When I started looking for a new tote I had in mind a metallic or flowered Ted Baker one. In the end I ended up with a Roots 73 black with contrasting luggage colour.
There is something about this colour combination that really makes me sing. Don't wear the luggage colour in anything but purses and shoes but really love it.
While the tote is not at all what I was looking for and was marketed as having padded laptop and tablet pockets, neither of which I'll be carrying, it is perfect. Lots of pockets and compartments, a fully zippered top that goes all the way across and no magnets. The zippered top is very important to me as I upend my bags frequently.
I find I'm leaving my purse at home and just bringing this tote. A bit heavier than I like but perfect for all my various needs.
Really didn't want black but something fun for summer but the perfection of this one outweighed that.
