Marc by Marc Jacobs Sheltered Island Tote: Bag Review #bagreview

A new addition to the Marc by Marc Jacobs collection, the Sheltered Island Color-blocked Tote is a great go-to carry-all bag. This spacious tote features two top handles, detachable as well as adjustable cross-body strap, a top zipper closure and is available in different colours and sizes. Marc by Marc Jacobs, a diffusion line of the ever-popular classic designer brand Marc Jacobs, offers us an alternative and more affordable handbag collection. The Marc by Marc Jacobs Sheltered Island Leather tote is an ideal day bag that will fit all your essentials but still look super stylish swinging from your arm .

How big are they?

These cute and functional wear-forever totes are available in different sizes. My Theresa offers the bigger version of the tote, which has dimensions of height 24cm-9.52″ x length 36cm-14.25″ x depth 13cm-5″ allowing it to fit most laptops. This sized tote is the ideal office bag as it is actually roomier than it appears from the outside. On the other hand, for more minimalistic styles, Net-A-Porter showcases the smaller version of this fun tote. With a height of 22cm-9″, width of 30cm-12″ and a depth of 9cm-4″, there isn’t a huge difference between the two sizes but the smaller interior will ensure the bag is lighter to carry and is ideal for traveling.

What colours are available?

Available in a yellow, beige and ivory colour-blocks or in a black-grey-white style, these Marc by Marc Jacobs Sheltered Island totes are suitable for any tastes. Sugar Delights will love the burst of summer the yellow tote brings to an outfit, whilst Confident Classiques will prefer the professional and simplistic black and white version.

What are they made of? 

Made from cow leather, these handbags are certainly durable. The interior is lined with logo-embossed fabric lining and the bags have cute protective feet to shield it from any nasties. The bag has a push lock closure, practical adjustable shoulder strap, two front pockets and a zippered pocket at the back.

Style Tip: 

Pair these gorgeous day bags with a casual t-shirt and jeans but add a blazer and heels for a sophisticated edge.
