Canvas totes make me want to grab a swimsuit and head toward the water. The casual and incredibly practical material is a must-have for the spring and summer months. Its durability makes it perfect for a low maintenance handbag, and the rough texture exudes a laid-back, going-nowhere-quickly kind of vibe.
Paired with patent leather, though, canvas can become something a bit dressier. It could never be a formal handbag, but this Tory Burch Isa tote shows how the combination of the two materials can look classy. With just a little glossy blue trim, the Isa is a bag that can work for you all week long from the office to shopping to dinner with friends.
The patent leather on this slim tote appears on the handle anchors and on the two bottom panels that give structure to the sides of the handbag. You’ll also find a piece of the shiny blue leather on the top of each of the canvas handles. This adds comfort and keeps the bag from slipping off your shoulder. A convenient detachable strap adjusts for carrying it across the body as well.
No Tory Burch purse is complete, however, without a logo or signature hardware. The Isa displays a t-shaped accent that secures the handles to the tote. The subtle, gold-toned detail complements the glossy patent trim and contrasts nicely with the coarse brown canvas. This designer bag also comes in an equally practical nylon material and is available in several different color combinations. The Isa retails for $325.
