Do you want zippered pockets? You’ve got them with this Maraka Tote from Nine West.
Those zip pockets are the centerpiece of this bag, which is a really good thing. I love it when an element makes a bag aesthetically pleasing and practical, and these pockets do both things well. The brassy hardware works with the tan glazed leather body to create a Western vintage vibe, and there’s plenty of space for the items you want on hand. It’s really a win-win!
The Maraka is a really tall tote though, so I’d carry the essentials in the pockets. Otherwise you’ll end up spending far too long scrounging for them at the bottom of the bag. Thankfully there are two open pouches inside and a zip pocket too, so you’re going to easily find enough places for keeping those small items in check.
The handles are long enough to sling over your shoulder, but that’s not the only way we can wear it. Nine West also offers a much longer strap to help us convert the Maraka to a cross-body. Its look is much more casual, but also more convenient for busy days.
The Maraka ticks all the boxes for me. It’s stylish, versatile, well made, and convenient. And what’s more, at $139 it’s affordable to boot!
