My favorite color is Green. Usually a very saturated Kelly Green is what I am drawn to but lately, Mint has been catching my eye…A lot. So when I saw the Tartine Tote in Sheer Mint with the new arrivals last weeks I had to see it. I am also on a Tote handbag kick right now so I really had to see it.

The color is a very pretty mint and it is a nice enough bag but it’s not what I am looking for. The bottom doesn’t have any feet so it will get dirty if set on the ground. The leather is extremely stiff and will show creases quickly, if that makes sense. The leather also looks like it will scuff easily.

There are two ways to close the bag, with snaps and a hook, which changes the shape of the bag. 

The interior has a cute little pouch but no zipper or open pockets. I have most of my items in their own little pouches but this Tote is one big bucket.

I don’t mind the size and it does fit nicely over my shoulder.
Not sure why I didn’t check this out fully when the Colorblock Tote came out but this is a definite pass for me. Kate Spade Saturday has a Square Tote in Windowpane Leather that looks promising and comes in 5 different colors. It also has two pockets at the side which I think is genius.
What do you think of the Tartine Tote?
