PU Leather Tote Bag in Dark Red with Zip Top and Charm

A dark red PU leather tote bag that closes with a zip

This is a medium tote in dark red PU leather with two handles long enough for your shoulder. It zips shut across the top, and a charm on a braided cord hangs from one handle.

The supplier gives one measurement: the bag is 30 cm long. We tell you below what we know and what we do not.

At a glance

The piece: a medium tote in PU leather

The bag is sold under the label Whimsical Wallets. Our supplier lists the material as PU leather, the bag size as medium and the origin as imported, without a country. PU leather is imitation leather: a coated fabric made to look like leather.

In the photos the surface is smooth with a light grain, and vertical stitched panels run down the front. The handles are attached with stitched tabs.

Who it's for

For you if you carry more than a phone and keys but less than a laptop bag. The photo of the open bag shows notebooks, a tablet-sized case and cosmetics side by side. And if you like a bag that closes, the zip is the reason to pick this one over an open tote.

Closer look: handles, zip and lining

• Two long handles that fit over the shoulder (photos)
• Zip across the top (photos)
• Light grey lining with a divided middle section and side compartments (photos)
• Vertical stitched panels on the front (photos)
• Charm on a braided cord with brown and gold-tone pendants (photos)
• PU leather, medium size (supplier)

Materials and build: PU leather outside, lined inside

The outside is PU leather, according to the supplier. It does not name the lining material or the metal of the zip and rings, so we describe only what the photos show: a light grey lining and gold-tone hardware. Gold-tone describes the colour, not the metal.

Size and dimensions: 30 cm long

The supplier gives the length as 30 cm, converted by us from 11.8 inches, and calls the bag medium. Height, depth and handle drop are not listed. In the photos the handles are long enough to wear the bag on the shoulder over a coat.

Does your laptop fit? We cannot promise it. Measure your device against the 30 cm length; for anything wider, choose a bigger bag.

Styling: one dark red thing

The photos show the bag against a beige coat and suit, and that is where dark red looks good: next to camel, cream, grey, navy and black. It gives a plain outfit one point of colour.

If the charm is too much for you, it hangs from a ring in the photos and looks removable. We cannot confirm that from supplier data.

Occasions

Work, study, a day of errands, a weekend in the city. It is a day bag. For an evening out you will probably want something smaller.

Care: no instructions from the supplier

The supplier gives no care instructions for this bag. For PU leather the usual approach is a soft, slightly damp cloth; try it first on a spot that does not show. Keep the bag away from heaters and long hours of direct sun.

The wow detail: the charm on the handle

A braided cord with brown and gold-tone pendants hangs from one handle. It appears in every photo, including the plain product shot, though the supplier does not list it as a separate item. It is the one playful thing on an otherwise calm bag.
