How much are they asking for the Derby Tote? It looks like a nice MFF tote. I've been comparing it to my 30381 UECNH Bonded EW Town Tote Retro Borough.
They are similar bags but the Derby looks bigger/taller, perhaps it is a NS tote? And I like that it has a snap closure unlike my Retro but it has cloth handles and I prefer leather, although the Derby's handles appear longer. I can wear my Retro as a shoulder bag but not with a thicker coat.
They both have colorful suede lining and I love that. The Derby also appears to be pebbled leather and I like that (and smooth, glove-tanned leather) much better than crossgrain; but the leather may be thin, which would be lightweight but I prefer thick leather. Has anyone held/touched the Derby Tote yet? How substantial does it feel?
Here are pictures of my Retro tote so you can see the differences I am talking about, it is warm gray with oxford blue lining. The leather looks stiffer and thicker, I don't know if the Derby could stand up by itself and it might puddle; I don't care for bags that puddle!
