Ellington’s opted for functionality over flair with this Mia cross-body bag.
While it lacks the fashion forward accents that style conscious women look for, there’s a certain charm to the design. I really like the look of the bright blue nylon against the tan leather accents. The olive alternative is a bit drab for my tastes, but I appreciate Ellington’s offered us two such distinctive looks.
But really the Mia’s beauty is about practicality rather than polish. It has plenty of pockets inside and out, and a well designed interior compartment. This space features large and small slip pockets, a zippered pouch, and a convenient clip for keys. While the canvas strap doesn’t look very luxurious, it’s tough as nails. I also appreciate its adjustability, which allows us to take the Mia from a shoulder bag to a cross-body in an instant.
I thought the splashes of real goat leather might have sent the Mia’s price sky high but it’s still very affordable at $74. It won’t turn a lot of heads, but its clever design should make it a wardrobe staple for years to come.
