Need a Classic Tote: Try the Monogram Vernis Brentwood
The Monogram Vernis Brentwood is a relatively new entry into a very competitive market. Tote bags are not exactly hard to come by, so the question we asked regarding the Brentwood is this: is this bag really good enough to be yet another designer tote bag on the market? The short answer is, yes it is!
Tote Bags
Tote bags are amongst the most popular form of handbags worldwide. They have been described as the “quintessential women’s bag” as well as “a symbol of the complexity of roles that women play.” This style is certainly iconic, and there is not shortage of players looking to play the role of icon.
The basic style of the tote is one large pocket (sometimes with a few small inside pockets or dividers) with a simple fastener (zipper, tie, or clasp) with a short simple handle for carrying at the side. The reusable shopping bags that are springing up everywhere like dandelions are tote bags. And, this is an apt illustration, because a large reason why tote bags are so popular is their extreme functionality. Tote bags can be used as a shopping bag, a gym bag, a fashionable purse, a book bag…as just about anything.
The Brentwood: Does it Hold Up?
The first question one must ask of the Brentwood is whether or not it brings something unique to the table. I would argue that it very much does. The secret is in the lovely Monogram Vernis Leather.

It is this unique blend of styles that the Monogram Vernis Brentwood brings to the classic tote style.
