Not a pack, not a purse, The North Face Calyx SE Tote is the ideal bag when you're out running errands or sightseeing in Istanbul. Magnetic front closures and front and back zip pockets keep your belongs secure and an internal mesh cell pocket keeps your phone accessible.
Cute bag, excellent price
This bag is perfect for travel (if you don't need to carry a ton of stuff)--a zippered compartment can keep your wallet or money safe, and the strap is long enough to wear across your body. It easily has enough room for a camera and water bottle; it's lightweight and sporty but still looks stylish. I looked at many stores and other websites, and Altrec had the best price by far.
Quality item, great price
I also have been eyeing this bag forever. I was looking for a replacement for my leather shoulder bag. TNF Calyx is extremely light-weight, has many pockets, and fits everything I need (and I carry a lot of junk). I could put a small water bottle, book, wallet, and glass case inside and still have room. I'm not crazy about the red-white-black lining, and I thought the top flap would be quilted, but still a great purchase!
Perfect bag
After considering a variety of similar bags, I opted for the North Face Calyx. I've used it on dog walks, at art fairs, major golf tournaments, trips, etc. It is the perfect size, lightweight, has easy to navigate pockets, and stays securely closed. I would highly recommend this for anyone looking for a go-to bag that helps them free up both hands and store most anything one needs to carry.
