Do not choose oversized totes with formal gowns.
Keep the silhouettes more clean, as totes often appear best with minimal clothing.
Include a small scarf or leather tag for a personalized touch.
Hold it with a lot of structure; confidence is the best accessory.
A multipurpose leather bag is quite luxurious - it has the feel of being expensive without too trying.
Caring for Your Leather Tote Bag
Your tote deserves care. To extend its life:
Wipe it with a soft cloth regularly
Condition it occasionally with a natural product
Store it flat so it can breathe in a dustbag
Don't use any oils or chemicals that are harsh
Vegetable-tanned leather softens and develops a rich patina over time; your tote will become more your own and more luxurious every time you use it.
