Lily Waters sticks to its creative guns with this patterned Tara tote.
In many ways it’s more of the same from this fashion house. We’ve seen these prints before, and the classic tote shape is also nothing new. The material is also predictable, although it has the advantage of being lightweight, a real plus in a bag so large. The Tara is a lot like the Jodi tote, although it’s much taller. Personally I prefer these dimensions as they offer a bit more security for the items you’re carrying inside.
The interior is spacious, but sadly there’s only a single pocket inside to organize it. There’s another pocket on the outside for carrying essentials like keys and cosmetics, but a few more pouches wouldn’t have gone astray.
There are a few little perks that we don’t often see on such an affordable bag though. The double zip top is a small but important touch for anyone who’s ever had a zip fail on them. If one breaks, there’s still another to rely upon. I also like the removable base, which adds structure when it’s in, and makes storage simpler when it’s not.
The Tara’s not about to get fashion columnists gossiping, but for $40 Lily Waters has created another affordable and adorable tote.
