Is the Lola a tote or a purse?

It is a small structured crossbody tote. Buyers describe it as a midsize purse for daily use rather than a small tote.

Yes. The interior and exterior slip pockets are sized for a phone, though the exterior pocket is narrow.

Can the strap be removed?

Yes. The adjustable crossbody strap attaches with swivel clasps and comes off, so you can carry it by the top handles.

Magnet or zipper closure?

Both are offered. Buyers who want security tend to pick the zippered version; the classic uses a magnet.

Is the leather lined?

No. It is unlined full-grain leather, so the natural suede side shows inside.

Will the color match the photos?

Usually, but some buyers report a difference, such as Night Owl looking black.
