Coffee Break: Linea Pelle Dylan Medium Tote

We're liking this slouchy, cool tote from Linea Pelle today. We like it for its size (big enough for a pad of paper), as well as for the functionality — the pocket on the outside and the inside, the fact that you can wear it on your shoulder from any of the straps, the fun print on the inside. Available in black, brown and the orangey “Zucca” for $415 at Piperlime. Linea Pelle Dylan Medium Tote

This is cute. Unfortunately, it will probably be less cute once you actually fill it to capacity. But still better than giving on style for function altogether.
Just not sure I want a black bag now that spring is almost here….
$415 ? Good grief.
This is a perfectly nice bag, but there are sooo many decent leather bags for sale out there, if I were forking over $400, I’d look for one that was originally like $800, on sale half price. Better bag, same money.
Also, I wish they’d line all bags in pale fabric. Black lining = I can’t find things in there. Pale fabric = more light. Ok, it will get grubby, but no one sees in there but me. I once lost my temper and turned a bag inside out and used white fabric paint on the lining. Worked great.
Looks like wannabe Balenciaga, sorry.
agree – nice bag but perhaps not worth the 415. here are a couple of others

Ooh, me likey. I’ve had a bag v. similar to this for the last year that I got from Bluefly, and the straps are starting to wear. I love anything I can sling across my body — helps when you’re toting heels + files.
I used to buy expensive bags – one Coach after another. Have totally changed my philosophy and now get bags I can throw away at the end of each season. I think you can get more bang for your buck in many other ways. A handbag really does not enhance your appearance, because it is not clothing. I think someone with $400.00 to spend on non-clothing might do better to buy some really nice costume jewlery – or even real jewelry. This too will go out of style, but at least it will not get dirty or wear out, right?
I’ve moved in the opposite direction! While I enjoy some fun, throw away bags for summer, I now spend more for more solidly constructed purses for work. They last longer while still looking good. I definitely think a handbag is almost like clothing and that it does enhance or detract from one’s overall appearance.
