“Smartlooking and professional”

“I purchased a very similar Latico tote from Sierra a couple of years ago and have received many complimentary comments about this red tote. I love it and use it every day. When I saw this new one I thought it was time for a black one, the size was right, and it seemed well thought out. Unfortunately I could not make friends with this tote. Too serious looking - maybe the burgundy one would have been a better choice. It was also the fact that the lining was quite boring, beigy/brown background checkered in black and occasional red lines. The material was not lined up straight. The inside had a chemical smell that might go away, but I would have preferred the rich smell of leather. These are very small details, and in general it is a smart tote for a professional, so I am giving it 4 stars.”
