I talked quite a bit on the Travel Chat thread about the two pieces of Lori Greiner's line that I purchased sometime back, but just got a chance to use this past week. Here is my review.
I purchased her Weekender bag (H201762) in leopard and also got, thanks to @gacat123, the "as is" of the matching travel tote with 4 organizers (H209188), which must have been a display model, because there wasn't a scratch on it, and the 4 organizers inside were still sealed in their plastic pouches.
I flew to Palm Beach, Florida, for a conference, and the plane was a 737. The overhead bins are not huge, but big enough to get her bag up into it. Although she says it fits easily in most planes, I find that the square configuration of her Weekender bag can make it a little harder to put in the 737. Any plane larger than that is no problem at all. My older rectangular shaped carry-on is not as thick and lays down flatter, so it would not have caused concern if I had taken it.
That being said, the bag held everything I wanted for the time I was gone. I particularly like how the toiletries bag snaps easily in and out of the bag. I purposely left it hooked to the bag itself and easily rolled the entire bag into the bathroom. I wanted to see how I liked using it that way, since many places I go to overseas have only a pedestal sink and not a lot of room to lay articles out on a counter. And, of course, I can unsnap it out of the bag and hang it on a doorknob.
For those of us who love Lug bags, but hate that some do not have a way to lock the bag for safety once we leave the room, Lori's has zipper tabs that accommodate a lock.
There are a lot of pockets and organization to the bag; however, the outside pouches on both sides can make you bump into things if you are rolling the bag behind you instead of using the 360 wheels and having it glide alongside you. I'm used to pulling the bag behind me, and feel I will have to change the way I use it so I don't keep hitting the sides of people's legs while I try to pass them.
I was able to get all the clothes I wanted into the bag, but you should be aware that if you fill the snap-in toiletries organizer too full, you may not get as many clothes inside that you wanted to take. The toiletry bag must have room to lay across the top of your clothes.
Also, I note that when Lori demonstrates how much you can get in the bag, when it comes to shoes, she pulls out a few pairs of sandals or flats, perhaps very short heels. I needed to get a pair of regular covered shoes and tennis shoes in the bag. Those take up way more room than the thin sandals she shows. And the T's and other tops she shows (I think she said 8 of them) are much thinner than anything I wanted to pack.
As to the Travel Tote w/4 Organizers, it was excellent. In fact, I didn't need the 4 organizers at all, because the Weekender had enough sections to fill. The tote was a great matching companion and I looked pretty spiffy in the airport with my leopard bag and tote! ha! In fact, for those of you who have been to the Eau Palm Beach Resort and Spa, you know that it is a high end place. Glad the room and food were paid for and I didn't have to shell out the money for the stay. So I looked pretty cool walking into that place with my leopard bags.
I put my Dooney and Bourke in the tote for use once I arrived at the conference; the tote is large enough to accommodate that. Plus the tote carried my iPad and various other items that I wanted quick access to. In fact, I took magazines from home that I hadn't had time to read yet. The tote was large enough for me to include eight magazines with the D&B bag, etc. And I could zip it up easily.
As this was a test run for possible use on my six-week trip this summer, I feel confident that I will use the weekender. I'm not sure about the tote, because I think all I need is the new Lug KickFlip2 (F12618) that @gacat123 forced me to buy! 
Plus I have the Lug Can Can (F12216), both of which will be great while traveling.
Hope this was helpful for anyone considering these items. 
Were I to do it again, I might not get the leopard. It is classy looking, but except for using it at the Palm Beach place, it's color design makes it a bit more "out in your face" than I like to be when I travel. Low key is the way I like to go. Not showy. Had I given it more thought, I would probably have gone with the black.....dull, not so showy.
I just received H213305 - 'as is' in blue. It was BRAND NEW! I examined it closely as it ended up being a 'backorder' a day or two after the order was placed. I didn't have high hopes 
- but there wasn't even one mark on the wheels. And even the clear sticker was over the logo plate! I was so pleased!!!
