The Perfect Tote

April 4, 2014


Lately, I’ve been finding myself increasingly drawn to the simple, the neutral, and the classic. This new addition from Gigi New York is precisely those things, which is why it’s been my favourite, daily go-to bag ever since I received it. The tote’s rich camel colour literally goes with everything, and having my initials imprinted on the scrumptious slouchy pebbled leather (seriously impressed with the quality!) give it the perfect extra touch to make it my own.

    I love the tote! I’ve been on the hunt for a nice basic shopper style tote in a light tan or blush color and this one is just gorgeous! Love that your initials are on it, too!

    Although I like structured bags a lot more, this one is beautiful. You can tell the leather is really nice! And I love the idea of having your initials etched on the side

      Hello! I got the cardigan at a random boutique in Vancouver – unfortunately I don’t remember the name but it’s on Granville Street near Pacific Center!

    Hi girl, thanks to your blog that I just ordered my very first tote from Gigi.
    It looks stunning on your blog that I can;t help but falling in love with it. Quick question tho, is it too big for a 5″1 girl? I saw it fit perfect on you but I’m very petite. And what is pro & cont of the bag that I should be aware of you might suggest?
    Many thanks.
    xoxo
    Vicky.

      Hi Vicky! So glad you decided to get a tote from GiGi New York. I love mine and use it basically every day! I’m not much taller than you are (5’3) and it’s the perfect size to accommodate my needs. Pros are that it’s very light, goes with everything and is very well made. Possible con would be that it’s unlined so sometimes the raw leather can rub off onto things that you put on your bag (which you can easily just pick off, no colour transfer). That’s about it! Definitely recommend it 🙂 Hope that helps!
