Ghibli Quilted Orange Tote Bag | Bright Retro Calf Leather and Suede Handbag

Posted on: Aug 14

Fall brings deep burgundies, purples, and blacks out of the closet. If you want to stand out in the crowd, this tangerine colored tote from Ghibli may be just the thing.

This fun mid-sized handbag has a retro style and playful attitude to match its unexpected hue. Quilted suede panels complement the bolder orange calfskin. The curved trapezoidal shape is another fun touch. The only thing that ruins the look is all those messy charms. If you feel the need to advertise the brand, by all means leave them on. But I'd remove them for a much sleeker appearance.

Those short curved handles are in keeping with the retro design, but they're not the most practical features. Thankfully Ghibli recognizes that, so it's added a removable longer strap. It may not give this tote the same cute vintage style, but it makes it a lot easier to manage.

This bag is a vibrant shade, but its burnt undertones stop it from looking too garish. Just imagine how it'd pop against black, charcoal gray, or navy blue.
