Nine West combines modern style with everyday practicality with this Avari Tote.
It might not be a trendsetter, but there’s a lovely modern look about this large tote bag. The flared top and pleated base make a nice change of pace from the traditional boxy tote bag shape. Deep chestnut brown trim and handles are a gorgeous complement to the Avari’s bold color palette. The girly girl in me is drawn to this ultra pink purse, but there are also less feminine options including sun yellow and mellow Sahara tan. If you prefer a unified look you can’t beat classic black on black.
I like the look, but the practical design is what’s really won me over. The dimensions are generous but it never feels overwhelming, with its large zippered pocket and pair of technology pouches. These compartments work in tandem with the external zip pocket, which gives us a handy space for storing the essentials we need at our fingertips.
But the Avari’s charm is about more than its organizational features. I also love the straps, which allow us to easily convert the Avari from regular tote to cross-body bag. Simple fold in the top, zip it up, and add the longer strap to create a whole new look.
Nine West doesn’t give us the luxury of leather, but this synthetic bag has enough style and substance to make it worth its $99 price tag.
