- Is the Barocco Athena tote big enough for a laptop?
- Yes. At 39 cm wide, 30 cm tall and 15.5 cm deep it fits most 13- to 15-inch laptops along with a pouch and water bottle. The open top means a laptop sits unsecured, so a sleeve helps.
- Is it real raffia or fabric?
- The body is a woven fabric with a raffia look, not woven palm leaf. That makes it lighter and more uniform than natural raffia, but also less resistant to rain and stains.
- Does it have a zip or closure?
- It is an open-top tote with no zip across the main compartment. Small items are best kept in a zip pouch inside.
- Can it be worn crossbody?
- No. This tote is carried by its top handles only; there is no detachable shoulder strap.
- How does it compare with Versace's leather totes?
- It is lighter and more casual than the leather La Medusa or Greca totes, and more seasonal. The leather options cost more and handle weather better.
- How should I care for the raffia fabric?
- Keep it out of heavy rain and wipe marks with a soft dry cloth. Store it stuffed and in its dust bag so the structured shape holds.
- Where is the Versace Barocco Athena Raffia Medium Tote Bag cheapest?
- At YOOX, for $976.00, as of our latest check.
