poor quality
This felt cheap and wasn’t worth the anniversary sale price. It’s more like a $30 bag in my opinion. Returned.

Happy so far with this Madewell Leather Tote
I have used this tote only once so far, so can't speak to its durability. But I like that it's lightweight yet structured, has both short and long handle straps, and is of a color I can use. I look forward to using it more.

Smart, casual, pratical
Color is lovely and goes with everything. Large and roomy. It is convenient a water bottle fits and stays stable. Bag itself is light weight but keeps its shape and not floppy. Straps are comfortable and practical. The only thing I question is it really leather? It doesn't smell like leather but Madewell has it labeled as real leather. Guess I will see how this wears over time. For the price, it can't be beat.

fell short
Good looking bag. Unfortunately, the quality is lacking for Madewell standards. The straps are too thin and it feels cheap. Sadly had to return.
