Muska Milano Embossed Tote Bag | Crocodile Look Leather Traditional Handbag

Posted on: Apr 5

If Muska Milano is nothing else, it's consistent. The fashion label creates traditional looking handbags from embossed leather replicating some of our favorite reptilian skins. It's never strayed from this vision with the lizard flap bag and imitation crocodile satchel, and its new tote bag is no different.

If you like the tote's trademark boxy looks, you'll have little to complain about here. But for me there's just not enough going on. The clever embossing does its best to replicate genuine crocodile skin, but it just doesn't have quite the tactile appeal to stand alone.

The exterior is a little snoozeworthy, but there's plenty to get excited about inside. Three massive storage compartments to be precise, plus a zip pocket, a slip pouch, and a cell phone pocket to be precise. With all those options, there's no excuse for clutter!

This Muska Milano tote also gives us plenty of choices when it comes to color. You could play it safe with the brown or burgundy bags, or have some fun with orange, powder blue, or this pretty pink option.

But ultimately the combination of bland design and mere imitation exotic doesn't encourage me to spend $725.
