Ahoy maties! Whether you’re on ship or shore, Tory Burch can give your outfit a sailor feel with the nautical tote.
What I like most about this bag is its subtlety. When so many bags overdose on the nautical details, this tote never becomes a novelty. The crocodile-embossed leather trim is a curious accompaniment to the plain black nylon body. I like to think it’s a homage to Captain Hook’s nemesis, but more realistically I think Tory Burch simply wanted to dress up the casual material. Either way, I like the element of surprise it gives.
While the body is basic black, the straps give us the nautical vibe promised. The knotted rope handles look like they could have come from any sail boat’s rigging, although I’ll bet they’ll feel a lot more comfortable in your hands. When you’d prefer a hands-free carrying option the longer strap comes into play. Its sporty stripes have the necessary marine appeal, and you can simple unclip it when you’re done.
You’ll have room for everything you need on a sailing trip, and then some, inside this sizable tote. A zippered pocket gives you a secure spot for valuables, while a handful of cell phone pockets can take care of your gadgets. It wouldn’t do to be separated from dry land for too long now, would it?
The leather trim does drive the price up a bit, but at $325 it’s still quite reasonable for a designer tote.
