Lily 2.0 Bag

J'aime beaucoup, je m'en sers pour le travail et c'est parfait pour mon ordi et dossiers

I had a previous Lily bag that I really liked and I was excited to see that a trolley sleeve had been added for the 2.0 version, as that had been a key missing feature for me. Unfortunately, a standard laptop doesn't easily fit in the 2.0 laptop sleeve, so I don't think I will be able to use for work as planned. The side water bottle pockets are also too shallow to keep a standard water bottle secure. I believe it's too late for me to be able to return the bag.

I purchased this thinking-it was a perfect work bag- padded laptop sleeve and separate section for shoes. The padded laptop is basically the size of an iPad -11” long! ( standard laptops 13”).

I absolutely ADORE this tote. I am a student/employee/gym-lover and constantly have so. many. things. This is truly the perfect tote. I love how it is comfortable, I can use it as a backpack OR a tote (which is great for being on the metro in mtl!). I adore the bottom section which is perfect for my gym things so they are separate from my school/work things. I love how the bag is horizontal, not vertical, so everything is easily accessible. I love the functionality of the pouch inside for my pens, and the many many pockets!

I have two functionality comments I'd like to see in a Lily tote 3.0:
1) the snap buttons on the front pouch and middle pouch with the key connection are super weak and pop open very easily. This is minorly concerning because my keys are on that chain, and I don't want people to be easily able to access them. I've solved this by shoving my keys far down, but those magnet snaps should be much more secure!
2) I will reiterate what another reviewer left -- the water bottle side pouches are very small. They barely hold bottles, but if they do, they actually dig into the space of the backpack. So you can't have a full backpack + a waterbottle without squishing something. I've solved this by putting my bottles inside the bag instead of outside it, but I would love to see a mesh/elastic/something larger with a drawtie on the outside that enables me to hold 2 bottles (one for my coffee and one for my water).

Overall, this is a women's dream bag. I am delighted to own one and use it every day. I love the functionality, the materials, the fact it is waterproof, and the fact I can hold so many things. Two fixes and this would literally be perfect.

La poche du dessous rend le sac peu profond et donc peu de place. Les poches de côté sont également beaucoup moins profondes et sans fermeture donc tout peut sortir au moindre impact. Les boutons pour fermer les poches de devant sont complètement inutiles, ils ne tiennent pas du tout. J’apprécie cependant l’option sac à dos et tote bag
