Tory Burch Mini Tote 145613-100 (Warm White)

What exactly is the leather alternative material made from?

The outer shell uses a USDA certified leather alternative containing 64% organic content. This innovative material provides the durability and luxurious feel of traditional leather whilst being more environmentally sustainable. The material is fade-resistant and maintains its appearance over time, making it suitable for regular use.

How do the dimensions compare to a standard handbag?

At 19cm length, 12cm height and 7cm depth, this mini tote is significantly smaller than standard handbags. It's designed to carry essentials like phone, keys, cards and small personal items. The compact size makes it ideal for occasions when you want to travel light whilst maintaining a polished appearance.

Can the bag be worn crossbody or just carried by hand?

The bag offers both carrying options. It includes 8cm handles for traditional hand carrying and comes with an optional adjustable strap measuring 56cm. This strap can be adjusted to wear the bag crossbody or on the shoulder, providing flexibility based on your needs and outfit.

What fits inside the interior pockets?

The interior patch pockets are designed for small essentials like credit cards, business cards, keys and coins. These pockets help organise contents and prevent small items from getting lost in the main compartment. The pockets are sized to accommodate standard wallet contents without adding bulk to the bag's profile.

Is the warm white colour prone to showing dirt?

Whilst light colours can show marks more readily than darker shades, this bag's machine washable care instructions make maintenance straightforward. The leather alternative material is designed to be durable and easy to clean. Regular gentle cleaning will help maintain the warm white appearance over time.

How secure is the magnetic closure?

The magnetic snap closure provides reliable security for everyday use. The magnets are strong enough to keep the bag closed during normal activities like walking and light movement, but allow easy one-handed opening when needed. This system is more convenient than zips whilst providing adequate security for typical daily items.

What's the difference between this and the original Ella tote?

This mini version maintains the style and functionality of the original Ella tote that has been popular since 2008, but in a more compact size. The key difference is the use of the innovative leather alternative material instead of traditional leather, making it more environmentally conscious whilst preserving the classic design elements.

How does the weight of 281g affect daily carrying?

At just 281g, this bag adds minimal weight when carrying essentials. This light weight makes it comfortable for extended wear, whether carried by hand or worn crossbody. The low weight also means it won't strain your shoulder or arm during long periods of use, making it practical for all-day wear.
