Handbag Review: Tory Burch Block-T Tote

Every handbag lover remembers their first Tory Burch purchase. Mine was a wallet. After saving all my babysitting money and doing a ton of research, my first purchase after graduating high school was the Tory Burch Zip Around Wallet on eBay. I was smitten!

Over the years, I’ve slowly added a few more Tory Burch pieces to my collection. I usually don’t like big, obnoxious logos and tend to keep my bags more on the minimal side. This Block-T Tote has been my all-time favorite Tory Burch.

Though it’s a bag from a few years ago, I was able to find the exact style in eBay’s large inventory of Tory Burch. They are also running a promotion between now and 2/14 where you can get up to 30% off this selection of Tory Burch.

The Block-T Tote is ideal for travel, work or if you love to carry a large handbag. The leather and suede combination really makes this bag stand out. I personally love that it has a very small “Tory Burch” logo near the top. It’s subtle, but the gold detail looks really nice. The zipper pouch comes with the Block-T Tote and is ideal for your makeup or in-flight essentials. This bag is sturdy and will not slouch in when you set it down. Highly recommend this or the all leather version if you are looking for a new carry-on tote or work bag.

To this day, Austin and I use eBay regularly. Austin uses it more for tech or hardware purchases, but I often take a look at their handbags or jewelry. Did you know that 81% of all merchandise sold on eBay is new and available with the “Buy It Now” option?

If you’re new to eBay, here’s a few things to keep in mind:

  1. USE A FILTER: Nope, not an Instagram filter folks — simply adjust the eBay search filter to fit your shopping needs. I prefer to adjust my search to “Condition: New” and “Location: US Only”  items.
  2. “BUY IT NOW”: When I’ve shopped on eBay, I always look for “Buy It Now” items. That eliminates the bidding process and makes for a quick and easy transaction.
  3. KNOW THE EXACT STYLE: If you’re looking for handbags, shoes or jewelry, it always helps if you know the exact style name or number. I always get asked about my Tory Burch Block-T Tote and I have found a few pop up on eBay over the past several months.

Have you ever purchased anything off eBay? I have my eye on these sunglasses. How fun for summer right? xx Ashley


Thank you to eBay for partnering on this post. All selections and opinions are my own!

      Hi Natali,

      Thank you so much for your kind words! The two textures help elevate this bag to an everyday look, rather than just a tote for work! Love it! xx, Ashley
