Shrinking violets need not apply. This glam Carlos Falchi shopping tote demands to be noticed.
The metallic snake-print exterior is something you’ll either love or loathe. Personally it’s a little too brassy for my tastes, but it’d be a great statement piece if you’ve got the confidence! Just make sure to pair it with neutrals so the bag can really shine.
The look might not have won me over, but I can’t help admiring this shopping tote’s functionality. It’s made of lightweight microfiber, making it perfect for a marathon session at the mall. But beware of loading up this tote too much. Those thin dual straps don’t look too kind on shoulders.
The interior is made for organization with all kinds of clever features. There are two pouches, one for a cell phone and the other for your iPod, plus a handy pen holder. The tote also comes complete with a coordinated cosmetics purse. The large purple “Falchi” script on this make-up case looks a little tacky, but it is nice to have somewhere to stash your compact and lipstick.
The Carlos Falchi Shopping Tote isn’t to everyone’s tastes, but at $220 retail it’s one of the designer’s most affordable purses. That makes it a steal for those who can embrace its design quirks.
