Yeah I think its different, I'd just be worried about snagging thats all, cuz sateen is very delicate, thats just my experience though, its definitely pretty!Hi CoachGirl12, I know it could get dirty. I'm really careful and I do switch my bags out often. I also have the Alex tote in pink. I can't keep both, I have to decide. I think the Bella Tote is more unusual. Thanks
