Metallic Gold Chic Ladies Tote Bag*
The Metallic Gold Chic Ladies Tote Bag is a quilted tote for the fashionistas and trendsetters, and it is one of the few bags that manages to be genuinely useful without ever looking practical. Quilting gives the surface depth and light, so the bag catches the eye across a room rather than sitting flat like a plain carryall. It is available in gold and black, which means it works as the bright piece against a neutral outfit or the polished dark piece that goes with everything.
Inside, it is built like a bag someone actually thought about. It is fully lined, with a large interior pocket that keeps the flat things upright instead of face down under everything else. A delightful front pocket takes phones, keys or any variety of things you need to reach without stopping and rummaging. A zipper keeps all your belongings secure on a train, in a crowd or across a busy parking lot. And there is even a small, hidden zip pocket inside, the one you use for the personal items you want kept extra secure while out and about. Most totes have one of these features. This one has all of them.
At 18"L x 12.5" x 5.5" it is a real tote rather than a large handbag. That depth is what lets it swallow a laptop sleeve, a folder, a change of shoes or the day's shopping and still close over the top.
Then comes the detail that makes it hers alone. A single initial is embroidered on the bag, stitched in thread rather than printed on. One letter is a quiet kind of personalization: it never shouts, it never dates, and it never has to be explained. It also settles instantly whose bag is whose when a bridal party is getting ready in one room and six identical totes are lined up against the wall.
That is where this bag earns its keep as a gift. Bridesmaids, the maid of honor, a mother of the bride, a best friend, a sister, a colleague who deserves better than another candle. Every bag is embroidered in-house by HansonEllis, personalizing gifts since 1999, so one tote for a friend gets the same attention as a set for a whole wedding party.
Add her initial above, choose your quantity, and give a tote that looks utterly fabulous and works every day of the week.

Which one should I choose
Bridesmaid totes usually come down to how the bag looks when it is empty and how much it holds when it is full. This one is trying to win on both.
| Metallic Gold Chic Ladies Tote Bag | Choose it when the bag should look like a gift and work like a daily tote: quilted, fully lined, front pocket, large interior pocket, hidden zip pocket, zipper closure and her initial on the front. |
|---|---|
| A plain canvas bridesmaid tote | Choose that for the beach or a wedding-morning kit bag. It will not carry the polish this one has on a night out or at the office. |
| An unpersonalized designer-look tote | Choose that only if the bag is for you. Without an initial, six identical bags in one getting-ready room are a problem waiting to happen. |
For a bridesmaid gift that gets carried on ordinary Tuesdays, the quilted tote with her initial on it wins.

Questions shoppers ask about the Metallic Gold Chic Ladies Tote Bag
How big is the Metallic Gold Chic Ladies Tote Bag?
It measures 18"L x 12.5" x 5.5". The 5.5" depth is what makes it a real tote rather than a large handbag, so a laptop sleeve, a folder or a change of shoes all fit.
What colors does it come in?
It is available in gold and black.
How many pockets does it have?
Three. A front pocket for phones, keys or any variety of things, a large interior pocket in the fully lined main compartment, and a small hidden zip pocket inside for personal items.
Does the bag close securely?
Yes. It has a zipper to keep your belongings secure, and the hidden zip pocket inside adds a second layer for anything you want kept extra safe while out and about.
What is the bag made like?
It is a quilted tote, fully lined inside. The quilting is what gives the surface its depth and its chic, luxuriant look.
How much text can be embroidered on it?
One character on one line, so the personalization on this bag is a single initial rather than a name or a monogram of several letters.
Can each tote have a different initial?
Yes. Order the quantity you need, then email your list to [email protected] after ordering so each bag is matched to the right person.
Can I put a company logo on the tote?
Logos are handled as a custom order. Email a vector file (.eps, .ai, .cdr, .pdf or .svg) or a high-resolution image to [email protected]; a logo setup fee applies and not every logo can be reproduced.
Is there a minimum order for bridesmaid totes?
No. Order one tote or one for every member of the bridal party. For bulk pricing, please contact [email protected].
Can I see a proof before the bag is embroidered?
Yes. Proofs are optional and available on request for a $35-55 service fee per proof, and a proof adds extra days to production. Changes after a proof has been sent carry a $40 minimum updating fee, so check your initial before ordering, or call Customer Support at 310-878-9429.
How long does it take to receive the bags?
Standard production is 5 to 10 business days, then 2 to 5 days shipping in the US. Rush production is 3 to 5 days and expedite is 1 to 3 days. For a wedding, order 3 to 6 months ahead when you can.
Can it ship internationally, and can I return it?
International shipping is available by request; the cart calculates US shipping only and rush service is not offered on international orders, so email [email protected]. Embroidered bags are made to order and are final sale unless defective; a bag ordered without personalization can be returned within 14 days.
