While a tote offers practicality, why not make it luxurious?  The Ryder tote shown here in allover genuine, persimmon ostrich.

Ryder is an extremely functional tote, while not being too oversized.  Four pockets surround the front and back of the bags.  Each pocket measures 9" w x 9" h and is fully lined in suede.  The bag is accented by 2 generous, hand cut tassels each made out of nearly one square foot of leather, capped with an ostrich floret.  The interior is fully lined in suede and has a 9" w x 8" h zip pocket and 2 4" w x 5" h open, slip pockets.  As always, a penny is sewn in for good luck in the Italian tradition.

Bag body measurements:  17" w x 13" h x 5" d; Handle drop length:  8"
