I will need a large tote at some point, &amp; I don't buy leather. Synthetic bags are usually lighter weight, &amp; are more sustainable for my wallet &amp; for the cows. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-tote-for-a-very-reasonable-price#post-2154387 Tue, 17 Nov 2020 18:18:15 +0000 avicennia 2154387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Debbie, your post was helpful! Not at all offensive. I noticed that the bag is synthetic, not leather, which explains the price. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-tote-for-a-very-reasonable-price#post-2154368 Tue, 17 Nov 2020 16:31:33 +0000 Debbie 2154368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am sorry if I offended anyone. I usually buy designer bags I bought this for work Farmers Market ect. I realize I have no idea about their policies and will research in the future. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-tote-for-a-very-reasonable-price#post-2154366 Tue, 17 Nov 2020 16:19:25 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2154366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a good example of an article I posted in Inge’s last round-up, about how ethical shopping is a privelege not everyone can afford. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-tote-for-a-very-reasonable-price#post-2154364 Tue, 17 Nov 2020 16:09:17 +0000 Angie 2154364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Lisa P</b>, I thought about that. As much as I understand your thinking and see your side, we don’t <i>really</i> know why this item is inexpensive. It can be a number of reasons, and it’s speculation at best. A cancelled order. Over-supply. Old stock. A reduced price to move stock, and the list goes on. You can get items at H&amp;M for this price point too. And they are a fairly sustainable retailer. </p> <p>Financial hardships are high at the moment. Everyone has to manage as best as they can with the resources they have available to them. I’ve decided to make this bag a fab find because it will be of value to some people, for their reasons, especially now. The faux leather aspect is appealing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-tote-for-a-very-reasonable-price#post-2154314 Tue, 17 Nov 2020 06:06:20 +0000 Anonymous 2154314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There is a reason items like this are so incredibly cheap . Do we really want to promote purchases like this , as nice as they are ? I know this is a controversial statement to make , and my goal in life isn’t to be a troublemaker , but this seems counter to what is valued here on YLF . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-tote-for-a-very-reasonable-price#post-2154237 Mon, 16 Nov 2020 18:54:57 +0000 Inge 2154237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh great tip, thanks so much, Debbie!

Thanks, sweet <b>Debbie</b>. I made it a top pick.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-tote-for-a-very-reasonable-price#post-2154003 Sat, 14 Nov 2020 15:01:11 +0000 Anonymous 2154003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Debbie, thank you for answering about the fastener. Those open top tote are ideal for adding small bags and a water bottle when out shopping. I like bags best when they open at the top but have some secure compartments. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-tote-for-a-very-reasonable-price#post-2153981 Sat, 14 Nov 2020 12:03:03 +0000 Lynne 2153981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's lovely, Debbie, and would be fab with a scarf! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-tote-for-a-very-reasonable-price#post-2153965 Sat, 14 Nov 2020 07:07:52 +0000 Jane 2153965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks super!

Gorgeous colour. I have not yet paid for a designer bag. I think the most I have ever paid is maybe around $160? I would keep the tassel myself because I like them, but I like your idea too.<br /> I always look for an outside pocket for the car keys. All designer bags I have seen don’t have them.<br /> Wow just checked the price. A bargain! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-tote-for-a-very-reasonable-price#post-2153963 Sat, 14 Nov 2020 06:54:06 +0000 slim cat 2153963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice color and size - like the idea of leopard scarf tied to the bag.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-tote-for-a-very-reasonable-price#post-2153959 Sat, 14 Nov 2020 06:29:03 +0000 Debbie 2153959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes it has a magnetic fastener. I was prepared not to like this and have been pleasantly surprised. It functions well for what I need. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-tote-for-a-very-reasonable-price#post-2153958 Sat, 14 Nov 2020 06:25:03 +0000 Anonymous 2153958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a beautiful tote, Debbie. Do I see a snap or magnetic fastener at the top? That is helpful if one puts the bag on the passenger seat and it falls over. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-tote-for-a-very-reasonable-price#post-2153956 Sat, 14 Nov 2020 05:52:52 +0000 Debbie 2153956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was playing on Amazon one night when I came across this tote. I had seen it on another blog but had not paid much attention. I had been wanting a cognac bag for shopping and work. I bought it and I couldn’t be happier. It has a large inside pocket and a tassel on the front. I took the tassel off and tied a leopard scarf on mine.</p> <p>These would make great gifts. I have another tote I paid about 5 times the price of this one and I am not happy with it. </p>
