For a tote that seems to be having an identity crisis, the Shirt shopper from Tod’s seems very together.
Its name seems designed to raise eyebrows. After all, this tote is certainly not a shirt. In fact, it doesn’t appear to have any shirt-like qualities at all. But it is a lovely creature all the same. Its creamy leather is delicious, a timeless pastel that is much more interesting than white or ivory. A drawstring cinches in the top, creating soft pleats and a casual versatility.
I’ve never been the greatest fan of drawstrings. They’re fiddly to use, and not very secure. But with a magnetic snap helping the tie out, I’ve got less to rally against. The pair of closures helps to make the mid-sized interior safe. It’s not very large, but I still wish there was more than a single zippered pocket. We’ll need to work hard to keep the Shirt clutter free, as it won’t do it for us.
At $1265 this shopper is more expensive than any shirt I own, and also any handbag! But if you’ve got the cash, you could do worse than spending it on a purse with such timeless sophistication.
