An assortment of studs helps this simple Crossroads tote from Chinese Laundry pop.
The combination of synthetic covered studs and bare metal is interesting. I’m not sure I’m entirely sold on the mix, but it’s a lot fresher than the usual selection of silver accents. Perhaps I’d be more enthusiastic if the studs were arranged a bit better. The sweeping stripes Chinese Laundry’s created don’t really rev me, although that’s a matter of personal taste.
Perhaps Chinese Laundry agrees, because it’s abandoned the decorations altogether on the back. Instead we find a handy zippered pocket, which will sit snugly against your body for even greater security. I’d use it for holding my car keys, as they’d be safe but easily accessible.
The Crossroads is luxuriously large, but its central zip pocket ensures it doesn’t feel unmanageable. It divides the interior into three user-friendly compartments. Add a pair of gadget pouches and a long zippered pocket in the side wall and there’s no excuse for disorganization!
I don’t think the Crossroads is Chinese Laundry’s best tote, but its affordable $98 price tag still makes it a tempting proposition.
