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 Eva in Cognac…love the leather, style and it would fit my 15″ laptop for work..starting my first job (non-lawyer) and would love to have a professional and stylish bag
Definitely the Eva in gray. I prefer leather to nylon plus I love the detailing.
Eva–because I want to model for my daughter and niece that classy, classic style doesn’t have to be,”Boh-ring!”
I love the Eva – the soft leather and larger hardware make it look stylish while making a statement.
I would choose the eva in grey I love the zippers on the side and I don’t have a grey purse and it looks so soft
I am on Team Eva. Love the rocker chic!
I love the Eva bag in cognac or gray. As a senior associate at my firm, I travel to glamorous places, like Fayetteville, TN, Union City, TN, and Tupelo, MS ~ amongst other exotic locales. I need a bag that can handle coffee spills in the car, rain running from my car to a deposition, and the pockets to handle everything needed for depositions and hearings (such as Excedrin extra strength, my tablet computer, and files). Additionally, since its made of fabric, I can rest my head on it, when the depositions or hearings take longer, much longer, hours longer, than expected.
I love the Eva in black! I would wear it for a night out on town ( with convenient cross body strap) after work. It will work perfectly in the scenario and look cool with the zippers and other edgy details like large hardware!
I love the EVA tote! It is just gorgeous! Wish I could find these bags in Michigan!
Eva- She would be right on for my black power suits. She let’s you know that I mean business, but I have a spark – an edge. Love her!
The Eva in black or cognac — the tote/crossbody crossover is a great idea. I love crossbodys, but they often feel too casual for work. The combination totally works, especially since the tote is big enough for files. I like both bags, but have to go with leather for the office. Canvas just seems too casual.
I would love the Eva in grey or even orange. It is big enough to throw my laptop in when I need to, but so sleek and edgy with the hardware. And I am tempted to go with the orange for a punch of color, to be even more edgy!
I’d choose the Mia, in either color. It has to be one of the most versatile bags I’ve ever seen, and when I look at it, I can picture it on my arm, everywhere I go, from depositions to “glamping” trips.
I’d go with the gray Eva, because it would go with both my black suit and navy suit.
I’d choose the Eva in black for a few reasons, it’s my sister’s name, I prefer leather, and I like silver hardware more than gold/bronze.
I think the Eva in Cognac is gorgeous! Definitely a color that I always want, but end up passing up.
The Eva tote is gray is just beautiful! It is neutral but not boring with just the right dose of rocker-chic. What an awesome giveaway!
I would love the Mia in Olive. The neutral color and material makes it very versatile. I also really like the look of it.
Mia in Olive — perfect for transporting the laptop to and fro during the workweek and can probably double for a mini (chic) diaper bag on the weekends.
I would choose the Eva tote in black. I like the black to use at work since it would go with everything, but with the great silver accents it also can easily transition to having fun with friends in the evenings or weekends. I also really like the shape of the bag since it is more vertical rather than horizontal in shape. It is hard to find a bag with this great shape!
The Eva in navy… what a great bag! I love the edge from the hardware and zippers and that color is so versatile (in my wardrobe, at least)
Eva in cognac because I love that material and color!
The Mia, because it looks like you could fold it up and carry it as a backup tote.
Eva – it just looks fun!
I love the Eva in navy. Navy seems really big this year and it would be a nice change from all of my black totes!
eva- it looks tough but elegant too. nice balance to strike!
I would love the Eva in cognac to take to work and to carry my necessities when I’m in Rome, Venice, and Naples this July!
I love the Eva…
Because it’s durable
Eva for me because I think leather works best for work and weekend, and as it “ages” it still looks great. I’d get out of my comfort zone and go with the cognac – it’s really quite a versatile color.
Love the Mia.
I dig the Mia. I really like the “folding” feature, and I like that it will carry a laptop!
The Eva! It professional and hardcore.
*It’s. Gah.
Mia! I love the clean lines and convenience.
I LOVE the EVA tote in black or gray. I have been looking for a tote to travel with that would hold everything. This one looks perfect!
Love the Eva in grey. Working for the government, I take what opportunities I can to subtly emphasize the professional but tough, strong woman vibe to some of my military coworkers. In other words, when can I let my inner biker chick out and get away with it?
I’d choose the Eva to use as a chic bag for hauling stuff to campus. I love the durability of leather (despite the extra weight) and the moderate size of the bag.
I love the Eva – It would be great for off the clock, but I could also get away with it at work.
I think the Mia is brilliant, it looks so versatile. I think it would be perfect to pack for my conference this summer, packable yet will hold all the paperwork I will accumulate while there!
Eva Tote for sure! It’s a perfect match to my personality! :)
Love the Mia in Olive. The casual fabric is perfect for school. Plus, it could fit my laptop. Rock on!
