This Thirty-one Around Town Tote review features my thoughts on this timeless vegan roomy everyday bag of high quality at an affordable price. It looks more expensive than it actually is. Read what else I found.
Disclosure: Ad. The around town tote is a sample from thirty-one. The post is not endorsed by them. I wrote it entirely myself and it represents my own 100% honest opinion.
Everyday Women Need an Everyday Purse
What made me try this sample from My 31 was the cool, smart look of this so called Around Town Tote. It is fascinating that its style works as a briefcase for the office, shopping at the mall, and for carrying sun cream, towels, sunglasses, magazine, etc. to the beach.
When I opened the package, and first held this vegan bag in my hands, it was hard to believe it’s not leather. The material has the same glow and pebble like real leather. It is well sewn and has nice details like the front pocket. The tan trim makes it look posh. The eight studs have a nice square engraved which ups the style of the item. The tan, blue, white color combination is an eternal classic.
Features to Love
What I love about the handles is that they are long enough to function as shoulder straps and short enough to serve as handles (see photos).
When you travel light and have a lot of business trips, you need a tote that takes your from the plane to a meeting, sightseeing and shopping, and to the beach. It also should look dressy and stylish, but not over the top. This thirty-one everyday tote does exactly that. It permits to carry a lot. The interior has a nice random polka dot print lining. There are two open pockets for glasses and cell phone and a zipped pocket for the wallet.
Casual style with a sophisticated touch perfectly describes this shopper.
You can even have it personalized or your monogram added!
Price-Performance Ratio
This vegan bag costs $78 and definitively is worth its price. Because it is for everyday, the price-per-wear is below a dollar after 79 days. Recall less than $1 per wear is my criterion for a great performance. Thumbs up.
How I Used this Vegan Tote
I wore the carry-all to the office with my baseball jacket (see photo above) over a fit-and-flare summer dress. The jacket served to stay warm in the AC at the office. After work, I went out to dinner on the deck to enjoy the sunshine. Because it was a beautiful warm summer evening, I took the jacket off. Doing so resulted in a casual posh summer look.
Who Would Love this Around Town Tote?
The all-around town tote is a Must-have for all women who want a chic professional looking vegan tote. This product is perfect for every woman who wants/needs one posh casual go-to-bag for all kind of life situations (work, vacation, shopping, play-date). It’s also great when you don’t like matching your carry-all to your outfit. Its classic style takes you from work to vacation. You won’t need another purse except occasionally a clutch for a formal wedding or other festive events. I can recommend this practical beauty to my bff. You can buy this everyday tote at thirty-one.
