My Mary Poppins Ambition Fulfilled: The Fiorelli Carlton Tote

This baby is the product of a long search for a bag that would be good for work and weekends whilst also being cute, sturdy, and large enough to have some Mary Poppins-esque magic about it. A working zip was also on the agenda in my search, after spending a month convinced I'd dropped my purse a few streets back since the contents of my bag was pretty much free game. Despite the hefty checklist, the Fiorelli Carlton Tote pulled through: I treated myself for the first time since starting work and dayum did it feel good!

Shopper and tote bags are everywhere at the minute, and I can see why: if your handbag is anything like mine, it's never half full. Mainly consisting of junk, my bag often takes on the role of the miscellaneous drawer: half-working headphones just in case the current ones bite the dust? Five combs? All that change you mean to put in a pot so that it doesn't just weigh you down? Sure. Why not. In you go. 

With this in mind, the Fiorelli Carlton seemed to fit the bill. With three compartments instead of one to reduce to urge to, well, make your life a whole lot harder, this bag essentially forces you to keep things tidy. The straps are the perfect length for carrying or wearing, plus there are some great zips and detailing: I'm kind of obsessed.

It's a smart bag, but not too stuffy looking: I'll definitely be sporting this with shoes other than heels! If you're after something versatile and cute that scores highly on the Mary Poppins Scale, check this bag out.
