The Long Hunt for a Worthy Tote Ends With a Newer Name

A Robb Report writer says a long search for a daily carry is over, and the tote that ended it comes from a young label rather than one of the old houses. By the writer's account, it holds up on the small points where most bags fall short. That's a familiar search from Palm Beach to Naples, where one bag has to handle a Worth Avenue lunch, a Fifth Avenue South errand and the trip home from the Miami airport on the same kind of day. When someone who spent years turning bags down finally settles on one, we pay attention, and we'd rather hear about a newer maker getting it right than a famous one living off its name.
