Jesselli Couture Buco Embroidered Tote | Large Feminine Stitched Carryall Handbag

Posted on: May 1

Tote bags should be functional and practical for everyday use, but who says they can't have some feminine flair? Certainly not Jesselli Couture, who brings us this beautiful Buco Embroidered Tote.

The soft synthetic body is embroidered with a delicate Asian inspired design. In this coral version it reminds me of carefree spring days, while in black it's brooding and sensual for nighttime use. The attention to detail is what really strikes me. The embroidery follows the scalloped top, and swirls out across the back and front.

The high quality synthetic is paired with a leather platform base and two leather shoulder straps. These accents add a little more luxury to the design, although without protective feet on the bottom it might not look so rich for long.

Another disappointment is the open top design. I suppose it makes it simple to reach our cell phone when it rings, but I'd personally prefer security over easy accessibility. A magnetic snap would have helped some without really compromising the tote's user-friendly design.

I've got a couple of concerns, but they aren't enough to turn me off this beautiful tote. If you're looking for head-turning design in an everyday bag, this Buco tote might be for you.
