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.

Would love the eva- perfect for my petite frame!
I’d choose the Eva!
I would go for the Mia, I love the olive color!
My vote is for the Mia folding tote – it’s more my personal style as it sounds very versatile. I love the idea of being able to use the bag in multiple ways such as converting it from a tote to a messenger bag, meaning this bag could be used for both work and weekends! I just finished graduate school, and Mia looks like a great bag to carry to my new internship! It’s professional and clean-lined, looking professional without being boring or stuffy. Great bag!
The Eva in Grey is elegant and would match many outfits.
Eva in navy. No other choice. Plays well with all others. Flat handles instead of rolled always win. The slight of shoulders like myself don’t fare well with rolled handles. Vertically challenged girls like me always gravitate for north/south totes. East/west just makes us look the letter ‘t”. Thanks for the opportunity Kat. Appreciate it.
Love the Eva – it looks like it would hold more documents (sadly I do a lot of work at home after hours), which is important.
Love the Eva. I just like bags to be leather. (I know, I know, heavy, etc.) And the edgier look really gets me going, without being too much.
The Mia Folding Tote, for sure – lightweight, durable, and a great contrast to all the black I wear in Boston. I can picture myself toting this all across the city and for work trips.
Im liking the Mia fold over tote. The look is a bit more subdued (great for work), while the fold over versatility, allows for space when needed, and a different look when you don’t want to look like you’re carrying a large tote.
I’d choose the Eva. Love the metallic hardware!
I love the Eva in gray. I adore leather bags and like that there is a strap in addition to the top handles – very versatile!
The Eva in Grey is what true beauty is all about- classy, understated, and stunning at the same time. It would fit my lifestyle so well, be it walking to the library to read an archive about the Renaissance in Europe or driving a scooter to have a mid-morning snack at a coffee shop. Thank you for this generous giveaway!
I think the EVA seems more versatile, so that would be my choice — but they both seem like great bags! I like that there is a gray option for a neutral as I think it goes well with both black and brown. Even though I don’t subscribe to the theory that all accessories (e.g., bags + shoes) must be in the same color scheme, this bag would work with anything.
I’d love the Eva–I’m just starting a new job, and I could use a new bag as a confidence booster!
Hope it’s not too late to comment! Love the Mia. I could definitely use a little more edge in my wardrobe.
aaand I realized I put the wrong name in my post – the rocker Eva!
I’d love the Eva because it comes in gray!
The Eva! Tough and sassy.
Oh, I hope I win! Love the bag.
I love them both but I would go with the Eva bag. It would easily transition from work day to date night. I would choose gray because it’s neutral but a little different from basis black.
I love the Eva! Great compliment to a professional wardrobe, and can double as a great travel bag and to use at conferences. Love, love, love!
I like the Eva just because it’s in black. I’m a New Yorker and we love to rock black accessories, clothes, etc. no matter the weather!
The Mia. I love the color and fabric. Chic.
Love the Eva bag – so versatile and would be perfect for all the work travel I end up doing
Love the Eva. I think I would choose it in black, because I wear black all the time. Great back to use for stashing everything I need to bring with me to the office.
I would choose the Mia for all the goodies I have to haul on my bus commute – files, notepad, a pair of flats, headphones, etc – while trying to look sleek and professional! A girl can ride transit AND be fashionable, right?
I would have to vote for the Mia. Even though it’s not leather the design looks a little more chic to me than the Eva. Add in the folding option and you completely win me over!
I love the Eva Tote in cognac — so pretty! I love that it can fit a laptop, and I assume, my iPad. Perfect for taking to class!
Love the Eva – perfect for work and outside of work :)
The EVA bag is my pic. The grommets, large zippers and overall rocker chic look is what I love.
I’d go for the Eva in black, 100%. It fits the sophisticated look I’m going for in my adult life, but still has enough rocker edge. Plus I would love to have a bag with more pockets…I’m so tired of digging through my bag for my keys/lip balm/wallet/etc.!
I love the Mia tote. My bag that colored could definitely use replacing.
Mia–love the olive with its military chic feel.
I would go with the Eva because it’s edgier, but not so much so that you couldn’t take it to the office.
I love the Eva bag in black – its big enough to hold my stuff and has an edginess that I love!
Awesome bags! I would pick the Eva – I love the styling and it sounds like there was a lot of thought put into the design, which I totally appreciate. Love it!
Definitely the Eva — you can’t go wrong with an edgy black tote.
I would love the Mia and use it often during my work week.
I love the Eva. What a classy way to tote your stuff!
The Eva is my pick; it’s sizeable yet slim, professional but edgy, iconic without being too stiff, and looks like it would be easy to carry. I can just visualize Eva Longoria with this tote; perhaps that’s where it got its name.
