It’s got a little name, but the Mia tote from Hype is big, bright, and bold!
This larger than life handbag has enough space inside to hold everything you need, and enough style to impress. The finish is billed as crocodile-embossed leather, but nobody is going to believe this is a genuine exotic. The tiny irregular squares appear more like a mosaic than crocodile scales, but perhaps that’s okay. This surface may not be a convincing croc, but it’s got its own charm that goes beyond mere imitation.
The drawstring adds a casual air, but it’s not a very effective closure. It’s fiddly to use, and contorts the bag into an overly puckered shape. With a zippered closure providing security back-up, I wonder why the drawstring was included at all!
Zippered pockets in the front add aesthetic and practical appeal. They’re deep enough for stashing everything you need at your fingertips. Another slip pocket in the rear provides even more storage space.
And that’s before we even get inside. The deep north-south shape is large enough to carry the things we need to survive the day, while a zippered pocket and three multifunctional slips help keep the clutter at bay.
The rolled shoulder straps are probably long enough for most girls to sling over their shoulder, but the removable longer strap provides a little extra versatility. It converts the tote to a cross-body bag, perfect for your daily commute.
With 11 different colors available, there’s literally one to suit everybody. Conservative tastes may gravitate towards black or smoke gray, while more daring divas may prefer tango orange or this Aztec blue.
