Tory Burch Gemini Link Tote Review

It’s no secret that I love a good handbag. I often get asked about my favorite styles & brands and this is one bag that could not be missed. The Tory Burch Gemini Link Tote is a great style perfect for work, travel or everyday. See my full review below!  

TORY BURCH GEMINI LINK TOTE

DIMENSIONS: 11.5 X 15.5 X 5.7 INCHES
WEIGHT: 1.1 LB
PRICE: $195.00

QUALITY

I’ve been using this bag for the past few months and have been very impressed with the overall quality and ease of this tote. The outside is covered in a glossy canvas which is surprisingly more durable than I originally thought. Not to mention, extremely easy to wipe clean and water resistant.

I also like that the bag has some shape to it. I’ve had other tote bags, and they seem to slump or droop when sat down. This bag keeps its shape and the sides do not appear to fall in when I’m not carrying it.

SIZE

The sizing on the Gemini Link Tote is generous and very spacious. This bag is ideal for a (large) everyday tote, work bag or carry on. As you can see, I can carry all of my everyday necessities with plenty of room to spare. I have been able to also carry my 15″ laptop in this tote in addition to my wallet, small makeup bag and planner.

PRACTICALITY

The price of this bag is pretty fair considering it’s a Tory Burch. The size, durability and overall structure of this tote have honestly surpassed my expectations. I prefer to use this as an everyday bag, but I also used it over Memorial Day Weekend as my overnight bag. I do wish the straps were a bit thicker, but so far they seem to be pretty durable.

I like that it comes in several other colors available at Nordstrom. This ivory color is so pretty for Summer and since it’s easy to clean, I don’t have to worry about my denim permanently staining the bag. The French Grey is also a great year-round color option.

Everything in my bag is linked below! Have a great Wednesday. xx Ashley

    I love the gemini tote!! It comes in a bunch of different colors and it’s kind of like a Goyard dupe as well!

      Hi Judi,

      Thank you for your question! It’s a dark navy, but honestly I’d wear it with black too. I hope that helps! xx Ashley

    Thank you for the post I’ve had my eye on this tote for a while and I think I’m sold now. Can you share details for your necklaces?

      Hi Cassandre,

      Are your handles shredding? I have not experienced that with mine, but I would take it back to Nordstrom. They have the best customer service and will probably let you exchange it for a new bag or give you your money back. Gosh, I hope that does not happen to mine! It has been such a great carry-on tote for travel. xx Ashley

    Found the bag but it says it’s the Ivory Gemini Link Tote? Is that the same one you have? As you said you had the white one!
