Is the DeMellier Midi New York worth it?

It is a well-made leather tote from a brand known for structured bags at a mid-range price. If you want a leather tote that works for work and weekends and do not need to carry a laptop, it is a reasonable buy.

Does it fit a laptop?

No. DeMellier states the Midi New York does not fit a 13-inch laptop. The bag is 15.7 inches wide at the top but only 8.7 inches high and 5.9 inches deep.

What is the difference between the Midi New York and the New York tote?

The Midi is the smaller version. It has the same shape, handles and strap setup but less capacity, so it suits everyday essentials rather than work gear.

Can it be worn crossbody?

Yes. It comes with a long strap with a 19.3-inch drop, which is adjustable, so it can be worn crossbody or on the shoulder. The top handles have a 4.7-inch drop for hand or elbow carry.

A phone, wallet, keys, sunglasses, a small pouch and a water bottle fit comfortably. There is an interior slip pocket and a zip pocket for valuables.

DeMellier runs seasonal sales and occasional promotions, and prices on resale sites like Vestiaire Collective vary by seller and condition. Check price history before buying.
