I really didn't need another tote bag but I'd been eyeing this tote in black for a while. I couldn't resist when I saw they were on sale on Nordstrom.com and bought one in red. The size of the tote works for me as I use it for work to carry papers, an extra pair of shoes, etc. The tote is surprisingly light and the leather is supple but not thin. I bought the red color on a whim and was worried it would be too bright or garish, but I really like the color, hot lipstick red.
I wish D&B had put metal feet on the bottom of the tote to protect the leather, but overall, I am happy I bought this tote.
