At first glance this Stella tote from Ellington looks like so many other patent leather tote’s on the market, but there’s more to this carryall than means the eye.
That’s not to say the exterior is boring. There’s a classic appeal to the rich red patent leather body offset as it is by black leather shoulder straps. The boxy shape might not turn too many heads, but it does make the handbag very user-friendly. There’s a reason why totes have held this shape for years after all.
But its generous dimensions are just the start of the interior’s appeal. The opulent space is divided by two structured panels that snap together on the top edge. Inside the panels you’ll find a handful of smaller pockets and a pen slot. I can imagine all these compartments would make the Stella work well as an office tote, although it wouldn’t look out of place at a more social gathering.
If you’re after flash, you probably won’t want to spend a couple of hundred on this tote. But if you prefer practicality, this could be your bag.
