The Ecco soft seven shoes are fabulous. I have in several colors. The longchamps leather tote I have but I am not a fan. I Love the style and color. Took on a trip to New York. Used as a tote on the airplane but it was two heavy empty to use as a day bag. Much heavier than the nylon la pliage bags I love.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback with us Sophie! Always love hearing about our readers on the group experiences 🥰
