I haven’t been able to find The Row XL Park Tote anywhere, and after (much) consideration I don’t think that the leather base would make for a practical beach bag; I would be devastated when it eventually got wet. I paid a visit to my local Saks expecting to walk out with the Saint Laurent Panier tote in black, but the round base doesn’t collapse – it sticks out very far from the body even when empty. My sales associate recommended the Loewe Raffia Basket Tote and I immediately understood why it’s a cult favorite; I just need to find it with black leather trim which is proving challenging. Celine also has some great raffia bags – I had no idea that the Big Bag came in this texture. The search continues.
