Compared within this brand.
| Ami De Coeur Striped Cotton Tote Bag: Choose this if you want a utilitarian everyday tote with a straightforward look, done in black-and-off-white striped canvas (85% cotton blend) with black cow leather trim and two long shoulder straps. It suits carrying needs that fit its open, single-compartment design with a leather interior slip pocket, in one size measuring 39 x 34 x 21 cm. Note that the open-top design has no closure, so it is not suited to securely storing belongings.[1,2,3,4] | Raffia Tote Bag: Choose this if you want an oversized, roomy woven tote for carrying essentials from beach time to urban life — the retailer characterizes it as practical for both. It is made of 100% raffia with black cow leather trim on the handles, top rim, and Ami logo, measures about 14.5 inches long by 12.25 inches high by 6.5 inches deep, and includes a large inner patch pocket. Note it has an open top with no visible closure, is unlined, and should not be washed, since water can damage the raffia structure.[5,6,7,8,9] | Paris Paris Handbag: Choose this if you want a small, minimalist suede shoulder bag with a Parisian look: it measures about 4 inches high, 8.25 inches long and 2.25 inches wide, in genuine cow-leather suede with gold-tone hardware, an adjustable leather strap, a magnetic flap closure, and a suede-lined interior with slip compartments. It comes with a signature dust bag, and one reviewer praised its clean design while finding the heart-and-A logo hideous, so the prominent emblem is worth considering before you buy.[10,11,12,13,14] |
