Tote Bag

Hot pink down the spine, deep violet everywhere else, and no apologies.

This tote bag is size L, with a snakeskin-patterned finish. Tall, flat-sided totes like this one borrow their proportions from the shopping bag but carry themselves more formally. A vivid fuchsia band runs vertically down the center, its broad scales shading out into dark purple with black mottling. Two rounded handles in matching purple fasten with gold-tone hardware and pointed tabs. The sides are gusseted and the base sits flat. It is 10.5 inches long, 4.25 deep and 11.75 high.

Subtlety was considered, and politely declined.
