A tote is the least designed object most people own: two panels, two handles, and nothing else. Which is exactly why the small decisions register. This one has two.
The first is the strap, which ties rather than fixing, so the bag can be carried at the shoulder, across the body, or shortened to the hand without any hardware at all. Daley uses tie closures everywhere, on the shirting, the waistcoats, and the dogi trouser, and this is the same thinking applied to how a bag is worn rather than to how a garment fastens.
The second is the lining. Corduroy is a cut-pile cloth and an unusual thing to put inside a bag, where nobody will see it and where a plain cotton would have done the job. Lining a tote in cord costs money, adds weight, and shows only to the person opening it, which is a fairly complete statement of what this house thinks details are for.
Sizing and how it is worn
Carried on the tie strap, which adjusts, so it works at the shoulder or across the body. Softly constructed, so it takes the shape of what is in it rather than holding one of its own. We do not hold dimensions and would sooner measure the one in the store for you than guess at them.
