You May remember my excitement unwrapping this bag online on my Insta Stories? I was cooing all over the place! Tote bags are by far my favourite style and this one sent to me from Nadia Minkoff is even named after my hometown! The Richmond Tote.
It was a complete surprise when this bag arrived from Nadia. I already have two of the bags from her collection and you may have seen the Pimlico clutch bag that I featured a couple of weeks ago I use the bags constantly and they stand all the wear and tear of everyday life.
This Richmond Tote Bag is made of the softest leather
I’m on way to my local bar, a decision made to be a good opportunity to take these photos. A lure to the other half! Although it’s so windy my idea is not coming to plan! I can barely keep my eyes open due to the wind, but at least there’s no snow!
Getting onto the gorgeous handbag…
I like the handmade tassels on the Richmond, although they are removable if desired. The leather is super soft and it’s shut together by strong magnets. You will see in the photo further down. A removable lining clipped either side to hold all the everyday essentials.
I like the idea of removable washable innards in handbags. Mine get in such a mess! I have a few like this and It’s so much easier to keep them clean.
Grey is such an easy colour to work into your wardrobe. I think this tote bag works well with the creams and tan that I’m wearing today.
Still super windy walking through the park but I did catch someone watching!
This Crane Just standing there without a care in the world, watching my every movement!
So I took shelter from the wind under this tree and watched back! The other half huffing and puffing waiting to get to the pub! I haven’t stopped wearing these faux suede leggings from Zara! I’ve left shopping links below for you but they’re only available in dark brown or black now. I’m tempted to buy more.
Do take a look at the other bags and fine costume jewellery on the Nadia Minkoff website. The Richmond Tote bag is available in other colours too. Let me know what your favourite is?
And if you missed my unwrapping of this gorgeous tote bag on my stories you can find me on Instagram here it would be great to connect.

The bag is gorgeous, but I’m loving the whole outfit. I like the fur on your coat and those amazing shoes. Great location for a photo shoot too. And what a treat to see that bird! Beautiful!
You had me on removable, washable innards! Perfect. After reading the report in the Times about the inside of our bags containing vast quantities of bacteria this seems like the perfect solution. Am on the look out for a new bag so will let you know how I get on. #TweensTeensBeyond
Love the entire ensemble, but that bag and the vest with fur are absolutely breathtaking. A removeable lining is one of those ideas that makes you wonder, “why didn’t I think of that?”
You can never go wrong with grey!
The bag fits perfectly with your outfit and looks very soft. I love the fur on the coat though! Thanks for sharing with #bloggersbest x
Beautiful Bag, just love those tassels!
Beautiful bag! I love the color and tassels. A removable liner is such a clever idea!

Such a handy idea! I don’t know how my bags get into such a mess! Thanks for stopping by xx
What a perfect purse because it will go with everything. I think grey is one of those colors that works for both summer and winter—at least I hope so since I just got one!!

The bag is super Laurie – a really useful style and the colour would go with so much – especially the light pastel Spring colours coming in. I love the way you’ve style this. It’s a gorgeous outfit. Those shoes!! xx
I love this bag. The colour and material is beautiful. I just sold a tote bag on eBay. I couldn’t get on with the thin straps it had but this one has much nicer straps.

The tote is gorgeous, love the color of it! #AnythingGoes
Lovely bag, the colour and all, Laurie. I am sure you will get a lot of use out of it. The removable lining is such a bonus. Love your outfit
Wonderful tote, and outfit too, Laurie. I hope you and your husband enjoyed the pub! xox

I’m a big fan of leather bags. I carry a big leather tote for work and its wearing so much better than my previous plastic one. Keep the tassels on. Perfect boho. Love those and great length for the bag. It’s been designed well hasn’t it.

What a lovely bag, Laurie, and how fitting that it was named after your hometown! We did have some stinging wind here last week as well, which left me all teary-eyed. Can’t wait for Spring to begin! xxx

Me niether Ann! Here’s to warmer weather coming! xx
It’s beautiful Laurie, you’re a lucky lady. I love that you’ve paired it with neutral creams, I’ve never have thought about doing that, but it looks super. Hope you had a nice drink, I’m off out tonight, which is rather unusual for me on a Friday night! Have a lovely weekend Laurie, whatever you do.
