I own an Ali (whiskey) and I own a large Ergo tote(turq). If I could only have one it would be the Ali, hands down! I also think the Ali looks awesome in the white.
I have a Vintage Ergo Tote 11011 and I have a white Ali and a Whiskey Ali. I love them both. They are two totally different bags. I am wearing the Vintage Ergo Tote mostly now as it is my favorite bag. Love the Ali too. I just want a Mandy in Brown. I am writing Reed Krakoff at Coach tomorrow requesting it.
I have both turquoise ergo tote and white Ali. White Ergo tote is spring/summery. I think white Ali is year round (some will not agree) it's not a bright white, not quite winter white either. Both are great.
