Review time! Coach Signature PVC Zip Tote

The bag that I am about to review today is near and dear to my heart. This is a bag that I currently own and use as my everyday bag. I got this bag several years back as a Christmas presents.  It has only been about the last 6 months or so that I decided to use it more often, more like everyday. Today I am reviewing the Coach Signature PVC Tote.  This tote is very similar to the Coach Signature City Tote, it’s nearly identical in shape, although the City bag is a bit larger in size.. The following are from my own personal experience with this tote.

Who has been seen with Coach bags in general?

People like Jennifer Lopez, Michael B. Jordan, Paloma, Megan Thee Stallion, Kiko Mizuhara, Cole Sprouse along with Bob the Drag Queen, just to name a few, but many more have been spotted with a Coach bag, although not specifically this tote.

The key features

The main body of the bag is made of a canvas (pvc) material with leather  straps, with leather accents to attach the straps. It is also accented with leather along both ends of the zipper.  There are also leather accents along the bottom corners to protect the main body of the purse. The interior is lined with textile and boasts 3 pockets: 2 smaller ones,and a single. At least one pocket may be dedicated to holding your phone, and depending on what phone you have, either the large or one of the smaller pockets may be used for the phone, and perhaps as a suggestion, one of the smaller pockets may be used to carry a portable charger along with a charging cord if you tend to lose charge on your phone frequently. The tote comes in a variety of colors.  Other smaller accessories are available, such as a small wallet, which can hold your identification, cash and cards or other small items. Other details include:

Handles with a 8 3/4″ drop
10 1/2″ (L) x 10 1/4″ (H) x 4 1/4″ (W)

Depending on the color of the tote, the bottom corner accent pieces may or may not be available to the customer.

The size of this bag…wow!

The first thing you will notice about this bag is its size. It’s big!  Luckily, it’s not so big that it will be overwhelming and overpowering to your complete look. One of the best things is that due to it’s shape is that the bag will easily fit snugly under the shoulder without feeling bulky at all. This is primarily because of it’s triangular-shaped profile, fits quite snugly, even when the bag is pretty stuffed.  From bottom to top, this beautiful bag narrows gently, allowing for generous room along the bottom in the purse’s interior. One of the best things about this bag is that its roomy enough to fit a small laptop. I have even taken a pair of backup shorts and a shirt to an event, and there was still room for more such as my wallet,sunglasses, keys, and phone, but I didn’t push it at that time. I’m sure I could fit a pair of jeans alone! Without giving away my actual pant size, let’s just say that I am about the average size for an American woman. Actually, this bag is roomy enough to fit everything but the kitchen sink without it looking like it has everything but the kitchen sink. It can securely hold a small laptop up to 12 inch screen, an ipad/tablet and still have room to fit other items. I just wouldn’t recommend trying to use it to carry a laptop, maybe just a tablet or other smaller pieces of technology.  One thing I can definitely say about his bag is if it were to be a vehicle, I would definitely see this purse as a small SUV.

The not so hot parts

One of the downsides of this bag I have seen so far is I do wish that the single compartment inside had a zipper to keep some of my contents more secure.  Don’t get me wrong, the compartments inside are indeed roomy, but I know that some people have their preferences on zippered compartments. Even though they are quite roomy, the other two smaller compartments would be best if they didn’t jut out quite so far out into the main space of the interior. Not only does it take up precious space inside, but I feel it also takes away from the interior aestheitcs of the bag itself. At some venues, this bag may not be allowed to be brought in due to the clear bag policy in some locations.  Please check ahead of time to ensure that it is safe to be brought inside the venue.

My final take

This bag is a beauty! There isn’t much to not love about the bag. Now that I am using the bag everyday, I am taking it on all of my errands, to go grocery shopping, for doctor’s appointments, out for dinner and the movies, even to major sporting events where allowed.  It’s quite versatile! If you have smal children, in addition to your everyday essentials, this bag will still have room to fit several small toys a sealed snack-although, I would not recommend open snack packets. Should the exterior of the bag get soiled, using a small amount of soap and water or other gentle cleanser should do. This tote has been a joy to have in my life as I can take it virtually anywhere!  The best part for me, personally, is that this bag was given to me with love.
