Ashby

Women's leather tote

I purchased the Carl Friedrik Ashby tote in black with the pink lining in autumn 2019. This business tote is the embodiment of simplicity at its best!

After my previous tote of 30 years was no longer viable, I began searching for a business tote and finally found the Ashby.

Before I used this stunning tote, I applied the leather cream purchased with this bag and have had no problems.

Sleek. Practical. Excellent craftsmanship. Smooth and reliable zipper. Substantial leather. No problems with the lining. I put my purse in the Ashby tote along with a zippered portfolio for my papers and there is plenty or space for other items.

Customer Service was enormously helpful.

Potential ways to improve this sleek bag include adding an outer pocket for keys and other small items and allow the potential to attach a removable strap to carry cross-body. I use a wheelchair and unless someone helps me, it would be easier to maneuver with a longer strap.

Speaking of zippered portfolios, should Carl Friedrik come out with one, I’d be extremely interested. I remain old-fashioned and don’t use a laptop.
