Reviews

Lightweight Tote

"Love this bag. I have it in Navy that I purchased a few years ago. I like this new color too"

Roseann L. (5/5)

Great tote!

"I was hoping this was a good size to use as an every day purse and it is! It is large but not too big to use as an every day purse. My only wish is that it had an inside pocket. I use an organizer that has compartments that keep my things organized but a side pocket would be nice. Love the key attachment."

My Go To bag

"I just love my tote bag, it’s my go to bag. I use it at work, malling and traveling as everything I need fits inside and I don't worry if it gets dirty or stained as I can wash my bag."

Rosemarie A. (5/5)

Tote

"Love the color the light weight. I have to add magnets for closure. I didn’t know it had an open top"

Kathy W. (5/5)

Great bag- versatile

"I thought this was reversible but inside base is not removable. It is a great bag otherwise . Great neutral design, perfect size for work/ travel. Will go with so many of my other Rothy shoes"

Nelayda F. (5/5)

Love the pattern!

"Love the pattern on this bag and the fact that it’s reversible! It is pretty large but great for when you need to shove a bunch of odds and ends in your bag, a day trip, etc. Has a key chain which is nice to hook keys or a wristlet to."
