The Weekday Tote

“i really hate to say it (i really, really do): but sometimes a purchase WILL change your life. in this case, it's my new tote from alex mill (with a signature "Q" monogram – charming, no?!). this doubled as a birthday and promotion gift for myself. i've had my eye on it forever and finally pulled the plug last may. it's an incredibly well-made thing. the material is heavy and (sort of?) waterproof, with both shoulder straps and handles, a key ring, and a small pocket inside. i feel just as confident carrying this into a nice restaurant as i do schlepping it to work, taking it on the plane, or stuffing it with this month's grocery haul. i opted for the "weekday" size – large enough to stow my computer, lunch, and subway shoes, but small enough to not be cumbersome and awkward. god it's fucking god. i love it more than anything. i hang it on a hook in my room as a piece of decor.”

“This bag is 100% worth the hype. It’s the perfect tote. It keeps its boxy structure, fits an incredible amount and the straps are thick, so they don’t painfully dig into your shoulder. So many different colors to choose from and I love the playful monogram option. You can really make it your own.”
