Eva Tote: BlackSo 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.

Mia Folding Tote: OliveFor 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.

  1. Oooohh I love the Mia. Big enough to carry files during the week and can convert down to something a bit smaller to carry on the weekends!

  2. Me, I’d go with the Mia because I’ve a trip-for-work coming up and it looks like it’d be perfect for international travel: plenty of room for my laptop and iPad for work as well as room for a Kindle for my in-flight entertainment. The outside pockets, though, are what really sell me on it: plenty of room for all of the things you have to keep taking in and out of your pockets at an airport! Passport? Slip it in. Tickets? Not a problem. Money because I forgot to pack gum? Done and done.

    Finally: do I blend in when I get off the plane in Europe? Yessireebob! Chic and ready for business!

  4. The Eva in cognac, or black, or cognac. Yeah, cognac. I always feel more empowered when wearing accessories that are truly *me* and I can certainly see the Eva being a part of that!

  5. I love the Eva tote in Navy! I’m usually boring with my handbag choices in black or brown leather(ette) but this one is so fantastic! I’m in handbag love!

  9. I would love the Eva in black — it’s cool rocker-chic that would fit in at my casual office but could also be taken out to a dressier after-work function. And it’s just me! I love, love, love it.

  13. I’d go for the Eva in black. Love that it is good for casual weekend wear and nice enough to pass for use at work.

  15. Love the Eva, especially in black and cognac – it looks tough, but not so rocker-ish that it’s trying too hard

  16. I’d go with the Eva tote. I’m a suburban mom who works in a corporate environment. I need all of the “rocker chic” cool points I can get!

  17. I love the Eva! It’s cool and modern, and the perfect size for when I need to bring my laptop with me to meetings.

  19. Mia all the way. As a mom-to-be I forsee great advantages to having a tote than can magically double in size by unfolding it. Perfect for carrying things between home and the office during maternity leave.

  21. Love the Mia Folding Tote — all the room and pockets would be great for the mom on the go. I can have my briefs in one section, and Sophie the giraffe in the other!

  23. I love the Eva in Cognac. It would be the perfect everday work bag for me. I can carry my laptop and files in it but it looks like it would transition into a great everyday casual bag. Love the details (zippers and pockets) too.

  25. I love the Eva in black or grey – so versatile! And the I think the exterior pockets really make the look.

  26. I love the Eva, especially in Cognac and black. It would transition from work to evening perfectly, while still holding everything I need to have with me!

  31. I really like the Mia, I don’t buy work purses anymore without a crossbody strap, as I end up filling them up when I have work to take home.

  35. Love the Eva in gray! Looks like a perfect everyday bag for carrying a few things to and from the office!

  36. I would choose Eva Tote (in black or cognac). I would carry it to work . . . that way, I would know that even though I am dressed professionally and following the dress code, I am keeping a bit of rocker vibe alive!

    Had to repost with my email address!

  38. I would choose the Mia because I already have a formal black leather tote for general use, but would love a more casual tote for carrying both to the office and on weekend trips and the like. And its cute!

    1. Instead of ourselves, can we nominate our favourite contributor instead, as I’d like
      TCFKAG to win the bag for her helpful and downright hilarious posts. Vote TCFKAG!

  39. I love the Mia Folding Tote. I think it would be great for those days when I have to bring stuff home from the office. And by “stuff” I usually mean, hard hat, ear muffs, safety vest, safety glasses, etc. Plus it could fit my laptop. This would be a much nicer way to carry all that junk! I’d be the most stylish construction-ette around. Love it!

  40. Definitely the Mia. As a public transit/walking commuter, my shoulders have learned the hard way that real leather is just too heavy. I love finding new, cute, useful nylon bags!
