I’m not always a fan of Laurel and Sunset’s cheap and cheerful accessories. All too often it seems that the label cuts corners to keep those prices down. But I may have to change my tune after spotting this impressive Flower Bloom tote.
It’s easy to see where this tote gets its name. A large structured flower is the tote’s centerpiece, and it really shines. The attention to detail is impressive, particularly for the price. Variegated leaves hang beneath the bloom, and woven synthetic makes a lovely pollinated center. The flower is showy, but by choosing that simple earthy brown Laurel and Sunset makes this tote very wearable.
The shape is simple too, but I can’t help thinking of a flower pot when I look at it. I don’t think that’s a bad thing though. It makes it a little more interesting, and its flat base is very practical.
Speaking of practicality, Laurel and Sunset again surpass my expectations on that score. We get a whopping five pockets inside, including one that’s the perfect size for a cell phone. There’s enough room to suit our everyday needs, and the cotton/nylon blend lining should take some beating.
Considering its good looks and functional features, I really don’t know how Laurel and Sunset can offer this tote for $36.95. It’s not the most sophisticated bag on the market, but it is a whole lot of fun.
