Ellington easily combines practicality and classic good looks in this New Territory Folding Tote.
The traditional boxy shape has a slight slouch, but the vertical seams give it a little extra structure. The simple design allows the gorgeous butter leather to shine. The smooth aniline finish makes an interesting change from the typical pebbled surface we’ve seen so often.
Red can often appear garish, but the chocolate leather handles help to tone the shade down. We have several carrying options here; the short straps for hand-held toting or the longer shoulder strap which can be worn two ways. When the strap is affixed up top the tote sits upright, but when it’s attached lower the tote casually folds over. All the straps are detachable, so you can lose the ones you’re not using for the sleekest look.
Ellington goes the extra mile inside, offering more than space and pockets. A large zippered pocket and dual slip pouches are complemented by a handy pen loop and key clip.
It’s not likely to turn a lot of heads, but the classic good looks, high-quality design, and functional features of the New Territory Folding Tote will serve you well for several seasons.
