Minkee Blue 2.0 Ella Tote: Best Personal item

In this article, I share an UNBOXING of one of my favorite travel bag brands: MinkeeBlue. MinkeeBlue is a woman-owned (CEO Sherrill Mosee) brand. This bag is perfect!

There's a spot for my laptop, an expandable pocket for a water bottle and umbrella, a customizable “shelf,” lunch box or shoe bag, and a keychain. It's everything I need ready-access to when I'm traveling or in-flight – perfect for a carry-on only traveler! And it looks professional so it can also double as a work purse! Win-win!

Unboxing the Ella Tote 2.0

The Ella Tote 2.0 arrived with a gorgeous yellow wrapping. It comes wrapped here in this case. If you guys have followed this brand, I've actually purchased one of their totes previously, their Parker Tote a few years ago and it was discontinued. I was super excited to hear that they have a new updated tote.

The zipper is buttery smooth compared to the old one. Inside, it has a really nice royal blue color. There is a section for your laptop as well.

Combination Bag:

• Tote Bag
• Laptop Bag
• Lunch Box OR Shoe Bag

This bag is a 3-in-1.

It also comes with a trolley sleeve which is perfect for traveling. Typically, whenever I travel, I am a carry-on only kind of person. This personal item pairs well with my AWAY carry-on.

The Hardware

The hardware that's on the bag is gold. There's also this keychain clip so you can have your keys ready to go. On the back, we've got this zipper for your cell phone or chapstick or boarding pass whatever else you need.

The bag also opens completely. This is very similar to the Parker Tote that I had. You'll find the 2nd compartment the spot to put your lunch box or shoe bag.

The BEST Feature

The coolest feature of the Ella Tote 2.0 is that it has separate partitions. With this, you could put your lunch box in here or your shoes in here but it's actually separated from the rest of the bag.

My Thoughts

I am super super excited about this bag and I'm going to be going on a trip this upcoming week so I'm definitely going to take this bag with me. From the way it looks, it looks really great actually. I'm super stoked about it and I can't wait to share this with you.
