The trend cycle changes on a dime, but if there’s one thing you can always rely on it’s a functional tote. Heading to the grocery store for a last-minute pick-up? Grab your tote on the way out. Going to the office and meeting up for drinks later? A medium-sized bag can hold a change of shoes and your laptop. Totes get a bad reputation for being a flimsy thing you get free with purchase, but the best ones are refined and structured without a hefty designer price tag.
Enter: the Patricia Nash Woven Leather Rometta Satchel, a high-quality and chic woven leather bag that competes with its designer counterparts. Best of all? It’s a fraction of the price, and exclusively on sale at QVC.
Okay, at $170 on sale, the satchel tote is still on the pricier side. But! It’s half-off from its original price ($349) and the quality lends itself to the forever-bag territory. It’s made of 100 percent leather and features a woven exterior that feels just as luxurious as it looks (It might remind you of one ever-so-trendy designer bag). It’s the quintessential fashion meets function bag that’s equal parts stylish and practical.
The bag’s features speak for itself. It has multiple interior storage compartments and a rear zipper so you can walk through the city with ease knowing your items will stay intact (and avoid misplacing your items into the tote bag abyss). It’s adorned with four feet to avoid scuffing once it’s placed on the ground. What’s more, the bag is available in stunning neutrals—namely, naturale (a caramel brown), black, and latte (a light beige)—which makes styling them with any outfit a no-brainer. And it features two straps, a top handle, and a removable cross-body for versatile styling that can be customized. Check, double-check, and triple-check.
Wear it with a breezy dress and sandals for your end-of-summer fête, style it with trousers and a blazer for in-office days, or grab it on the go to your next errand—the woven leather and metal hardware adds an elevated yet effortless touch to any outfit. It’s cliché, but the Patricia Nash Woven Leather Rometta Satchel ticks off all the boxes of what a great companion bag should be. As an exclusive to QVC, the tote is sure to go fast, but that shouldn’t make the purchase any less thoughtful. Luckily, the retailer offers free returns so you can try the bag out for yourself if you’re still on the fence.
