Giveaway: Win an Ellington Handbag!

So a little while ago I was introduced to the good folks at Ellington Handbags — and not only did they send me a bag for review, but they've also offered to give one to Corporette's U.S. readers as well! I truly do love my Eva Tote. First, it's very rocker chic — love the zipper detailing, grommets, the big rings at the handles, and the seaming. The leather is really supple and soft, and it's designed quite intelligently — for example, their tech pockets are inside another big pocket, which I think will be super helpful for those times where you just want to jam everything into your bag, and then can't find it later. (Am I the only one?) There's an interior keyfob and a light-colored lining, as well as a detachable canvas cross-body strap. Gorgeous.
For the giveaway, if you win you can choose either the Eva (my tote — retails for $229, available in black, gray, cognac, or navy) — or you can choose the slightly more casual nylon twill Mia Folding Tote (retail $169, available in olive and black). In order to win, please leave a comment below (with your email address filled out in the field)– which bag would you choose, and why?
The Rules: Comment on this post (including your email address in the “email address field”), telling us whether you'd choose the Eva or the Mia, and why The winner will be announced on Tuesday, May 22. You must include your email in the email address field so you can be contacted by Kat in the event you win the giveaway. Your information will be held in confidence by Corporette pursuant to The Corporette Privacy Policy, and you will only be contacted by Kat in the event you win the giveaway.

I love the Eva in cognac. That would definitely be my first choice.
I like the Eva….I have been needing a black purse for a while.
ooh, love the Eva in blue — great details, plus now that I have a new, smaller laptop, I need a great bag to go with it!
I would choose the Eva in black–it’s the holy grail of the zipper-top, laptop-holding black basic bag that I’ve been searching for. Even if I don’t win, I am going to buy it!
I like the look of Mia.
Eva in grey! Great color that would be an unexpected alternative to black. Love the long strap for a cross body option – so versatile for work or weekend.
The eva in black would be a versatile bag for me
I would choose the Eva, leaning toward gray or navy (so gorgeous!)–the zipper detailing and rings give the bag an edgy touch which stands out against its more unobtrusive rectangular shape. It has greater color versatility and looks more professional compared to the Mia, which strikes me as an equally useful but visually duller bag (that said, I do think the gold detailing stands out in a prettier fashion for black, not so much olive). And finally, considering my 15″ laptop computer, the Eva would just better hold my belongings (large slip pocket!).
An Eva in gray for me please! Beautiful, and, named for my best friend!
Both bags are amazing, but Eva would be perfect for work. I love the cognac and grey colors!
I’d choose the Eva. As a working mom of a little one, I love lots of places in a purse to keep everything organized!! It’s hard looking around for a pen for a meeting but only finding lip gloss or a baby teething rattle I stuck in my bag from the night before!
I love the Eva! It is the perfect combination of classic chic and rocker chick. I would lug my folders to work in it or wear in shopping with the girls on the weekend. Great bag!
Both are gorgeous! But the Eva tote in Navy takes the cake.
I’d love the Eva in grey! I just graduated from law school and have been looking for a larger professional purse, this would be perfect!!!
I LOVE the Eva! I’ve been trying to make the jump from “thrown together” to “put together” and I think this bag would put me squarely in the camp of “put together” chic!
I am lusting after the Eva. I love the edginess of the bag, and also love that it is still wearable for every day! Thanks for the opportunity for these bags, Kat!
I love the Eva tote in grey! I’ve been looking for a great grey tote for awhile now and may have to go ahead and purchase this even if I don’t get picked.
I’d love to win the Mia because it’s so versatile!
Would love the Eva to jazz up my work style!
Eva! It would be perfect for work, and I love all the pockets!
I would choose the Eva, it fits my lifestyle well!
Love the Eva – I’d choose it in Cognac. I love how the classic color contrasts with the edgy details. I’ve been looking for a warm-toned leather tote for ages and this totally fits the bill!
love the Eva! so rocker, so chic.
Love the Eva in Cognac because it’s different and would work well for traveling.
The Eva is great because it can be used for work AND play!
I would love the Eva bag in black. It’s such a great style for both work and play. I can picture it with *so* many different outfits, such a versatile handbag!
Definitely the Eva because it is professional enough for work, but also sexy enough for the weekends!
I adore the Eva Tote in black. I have an inner rockstar (don’t we all?) and I think the black would go great with all of her outfits!
Please enter me into the giveaway.
I would be thrilled to win the Eva as I am in need of a large leather bag that has a newer look than the vintage bag I currently use.
Mia is my choice, because the casual feel of the olive bag is perfectly suited to summer. As much as I love leather, lugging a big black bag around in SoCal heat doesn’t help one look less bulky when all the seasonal clothes appearing in the office are light and airy!
Oh, goodness… I’d be all OVER that Eva bag. Exactly as you said: the “rocker chic” vibe. Besides, I’m more than a little obsessed with zippers on black.
I would choose Eva because I think it looks more professional.
Definitely the Eva. Can walk into a meeting with it, then jet home or to the airport – no need to stop to pick up an unsightly bag you didn’t want to take with you to the meeting! The cross-body strap then helps you travel with it when you don’t have enough hands running through the airport (or the mall!). Yup. A winner.
I love the Eva its so downtown and edgy. I would use it everyday and it would look great with jeans too. Plus it looks roomy.
I would choose the Eva because the it can be dressed up or down.
I’d choose the Eva — such rich-looking leather! Great for holding all the junk I seem to carry around constantly.
I love the Eva in cognac!
I love the Eva! I have been looking for a good-quality, but not boring tote like this.
The Eva is a nice work tote. I could use this for a light court day, putting a couple of files in along with my regular stuff (and there’s oh so much of that). Nice.
the black because I’m in need of a new black bag and have been putting off getting one for over a year…
