Twelfth St Cynthia Vincent Cove Tote

Twelfth St Cynthia Vincent Cove ToteCynthia Vincent gets us ready for summer with this Cove tote from her Twelfth St. line.

Its classic style is updated with a colourful Ikat pattern. Ikat designs were traditionally dyed, but the digital print makes more sense in a contemporary climate. Digital prints use less water and dyes than regular coloring methods, so they’re kinder on the planet. The canvas material is another sustainable choice.

It’s a little surprising then to see Cynthia Vincent add leather handles and trim. The details dress up the design, but they also undermine its green credentials. Choosing a vegan leather or even leather offcuts would have been more sustainable options.

Eco concerns aside, the Cove is a pretty practical tote. It’s too large to work as an everyday bag, but it’s perfect for a day at the beach or a trip to the farmers’ market. Its interior is also surprisingly well appointed with a zippered pocket and pair of patch pouches. A tote so large could stand to have more substantial shoulder straps, but they should be strong enough to hold.

I always hesitate to spend more than $100 on a fabric tote, and at $225 this one’s much pricier than that. However it’s so large that perhaps it’s worth the splurge!
