Is the Riley Small Tote big enough for a tablet?

No. It is a small tote built for phone, wallet, keys and a small pouch. A tablet or laptop will not fit comfortably.

Can the strap be removed?

Yes. The crossbody strap detaches, so you can carry it by the top handles alone.

Is the straw body durable?

It holds up for seasonal use, but straw can snag on rough surfaces and is harder to clean than leather. Avoid overloading it.

Does it close securely?

It uses a magnetic snap, which is quick to open but not secure. Keep valuables in an interior pocket or zipped pouch.

How does it compare with a leather tote like the Coach Mollie?

The Riley is smaller and lighter and has a summery straw look. A leather tote offers more structure, capacity and easier cleaning.

The tote and its detachable crossbody strap. Dust bags and other extras vary by seller.

Our take on the Rebecca Minkoff Riley Small Tote

The Rebecca Minkoff Riley Small Tote is a compact leather-and-straw carryall with a magnetic snap closure and a removable crossbody strap. It is small enough to carry by the top handles and light enough for all-day wear, but it holds only the essentials: phone, wallet, keys and a small pouch. Against structured leather totes from Coach or Kate Spade, it trades capacity for a softer, more summery look. Owners like the mixed materials and the versatility of two carry styles; some find the straw panel delicate and the opening stiff to work with.
