Some girls see tote bags as a convenient way to carry their must haves from here to there. Yet others see these accessories, and probably most other things in their life, as status symbol. It’s for these girls that Isaac Mizrahi created the Slouch Tote. You see, anyone else would laugh at the idea of paying more than a thousand big ones for such a simply designed bag.
It may be overpriced, but there’s an alluring level of luxury to be enjoyed here. The leather is incredibly soft, and classic in both sand and brown shades. The traditional shape and unadorned exterior has a quiet confidence about it. This isn’t a bag trying hard to emulate the latest trend. It knows it doesn’t need to. The only accent is the Isaac Mizrahi logo charm hanging proudly from the side.
The regular handles are ridiculously short for a bag of this size, so thankfully a much longer strap can be easily attached. I suppose this gives us the versatility to wear the tote the way we want, but I can’t help wondering: why not just make the handles longer in the first place?
But it seems Isaac Mizrahi wasn’t thinking of practicality when he made the Slouch Tote. Yes, the leather looks lovely, but without any protective feet it might not for very long. There’s no closure either, and without a flat base I worry about items spilling out once it’s set down.
The price and lack of functional details will scare more than a few fashion fans away, but judging by how quickly they’re selling plenty of purse lovers are still prepared to splurge on a Slouch Tote.
