Tory Burch Blake Small Tote (Angel Blue, 25.4cm x 20.3cm)

What are the exact dimensions of this tote bag?

The bag measures 25.4cm in length, 20.3cm in height and 11.4cm in width. These compact dimensions make it perfect for daily essentials whilst remaining elegant and manageable. The size is ideal for carrying your wallet, phone, keys and small cosmetics without creating bulk or weight that becomes uncomfortable during extended wear.

Can the crossbody strap be completely removed?

Yes, the crossbody strap is completely detachable, allowing you to use the bag as a traditional tote when preferred. The strap is also adjustable, so you can customise the length to suit your height and carrying preference. This versatility means you get two bag styles in one - a classic tote for formal occasions and a practical crossbody for hands-free convenience.

How secure is the magnetic closure system?

The magnetic snap closure provides excellent security whilst allowing quick and silent access to your belongings. The magnets are strong enough to keep the bag securely closed even when full, preventing items from falling out. Unlike zippers that can snag or break over time, magnetic closures are more durable and reliable for long-term use.

What type of leather is used in this bag?

This bag is crafted from high-quality leather in the Angel Blue colourway. The leather is designed to age beautifully with proper care, developing character over time. To maintain its appearance, avoid contact with water, keep away from heat sources and condition periodically with leather conditioner as recommended in the care instructions.

How much weight can this bag comfortably hold?

Whilst the bag itself weighs only 453g, it's designed to carry daily essentials comfortably. The compact size naturally limits what you can fit, which prevents overloading and maintains the bag's shape. The sturdy construction and quality hardware can handle the weight of typical daily items like wallet, phone, keys and small cosmetics without strain.

Is this bag suitable for both casual and formal occasions?

Absolutely. The sophisticated Angel Blue colour and classic design make it versatile enough for various occasions. The detachable strap allows you to adapt the carrying style - use it as a tote for professional settings or switch to crossbody mode for casual outings. The premium leather construction and Tory Burch branding add elegance suitable for formal events.

What storage options are available inside the bag?

The bag features a main compartment with magnetic snap closure plus a centre zip compartment for additional organisation. The zip pocket is perfect for securing small valuables like keys, cards, or coins that you need to access quickly. This dual storage system helps keep your belongings organised and prevents small items from getting lost in the main compartment.

How should I care for this leather bag?

Proper care involves avoiding contact with water and keeping the bag away from direct heat sources. Periodically condition the leather with a quality leather conditioner to maintain its suppleness and appearance. Store the bag in a dust bag when not in use and stuff it with tissue paper to help maintain its shape. Regular conditioning will help the leather age beautifully and extend the bag's lifespan.
