Nahui Ollin looks to get us work ready with this Briefcase tote.
This is the Nahui Ollin we love on a larger scale. This time around, she’s weaving recycled magazines to create a playful laminated surface. The papery finish is accented with leather buckles and a short handle.
It might seem like this strap is too short for such a large bag, but you can always attach the longer one. You probably won’t need it though, as this isn’t a purse which should be loaded up. The buckles are a bit flimsy, and prone to popping open if there’s anything much inside. If you only need files and light folders that won’t be a problem, but if you need to carry a laptop or books to the office you’ll need a hardier briefcase.
Personally I think that makes the $250 price tag seem steep. For that money I want something that does more than make a style statement. This briefcase tote has a unique look, but sadly it doesn’t deliver what most of us want in a work bag.
