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.

The Eva in Black! It’s the perfect bag–professional, but with a touch of personality. I love the zipper details! And it’s great for commuting. I just love any bag that is large enough to accommodate my laptop, and I appreciate the pockets because I am one of those people that jams everything into her bag.
I love the Eva in black. Great rocker looks, and hopefully the design means I wont be constant searching for my stuff. Looks like its the perfect size for me, and if it can stay organized, so much the better.
I think the Mia is great! It would be perfect for everyday at the office, or casual weekends as well.
I like the Eva one because of the zippers and the size!!! Thanks for the giveaway!!
I’d pick the Eva in gray,because it’d be perfect for all the stuff I lug to work
Eva! I love the hardware and it looks big enough for all my briefs, books, memos, forgotten packs of gum, long lost lip glosses, etc.
I love the MIA, versatile color and I like that the lining is light.
I had actually been thinking about getting the blue Eva – I love the fact that is work appropriate but with a little bit of flair but not visible brand names!
I prefer the Eva in gray. I love the zippers and the size of it. I also think that the leather will age bettern than cloth.
Thank you for the opportunity!

I practice equine law, somewhat of a niche market, and the Mia tote in olive has those elements of equestrian style that can take it from a day at the office to mingling with clients at a polo match – classic structure, gold tone hardware reminiscent of bridle hardware, leather trim, and casual-chic canvas. Love it.
I like Eva, it’s kind of punk but still classy enough for the office
I love the Eva. I love the color and style.
love the mia tote, the fabric is more to my taste and would look professional carrying charts to my home visits with my clients. thanks for the giveaway!
The Eva tote is perfect for bringing files to court!
The Mia Folding Tote really catches my eye. I just finished my last exam of my first year of law school and decided to finally part ways with my old college bookbag. I have been searching all over (mostly stalking Corporette) for something that will be as functional to help me transition into my first (unpaid!) internship. The crossbody strap looks comfortable, and the bag will hold my laptop without looking bulky. The Mia Folding Tote would be a stylish staple in the professional wardrobe I’m slowly building.
Ooh, I would take the Eva in grey. My husband and I are going to travel overseas in the next year to see his father and I would love a sassy bag for the trip!
Eva in cognac or black because I’m constantly digging for my keys/cell while running from the office to pick up the kindergartner or well, anywhere. Love the utility of the pockets combined with the fun fashionable details that we all try to squeeze into our work wardrobe.
I would love the Eva. It would be a great purse to go from office to night time. Much better than my tried and true patent leather purse!
Rock chic, Eva is so cool and I love it can held by the carry top handles or the cross body strap. I live in NYC and am usually on the go and Eva bag could hold everything I need for the day in style.
I like the Eva in navy and the Mia in black. Hmm, my final pick will be the Eva.
I would choose the Eva because, like others said, it’s rocker-chic but still professional!
Love that the Mia looks professional enough to bring to work and cool enough to want to carry!
Would LOVE LOVE the Eva to carry to work. My current purse is falling apart and looks like the Eva would hold my laptop and file folders.
I’d choose the Eva because I like the placement of the pockets. I also need a more formal bag right now more than I need a casual bag.
The blue Eva bag is professional but with an edge to it that shows you’re not afraid to push the envelope a bit. Would love to carry this into my conservative office this summer.
Eva in black! rockerbeautiful.
I pick the Eva tote. The leather looks so soft and i love the look of the zippers!
Both bags are lovely, but I would definitely choose the Eva, it’s my kind of style, and the sleek style of the bag and the lovely basic black color means that it will match with just about everything in my wardrobe! :) Thanks so much for this amazing giveaway! I would be thrilled to win.
I love the Eva in cognac. Such a great color!
I like the proportions on the Mia in Olive.
I absolutely love the Eva! The zippers and metal detail gives it a great edge :)
I love the Mia Folding Tote because of its versatility-you could carry it was an assortment of outfits and wear an assortment of colors and it would still match! Also looks like it would transition well through the seasons.
I love the Eva for the rocker chic vibe–professional, big enough to haul all my big kid job files, but young enough to keep the kid inside alive.
This is a tough one, but I think the Mia in olive. I’m not feeling the zippers on the Eva. I must not be rocker chic.
I would want to win the Mia folding tote in olive because it would be perfect to carry everything to work in. Plus its so cute.

The Eva in Navy. Navy is my new favorite fashion color.
I’d love the Mia. I’d use the open version for when I’m carrying around baby’s things and small version when out by myself!
I like them both but prefer the Eva. The Eva not only matches most of the clothing I own but seems very functional. As someone who commutes and has to bring lunch, a bottle of water, and umbrella, sometimes my laptop and walking shoes (I change my shoes as I enter the building) a big bag is a must. Its perfect for the working, stylish, commuter.
I like the Mia Folding Tote – seems to be versatile – can dress up and down for work / casual.
Love that Eva–I could look like a total badass, even while toting around a mess of file folders and my toddler’s half-consumed bag of goldfish crackers.
