Coach gets bold with this Bella tote bag from its youth-oriented Poppy line.
Louis Vuitton brought back graffiti style prints recently with its Stephen Sprouse tribute collection, but I think Coach brings something new to the table here. I really like the mix of edgy and feminine here; the thick black outlines make the roses appear much less fussy, and the whole design really pops against the white fabric background.
That’s a bit of a double-edged sword though, as customers report that the pale material gets dirty very easily. And goodness knows this isn’t the kind of tote that will survive a trip through the washing machine. The metallic leather handles see to that! This probably limits this tote to occasional use rather than everyday wear, which is a bit disappointing for $369.99.
When you are carrying it though, this Bella tote won’t let you down. It’s generously sized and well appointed with slip and zip pockets and long dual handles. I love the pop of the hot pink lining, and the platform base which helps the tote sit up. If only there were some metal feet to keep the base clean when it’s set down!
Gripes aside, this is a fun tote which makes a big impression. Just don’t expect it to look so good after a few seasons!
