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 would choose the Eva because its the perfect everyday black bag for work and play!
I love the Eva tote! Especially in olive for summer. I need a bag to haul a BUNCH of stuff around each day at work, and the Eva seems perfect and light and perfect for summer.
Such a dork! I mean the Mia. Is it too late? Sorry, up all night last night.
I like the Mia in Olive for traveling and even to take to/from work if it is not raining!
The Eva, definitely. I’m not hip enough for a rocker chick bag!
I love the Eva in Cognac. It looks like it would be a great work purse.
Obsessed with the Eva in Cognac! So chic and practical – I’d wear it anywhere. Already dreaming up outfits to pair with the bag.
I would choose the Mia because of it’s simple but chic look. What a great giveaway!

LOVE LOVE LOVE the Mia in black!!!
It’s the perfect size and would go well with everything.
Also, because I never really splurge on myself and would love to carry this around instead of the diaper bag :)
Pretty! I could really use the Eva tote for work- I lug a laptop back and forth quite a bit, and need my hands free for the commute- the Eva with the cross body strap looks like the perfect solution!
Mia in Olive because I don’t have anything like it!
I’d go for the Eva in Navy. Beautiful bag and it has a light colored lining!
I would choose the Mia – I like that it’s slightly more casual and is definitely more my style.
Thanks for hosting the giveaway!
What a great giveaway! Both bags look awesome to me, but I think I’d choose the Mia because it seems like a great way to carry all my school stuff (I’m a doctoral student) and still look professional.
I love the Mia, especially in the olive color – it’d be perfect for me to bring to work, and has that bit of casual-ness that makes it really versatile for using on the weekend as well. And I love that it folds over and can be worn messenger-bag style – it’d be perfect for traveling!
Both look like they’d fit easily into my closet! If I had to choose, then I’d go for Eva in grey – I could see this becoming my laptop bag
I like the Mia – the folding capability is awesome, and would be easier for the days I want to just carry a small bag, but being able to have it big would be nice for days I need to carry folders or something in my bag, too! I also love the internal key fob.
i like the versatility of the mia!
eva tote in gray – super fabulous everyday bag. the formality of leather, with just enough of an edge that makes it perfect for all occasions.
Love the Mia in black! perfect balance between the giant totes I normally have and the cross-body bags I wish I could cram all my stuff into :)
I love the Eva–could fit all my stuff for the office, yet let me have a little edge.
I vote for Eva. Hip but still works with a suit.
The Eva tote in Cognac is gorgeous and the one for me — I love the color and the size and how it would be great at work or over the weekend.
I’d choose the Mia Folding Tote. Perfect size for my daily commute, and I love the interior!
I like the Eva bag a lot – I think it’s great for every day use whether you’re going to the office or running weekend errands.
I’m definitely choosing the Eva. I travel frequently and stuff my bags so as to meet the two carry-on limit. This bag seems perfect for my laptop, some files, and a good book. I really love the blue.
I like the Eva because it’s both classy and a bit unusual.
I’d choose the Eva. It’s big enough to carry files between home and the office, and the leather exterior makes it easy to clean baby spit-up (the current challenge to my work wardrobe).
I would pick the Eva in Cognac. It seems like a perfect size for a professional bag, but the zippers keep it edgy. Plus, the Cognac color is amazing!
Definitely the Mia – it looks like a great bag for travel, and looks like it would take up very little space if you wanted to stow it in your suitcase for part of the trip!
I love the Eva in black. It’s a great style, and I could really use something hip and cool like this!!
The mia! I like how it flips over into a smaller bag.
Nice bags! I would go with the Eva for sure: more unique looking, could swing for an evening instead of just at the office, and love the features you describe (including the zipper compartments and tech pockets).
I love the Eva! It looks like it would go so perfectly with almost any outfit! What a classic bag with an edgy twist.
The Eva would be a perfect work bag. And the grommets help to make it fun!
I would choose the Eva – it’s so hard to find a unique black back, but the Eva fits the bill!
I love the Mia. Versatile for work and travel.
Love the Mia – the twill with the leather is a nice combo.
Love the Mia!!! So chic and NYC. Would go great with all my outfits :)
The Eva, of course
I would choose the Eva Tote because I have really been needing and wanting a bag that I can use as a purse and a bookbag, and still be stylin!
