Let me preface this by stating that this picture is stunning. Casual, dressy, so well put together, effortless, timeless, oh my god–gorgeous. Captured on the streets of Milan, the white outfit is a great contrast to the warm colors of the buildings, and the bright blue tote is a great contrast to the blank white canvas of the outfit.
Ok, we love the look, the versatility of it to take it from day to night and the fact that it looks so comfortable to wear. But. Let’s talk about the tote. There are several things to love and several things to regret. Let’s go with the bad first. Most leather totes are heavy to begin with, without every lipstick, wallet, hand sanitizer and tissues known to man. They can be awkward–do I carry them with my arm, over my shoulder, across my body, or do I simply grip the handles?
The good? They hold everything–laptops, shoes, desserts, you name it, totes can carry it. The flexibility–you can carry it, put it on your shoulder, carry it in the crook of your arm, etc. The security–most have little zippered pockets to keep things extra safe. Some are waterproof, and hey, they can be heavy, so does that mean we can skip lifting weights at the gym?
Aside from this being a great Céline luggage tote, in a great blue for all seasons (I’m biased), totes have great versatility and a great opportunity to be the bag for most all occasions. Stay tuned for a run-down on mini bags, the good, the bad, and the bag.
