Floral handbags often suit only girly girls or springtime wardrobes. But now Chinese Laundry has created a floral tote that modern stylistas will want to carry all year round.
The secret is the contemporary print. Rather than colorful blooms, this tote features a simple black floral pattern against a white background. The modern print is accented by black trim and shoulder straps. Few pairings are as striking as black and white, although this tote also comes in a more unconventional red and white combo.
PVC isn’t a luxurious option, but it does have a few practical perks. Few white handbags will look this good after a few seasons. While its leather and cotton peers will soon become stained, marks will wipe away from this tote with only a damp cloth. Then there’s the bottom line. By opting for a budget fabric, Chinese Laundry keeps the price down to just $90. And right now it’s on sale at Amazon for nearly half that.
Of course, that bottom line also means we lose a few of the high-end extras. The interior is basic, with not a pocket or dog leash clip to be seen. It offers us plenty of space, but nothing to keep our essentials in order. Be warned: you’ll probably find yourself hunting for your cell phone and keys!
