Guess Maddie Tote Bag | Affordable Purse with Croc Details and Braided Straps

Posted on: Feb 4

The Maddie Tote Bag from Guess is a purse for our times with its stylish features and recession busting price tag.

This purple purse is no shrinking violet. Its large rounded shape is accented with croc-embossed stripes and a splash of silver studs. I love the way this purple shade demands attention, but if you want to play it a little safer the Maddie is also available in black and brown.

An oversized handbag needs organizational features to ensure it doesn't become the Bermuda Triangle. Zip and slip pockets inside take care of that, so you'll have no problems retrieving your ringing cell phone or spare change.

The dual handles are a little shorter than I'd like, but their braided finish looks stunning. Sadly the short drop makes over-the-shoulder carrying awkward unless you're a skinny Minnie, which is a shame considering this tote's size.

By crafting the Maddie with imitation calfskin and croc, Guess keeps the cost down just $69.50. At that price you could snare a purple purse for day wear, and a dressier black bag for after five!
