You May remember my excitement unwrapping this bag online on my Insta Stories? I was cooing all over the place! Tote bags are by far my favourite style and this one sent to me from Nadia Minkoff is even named after my hometown! The Richmond Tote.

It was a complete surprise when this bag arrived from Nadia. I already have two of the bags from her collection and you may have seen the Pimlico clutch bag that I featured a couple of weeks ago  I use the bags constantly and they stand all the wear and tear of everyday life.

This Richmond Tote Bag is made of the softest leather

I’m on way to my local bar, a decision made to be a good opportunity to take these photos. A lure to the other half! Although it’s so windy my idea is not coming to plan! I can barely keep my eyes open due to the wind, but at least there’s no snow!

Getting onto the gorgeous handbag…

I like the handmade tassels on the Richmond, although they are removable if desired. The leather is super soft and it’s shut together by strong magnets. You will see in the photo further down. A removable lining clipped either side to hold all the everyday essentials.

I like the idea of removable washable innards in handbags. Mine get in such a mess! I have a few like this and It’s so much easier to keep them clean.

Grey is such an easy colour to work into your wardrobe. I think this tote bag works well with the creams and tan that I’m wearing today.

Still super windy walking through the park but I did catch someone watching!

This Crane Just standing there without a care in the world, watching my every movement!

So I took shelter from the wind under this tree and watched back! The other half huffing and puffing waiting to get to the pub! I haven’t stopped wearing these faux suede leggings from Zara! I’ve left shopping links below for you but they’re only available in dark brown or black now. I’m tempted to buy more.

Do take a look at the other bags and fine costume jewellery on the Nadia Minkoff website. The Richmond Tote bag is available in other colours too. Let me know what your favourite is?

And if you missed my unwrapping of this gorgeous tote bag on my stories you can find me on Instagram here it would be great to connect.
