It is definitely classic, and I really like the shape and size! I'll have to do some research on this one! Thanks for the suggestion!

How about this YSL tote! I have used it straight since i got it in beginning of march 
and I absolutely love how extremely light it it and i dont certainly baby it.. its my everyday work bag 
It comes in beautiful colors.. mine is grey in terms of comfort i prefer it to my LV neverfull GM. I think the straps in ysl is less harsh on my shoulder. They are a bit wide which I appreciate.

I resisted totes for a long time, but in real life (mine anyway), very large bags that can fit larger items are a necessity. I recently purchased three pre-owned totes: a Fendi Selleria Anna hobo in rosso, a Celine Sangle in black, and a The Row Carry-All in ivory. I'm very happy with the first two so far. The Row bag is on its way to me. Good luck!
This Chanel tote is on my radar! Can you give us a modeling pic? I have been swayed into small bags in the last year, and do have stress in downsizing everything, so a small tote seems perfect. And! I will be in Paris this summer, so am hoping to see this tote, and if I love it, buy it. It really is one of the less expensive Chanel bags, but probably the most useful to me.
This must be a popular bag! I'm stalking it too! LOL! I plan to get ithe larger version (or some other similar black Chanel tote) when I go to Paris next week.
I haven't had a chance to see this in person. Does it have a center zip compartment or is it just one open compartment with zipper & slip pocket on the sides. Having a center zip compartment is a hard requirement for me so fingers crossed.
I would be very interested to know how good the stock is in Paris on all the Chanel totes, since you will be there soon. By the time I am there, a price increase will have taken effect, based on all I hear.This must be a popular bag! I'm stalking it too! LOL!

Why don't you watch a you tube video of the larger size tote? I watched one on the small size, and it was open inside, but did have side open and zip pockets, plus a really great organizer, which would be an asset.
On another note, I recently happened on the Faure le Page thread--I had never even heard of this brand before. It is touted as a better quality brand than Goyard, and very under the radar, but a 300 yr old brand. So when I am there I will seek out this store(on Rud Cambon) for a look-see.
I'm happy to share pictures and intel when I get there. When is the price increase due to happen?
I don't know the name of this tote. I've only seen pics on TPF. Do you know the name. If it doesn't have the zip section I'll pass. I know exactly what works for me in a tote and won't settle ot the bag will frustrate me.
And thanks for the lead on Faure Le Page!
Enjoying this thread since I'm always looking for a good work tote
I use a leather garden party most days. I love it but not ideal if you need to carry a laptop
I also find that large hobos can work as totes... So I also use a medium BV campagna too that holds a lot without looking too big
Considering a Longchamp Rousseau
I'm another one stalking that Chanel tote ... It's a great design but may be a little to flashy for my office... But then I could alley use it on weekends
Please let us know what you end up getting!

I'm adding in my Massaccesi love!

I have two different totes, the Angelica and the Arianna. Massaccesi is 100% bespoke, made in Italy. You choose the leather, hardware, lining and any extras.
The Rue Angelica is 13" x 11" and the Arianna is 14" x 10

The name of the bag is the CC box Tote, and it does not have a center zip section, based on the you tubes I have watched.

Concerning the price increase, from what I have read on the Chanel forum, it will happen some time in June. I read 7%, 10% so who knows? That will negate some of the VAT refund, plus in claiming the amount(and I do want to buy other things!) I may have to pay additional tax, and then... what if I cannot find the bag in Paris? Do I need to rethink this, and try to find now?
It's funny you mention the Garden Party. Although I have no need(and cannot afford, or don't want to afford) a Birkin or Kelly, the Garden Party is(relatively speaking) a reasonably priced Hermes, and only this past week did I think maybe I need one. I will not stand in line for hours in Paris waiting for a chance for a bag, but thought I could just roll the dice at the airport on the way home, check out the duty free Hermes shop, and if if if there was a Garden Party, in a beautiful color, buy it.
I did watch more you tubes of the CC Box tote and am really loving it. It is not as flashy as other Chanels, but yes, it could stir up some talk at work.
I have an everlane Petra tote which I use to carry laptop every day! It does not have a designer price tag but the quality is in par with my higher end items. And I am loving how the leather on the bag is aging! I recommend everlane tote to anybody, one of my favorite bags ever! [emoji7]

Thank you for sharing the details on the CC box tote barbee!
Last year I got my Hermes Evelyn at the airport and I was able to get exactly the color I wanted plus the price was about 30% les than US... But it is up to luck too
Massaccesi, definitely. You can pick your style, leather, color, Length of straps, pockets, zippers. Ck it out.
