Tusk blends all the style of the Orient with a modern design aesthetic to create its Bamboo Slim Tote.
We’ve seen many Asian inspired bags of late, but this is more subtle than most. Rather than sporting delicate cherry blossom prints or silky finishes, this tote channels the East with its center seam detail. You might not even notice if you weren’t told, but these stitches help to recreate the bamboo we’d see in Chinese fields.
I spent so much time looking at these seams, I barely noticed the open pockets situated on either side. That’s a good thing though; too often designers sacrifice good looks for practicality, but Tusk cleverly manages to incorporate these functional features without interrupting the styling.
Those pockets are just the start of the perks. You wouldn’t know it to look at the slender design, but this is actually quite a sizable tote. While it won’t easily hold anything too wide, it’s more than capable of carrying magazines, important documents, and other large items.
The Bamboo Slim Tote is available in just four shades, but they should be enough to satisfy most tastes. Black and blue velvet are conservative choices, while hot pink and this cheery yellow cater for wild childs.
