My Newest Edition: Tory Burch Mini Ella Quilted Tote


I am a huge Tory Burch fan so much to the point that I've started to build up quite the little collection (I already have my eye on this Tory Burch baby bag for when I have little ones down the road 3-4 years from now, don't judge). I already own a leather Tory Burch Neutral Color Block Satchel that I do adore, but after years of wearing it out, I finally decided to add a middle man bag that I can swap it out with on occasion. It wanted something sturdy, trendy, and that could hold it's own when fighting the 4 elements.

After a ton of searching I started to narrow my focus on the thought of a Tory Burch nylon bag. I am a complete nylon newbie and the only thing I had seen in department stores thus far did not impress me. My main source of hesitation was the possible "cheap" look of nylon bags I had the unpleasure of viewing in the past. As I do when I am about to make a significant purchase, I research, research, research! After reviewing several bags one finally caught my eye and I couldn't let it go. It was the New Quilted Mini Ella Tory Burch bag.

What originally sold me was the clean diamond pattern and after a few days of drooling I finally clicked the purchase button. Now that I have received my bag I am totally floored! This. Bag. Is. Awesome. The black gives a classy, mature appearance. The patent leather is glossy and sleek. I even love how the front logo is muted enough to be present but not shouting the designer logo (some things should just be admired in their quietness). It is the perfect size to carry life's necessities and then some. This tote really elevates my style and can be worn so many different ways. It does come with a $225 price tag, but I deem it worthy in it's value. Already receiving compliments and I'm excited to have a bag that can pack a punch and take a punch!

    1. Sounds like you got a lot of nice bags! And yes storage can be an obstacle depending on the various sizes in your closet! I like to have my bags visible so I can coordinate. An inexpensive way is to use those cloth pop out storage boxes and face them open side out so you can see them. Try lining them atop your closet shelves.

      If you don't have space there, you can also use the hanging storage shoe cubies and fit bags in there too. Over the door hooks are also a great way to store your bags. Walmart has a really nice door purse hanger: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Mainstays-Organize-and-Store-Handbags-and-Purses/17301122

      The Ghana Africa sounds really awesome! Do you have a picture?
