We plan on traveling end of September to Europe. On my last trip as some of you may have read my handbag was stolen in Madrid.
So I need a new one and I want it to be demure but functional.
It had to have a center zip and be a tote. (I will pack a small evening bag in my suitcase and also a small Coach I have for handsfree sightseeing. This will be for airports, casual dinners, and times we will be in the car where I can have access to more stuff. lol.
There were two colors of this tote. One is the "new ivory" and the other is a "bay gray". I chose the ivory. I liked the gray on the picture but think it will be much darker in person. (as will the ivory which will be good - I do not care for dark colors)
I have time and so can always return but this is a nice size. About 14" long, depth about 5". handle drop. 10.4"
I would appreciate all the handbag lady experts and opinions on this bag. Oh, the price is $448.00. It get's excellent reviews as well.
Thanks and here's some photo's I looked up.
Here is the "bay gray" - yeah it looks nice on the picture but don't believe it in person. I can also show you the inside of the bag with "bay gray". Ivory the same.
On second thought maybe I should have ordered them both for comparison. ........

Those look like beautiful bags and that they'll be good for travel. I also like a tote for traveling and I have a couple but my favorite one is an Anushka available on HSN.
They are hand painted leather and they are beautiful and functional. They are about half the price but I can see why you like these, they are just a bit out of my price range.
Hope you are happy with it!

Thanks for your input @LindaSal . I too think totes are good for travel. You can whip out that 3 oz bag they allow for toiletries in a flash.
I'll see it and the color when it arrives in a few days.

I did get the Tory Burch tote. It's a very pretty tote including the color (no yellow). I just felt it too open even with the zip top center for my taste and needs. I have returned it.
Here's some pictures of outside and inside:
The search continued and I decided on a bag I've always wanted which is made in Italy. "Mansur Gavriel". He's really known for his totes and for the price of $545.00 being made in Italy is pretty good in my opinion,
I picked a darker beige, a neutral for everything. This is a zippered tote which I'm very happy about and wanted all along. I think it's a bit more elegant as well.
We shall see - here's some pictures - I think the true bag shade will be a touch lighter. It is a saffiano sort of leather which is right up my alley.
Does anyone own a Mansur Gavriel?
PS. On the pictures you can also see the difference in handles between the Tory Burch and Mansur Gavriel. Different quality.
