Is the Tory Burch Ella crochet tote worth the price?

It is worth it if you want a textured designer straw tote for summer and will use it often. If you need a secure zip top or a structured bag, a canvas or leather tote serves better at the same money.

How does it compare to the woven Tory Burch Ella tote?

The standard Ella is a flat woven straw tote with a more even surface. This version uses a chunkier popcorn crochet stitch, so it looks more handmade and feels softer, but it snags more easily.

Does it have a zipper or magnetic closure?

It is an open-top shoulder tote. There is no zip closure, so keep valuables in an inner pouch.

What can I fit inside?

It is a full-size tote: a wallet, phone, sunglasses case, small pouch, water bottle and a light layer fit with room to spare.

How do I clean crocheted straw?

Spot clean with a soft dry brush and avoid soaking the straw. Store it stuffed and dust-bagged so the crochet holds its shape.

Crochet and straw totes are usually marked down late in summer and again in winter clearance. Watch the price history and buy below the recent range rather than at first sight.

Our take on the Tory Burch Women's Ella Hand Crocheted Popcorn Stitch Tote Bag

The Tory Burch Ella is a shoulder tote in hand-crocheted straw with a popcorn stitch texture, finished in gray. It is a warm-weather bag built for roomy, unstructured carry rather than structured organization. It has a small but strong rating base of 4.8 out of 5 from 6 ratings. Shoppers should compare the current asking price against the bag's recent range before buying, since crochet totes swing widely between full price and end-of-season markdowns.
