the large would best fit a 15 inch laptop.

@@LacieDRoss Thank you! I will use it once I figure this out haha. May I ask how big is your Acer laptop in the video?

[@LacieDRoss]

@@suteenoottangsathitkulchai5965 Sure! It was a 10 inch Acer Aspire Switch 10. My current iPad Pro that is 11 inches fits easily as well, unzipped or zipped.

[@LacieDRoss]

​@@suteenoottangsathitkulchai5965 I did some research and watched a video where a girl fits a 12.9 inch laptop into a small Allyn in the fold directly in front of the zippered tech pocket, as I did with the file folder in my video.

Oh my gosh!! I am so obsessed!! Do you still own this bag?? I would love to buy it from you!!!

[@LacieDRoss]

Hahaaa! I get it! Yes, I still own my small Allyn tote, but, unfortunately, it is not for sale. HOWEVER, fortunately for you, the Allyn tote is on sale this weekend at dagnedover.com in other shades and all sizes! The sale is for 25% off, which is better than my 10% discount link. Thank you and good luck!

[@CherryTheLatina]

What wallet was that pink wallet?? Great video by the way!

[@LacieDRoss]

Hi! It’s Dagne Dover’s Slim Wallet in the color Wildflower, which is sadly gone for good. BUT they still carry the wallet in other colors, and the fall/winter collection just launched on Wednesday-new colors! Thank you for the feedback. Glad you liked ☺️.

[@sadakodavis9916]

What color is your bag?

[@LacieDRoss]

Hi! This small Allyn tote is in the Sea Mist color, which was a seasonal color and no longer available; however, there are 2 similar shades available now at Dagne Dover called Moon Mist and Sage. I have a 10% off link featured above if you decide to get something. Good luck!

[@Nemacollective]

Hi! What is this color??

[@LacieDRoss]
