Hazel Large Leather Tote

For being a $300 purse, I expected much better quality. Unfortunately, it falls short. The woven material looks visibly glued in areas, which cheapens the appearance and raises concerns about durability—like it could easily come apart if it snags on something. While it is a large tote and does offer plenty of space, that’s about the only positive. Overall, you can find a better-made bag with higher-quality materials at a much lower price point.

I have been so wildly impressed with this bag. I use it nearly every day for work. Just big enough to hold my laptop, gym clothes, lunch, etc without looking overly bulky. I stretch it to the limit and it’s proven its durability, though I suppose it’s possible the dark color is more forgiving than the lighter shades. A great dupe for the more expensive Bottegas.
