Fossil takes us back to the 70s with this boho inspired Modern Cargo Tote.
The buttery soft leather gives the Modern Cargo its casually cool silhouette. The slightly shiny skin reminds us that it isn’t the best quality leather, but it’s better than most materials at this price.
The exterior pockets point to this tote’s practical nature, but they’re a bit misleading as they’re really too small to be of any great use. Most cell phones and bunches of keys won’t fit inside, so what’s the point? Really they’ll only hold loose change, but as they’re unsecured we probably wouldn’t trust them! The interior pockets are a bit more useful, although the cell pouch is too large to snugly hold most phones.
I really appreciate this tote’s convertible nature though. We can carry it as it is, fold it over and attach the cross body strap, or take that off an use it as an oversized clutch.
But all Modern Cargo totes aren’t created equally. While the brown and black leather versions are classic options, the silver one looks a bit gaudy. The metallic finish really cheapens the leather, which is less than we deserve for $168.
