- Is the Florentine Large Tote good for work?
- Yes. It fits a laptop, planner and daily essentials, and the zip top keeps them secure. It is heavy, so it suits people who do not carry it long distances.
- How does it compare with Dooney & Bourke's pebbled-leather totes?
- The Florentine uses vegetable-tanned Italian leather that patinas and feels more premium. Pebbled leather is more forgiving of scratches and usually lighter.
- Does the leather scratch easily?
- Yes. The smooth Florentine finish shows scratches, scuffs and water marks readily. Some owners treat this as patina; others find it hard to keep looking new.
- Does it have a shoulder strap?
- No. It is a top-handle tote with no shoulder strap included, so it is carried by hand or on the forearm.
- What fits inside?
- A laptop, planner, water bottle and pouch fit with room to spare. Interior pockets hold a phone, keys and cards.
- How should I care for the leather?
- Keep it away from water and rain, and wipe it with a soft dry cloth. Condition it occasionally with a leather cream to slow drying and cracking.
