Melora Croc Embossed Leather Tote

I just purchased this bag in the dark indigo blue color. What a beautiful color! I had been eyeing it for a while and didn’t buy because I was worried it would be too large. When the Holiday sale event came up, I took the plunge. I’m so glad I did. Everyone has different criteria for their handbags. The Melora tote checked all of the boxes for me. The size of the bag is perfect. Not too big nor too small. I like that the leather isn’t so stiffly constructed and has some give to it. I also prefer having a phone pocket on the exterior. I find the Melora tote to be sturdy and the legs to provide ample support to keep the purse upright when it’s fully “loaded” with my everyday items…. even when I add my iPad to the mix. I have several Brahmin handbags and this one is my favorite so far. Prior to this purchase I was using my Fiora bag, which I admit, I don’t love. While it’s beautiful and nicely made, I’ve come to dislike how bulky and stiff it is. The Melora style is a departure from that, and is very comfortable for me to carry for an everyday purse.
