Big but Light Weighted Tote Bag?

Hi,

I'm after a bag like this one https://www.oroton.com.au/estate-tote-large-port-blue-black-… but <$100-ish. Or something like this: https://www.katespade.com/products/cameron-street-medium-har…

Do you reckon I should…
a. wait for further sale
b. just buy the oroton one
c. try another brand?/check out the dfo

My last bag while it looked great was very heavy even on its own, so I'm after something big-ish but super light - and not pink.

Other potentials:
Collete sometimes has 40%

What's with the tiny spaghetti bra straps? Is it strong enough/bad for your shoulder?

Comments

  • Oroton seem to have very bad reviews, though a lot of reviewers only have that one review… https://www.productreview.com.au/p/oroton.html

  • You do know that Oroton (and Kate Spade) and Colette are in two different leagues, right? You definitely aren’t going to get a designer leather tote bag for less than $100 …

    • We're just looking at the style. I'd get Kate but appear to have commitment issues.

  • my work colleague has one of these

    I was very impressed with the style and quality.

  • Have you had a look at the Oroton store at Essendon DFO?

    • I'm hoping to check out Nunawading soon.

  • IKEA bags

  • Go wander around the DFO stores when they have the sales on.

    Make a fashion statement, get an ikea bag.
