Fashion Math: Is A Tory Burch Canvas Reversible Tote Worth Nearly $200?

If you’re an L.L. Bean canvas tote kind of girl, it’s a tough pill to swallow – but Tory Burch is asking $195 for this Reversible Canvas Tote – probably because it’s much more than a beach bag. It’s sturdy and chic enough to wear to work, on the weekends, shopping, etc. Plus, the bag has two great reversible sides – so you’re really getting two bags in one. We’re huge fans of Tory Burch (and of a great quality bag), but we had to crunch the numbers before justifying this purchase.

In the end, the numbers don’t lie: a bag that last forever is definitely worth 10 that don’t. (If you don’t agree, just think: are you still wearing your most expensive handbag purchases? Are the cheapies collecting dust in the bottom of the closet?). Plus, a bag that you will schlep everywhere from the office to the airport and beyond should be well-made and good-looking. Tory Burch’s Reversible Canvas Tote fits the bill.
