XOXO keeps it simple with this Radiance Tote.
XOXO’s usually got such a problem with overembellishment, so I’m thrilled to see it opting for a more minimalist design. Its lines are clean and its shape tried and true. The bold butterfly image is the only real decoration, and XOXO allows it to take center stage. It seems like the youthful fashion house may be learning a thing or two about style.
The straw finish is far from luxurious, but it looks much better than the tacky synthetic the label typically employs. The woven natural fiber isn’t trying to be anything it’s not, and it shines because of it.
The Radiance is a spacious tote, but I wouldn’t push it to its limits. Straw is notoriously fragile, and it might break if it’s trusted to carry anything heavy. I’d use the space for light but bulky items, like beach towels and flip flops. This tote looks like it’s ready for hitting the coast after all!
The Radiance isn’t likely to inspire handbag envy, but it’s one of XOXO’s strongest designs. And at $79, it also won’t break the bank!
