Don’t you hate a flimsy bag that loses shape and starts to tilt? Ugh! Me too! But this well structured COACH Ava tote won’t give you that issue. It stands upright, yet is still made from a structurally sound crossgrain leather. The texture is fashionable and eye catching while still being easy to clean.

The exterior pocket is nice and deep for a phone or even a mini tablet. Strutting this beauty along will be a breeze with it’s 9″ drop handles that are crafted from the same quality leather.

It’s perfect for a Sunday brunch or your go-to tote for every day use. The style is versatile and the quality gives you the option to tote it often. 

Interiorly this COACH bag is medium size. With a soft fabric lining easy on your hands as you reach in. You could easily fit an extra change of clothes plus all your typical travel needs.

It’s not over complicated with lots of pockets. More like an empty shell. However you’ll still find a small zippered pocket for your phone or other smallish items you want to separate. This would be a nice tote to slip in a clutch or mini handbag.

If you’re looking for a tote with more organizational options and pockets, this may not be the tote for you. But if you like an open space that you can customize with your various containers and cubes, this is a good fit.

Unfortunately reviews are mixed on this. Some users report receiving a “fake” bag. That’s sad and disappointing. Obviously it’s not going to hold up as well as an original COACH piece. My advice, if you’re not 100% satisfied with this bag when you receive it, return it.

This is the downside to buying online. You can touch and feel something before you buy it.

That said, more often than not byers are happy with this purchase and deem it authentic. The point is, don’t be duped, investigate ALL your online purchases for quality and authenticity.

At $140 depending on what deal you can snag, this is a pretty smart buy.  As far as looks go, it’s gorgeous and makes a statement without being loud.

$140 bucks for a stunning simple bag you’ll use regularly for various occasions, it might well be worth it. If you don’t love it, well send it back. No harm, no foul. A benefit of buying online.

User reviews on various websites average around 4.0 stars out of 5.

Some of the things that user reviews often brought up were:

• Beautiful statement piece
• Versatile & spacious
• Not always authentic

In a nut-shell, it can’t be overlooked that some reviewers believe this isn’t authentic. However, most people love this tote, and are very happy with it. As always, if you’re not happy with it, return it. It’s a risk worth taking, I’d say.
