Ralph Lauren goes back to basics with this Newbury tote bag.
What this tote lacks in cutting edge style it makes up for in sophistication. The shape is familiar and its clean, uncluttered lines compelling. I love the unique texture and color of the leather, and the embossed crest in a classy way of branding it.
I could have done without the polished metal stirrup dangling from the top though, as it appears a bit gimmicky. However this kind of accent isn’t unexpected for the equestrian loving brand. I’ll bet Ralph Lauren devotees will lap it up, but if you’re not so keen you can simply unclip it.
This traditional tote shape is classic for a reason. It really is ideal for carrying everything we need, and making those items easy to access. A zippered pouch extends along the length of the back wall, while the front wall is packed with even more pockets. The removable cosmetics bag is another handy touch for holding make-up essentials when you’re on the go.
Considering its evergreen style and functional design, this Newbury tote seems like great value at $248.
