Lauren Conrad lent her distinctly Californian fashion sense to Linea Pelle for their collaborative line of leather accessories. The result is this edgy black tote made with Linea Pelle’s signature premium washed leather.
LC and LP are definitely at the head of the pack on the oversized shoulder bag trend, but the dual chain straps of the LC Tote make it stand out in the crowd. The rounded bucket shape of the exterior is simple and chic, and the leather is enzyme-washed for a distinctive distressed look.
The outside zipper pocket with shiny gold hardware is utilitarian, but it also breaks up the bigness of the bag and adds an interesting hard-edged contrast to the tote’s slouchiness. Its generous size, 13″ x 14″ x 11″, has room aplenty for everything a busy girl needs on a day away from home. Luckily, the chain straps are accented by thick leather handles, which make the bag more comfortable to carry by hand or slung across your shoulder.
The interior features a zipper pocket and two organizational pockets, which are crucial to keeping a bag this size practical. Although, personally, I think a few more organizational features would have been in order to keep all your things from sliding to the bottom of this bucket-shaped bag.
While LC’s television show, The Hills, may be on its way out, her new line for Linea Pelle features modern classic looks that are timeless. The LC Tote is also available in espresso and dark olive.
