Great video, thank you! Just ordered my second medium transport tote (different colors), and would really like to try the biggest one someday. This really gave me a good idea on the size difference.
They’re just amazing bags!! I have the medium transport tote in English saddle and I love it!!! I’m going to get the zip top transport tote next. Your medium has aged very nicely! I like it!!
It all depends on your needs. There is a big size difference between the Madewell Medium and the Love41 Simple. I like them both, but for different things. My fav go to bag is the Love 41 Simple for many reasons. I did a video comparing it to the Large Madewell Transport, so see if you can find that video. I've not seen or touched the Cuyana tote so I can't comment on that one.
I generally prefer an open bag, but with the smaller one you would definitely want a zipper. I guess it's because with the bigger ones your stuff is further down in the bottom and "feels" more secure. Of course if your in a setting where security is essential, a zipper is handy.
Hi Margo! Thanks for the helpful video! What is the width of the zippered opening on the smallest bag? I have a tablet that’s 10 x 7.5 x 0.25” & want to make sure it will fit easily into the opening. Thank you! :)
Margo, what are your thoughts on storing leather bags (especially suede nubuck ones) in silk pillowcases? Cotton is wonderful, but would the natural softness of silk be better?
Lisa, You take care of your bags so much better than I do. I don't store them in anything special. Most of them are hanging or sitting on a shelf in a closet. I like to see them, and any dust bag would hide them :) That said, I don't have any advise on your question about cotton vs silk. Maybe someone else out there does.
@@robojunker Good feedback! It makes me think about my priorities. These are not people! They are just things! I also should consider having mine on display so that I'm more apt to see and use them.
I apply Fiebings to my leather as it dries out, but no special treatment. Rain does not seem to bother these bags, but someone I know carries a plastic bag with her in her's in case it rains.
Thank goodness for this video I’m fully convinced on which Madewell bag I want now!!
I like the small one best. Thanks for the comparison 🌺
Thank you! I couldn't decide which one to get for my anniversary and this video helped me decide for the medium size.
I'm so glad it was helpful, that is what I was hoping for.
Excellent comparison video. Thank you

And your new two-tone tote is great!!
Thanks for sharing. I'm trying to decide between the madewell medium transport tote, love 41 simple tote and cuyana tote...

That was so great!!! I loved every moment of it!!!
Have you seen the leather Madewell camera bag? It’s discontinued so you can only find it on eBay, etc. I think you’d love to carry it as a purse!
I have not seen it, I'll have to go take a look right now. But I am on a leather diet at the moment, LOL
yes, very helpful video! thanks!
Do you prefer the zipped one over the unzipped? I’m undecided 😢😢

@@robojunker thanks for the advice. I’ll definitely purchase the unzipped

I would suggest you check the web site, because the design has changed since I purchased mine.

Did you treat your leather? Does it get ruined in the rain
