Tano - The Boogie and Up Close and Personal
Left: Up Close and Personal; Right: Boogie Bucket
This is a rare moment on Bag Snob when we feature a bag EVERYONE can afford. I do apologize for not being considerate enough to offer affordable options in my Back To School story but you must now forgive me because I do aim to please =) I have seen Tano bags at Fred Segals and it always catches my eye for its styles, they are hip, friendly, young and have great colors, but it's the quality that gets me. They are extremely well priced, like I mean, couple hundred bucks cheap, so you have to figure that something's gotta give. The leather is thin-ish which is fine because it makes it lighter but the interior is unfinished, which I cannot stand. The slight gloss on some of the leather looks good from far but is far from good, you know the type. The hardware is unpolished, I don't mean they aren't shiny (which they aren't) - hardware is crucial, it should look almost like [COLOR=#333333! important][COLOR=#333333! important]jewelry[/COLOR][/COLOR] but this looks so far from that that it looks like actual hardware from the hardware store. And the standard on anything sewn, no sloppy seams, which this does not meet but it is mostly on the inside, so for the price I guess it might be acceptable to some. You can see why this would normally not make it on to our site but as far as super [COLOR=#333333! important][COLOR=#333333! important]cheap [COLOR=#333333! important]bags[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] go, this one at least gets major points for design. And for college students, affordable and hip might be all you're looking for. You can find a local retailer on the Tano site or get them at Must Have Bag which is the only web retailer for them. The Up Close and Personal with the handy outer pockets is $199, and the Boogie Bucket (which I like more) is $249. All their bags come in a rainbow variety of colors.

They have some fabulous bags! I am on the hunt for a dark brown one for winter. I also have a wallet that is fabulous, it can also be used as a little clutch for evenings. God knows I could not carry that piece of luggage with a little black dress for dinner.

They really are well priced. I know they can take phone orders. I'm searching for the brown bag I want giving them the name and "poof" a few days later I have it!

Darlene is my middle name, not my nickname
they do have a really cute greeter
and tons of other cool stuff don't be afraid to come on by
Lord knows I spent half of my Florida budget in there in July. I love that store! The greeter's are the best though, especially the chocolate one that wants ME to have him. ;-)
Oh, I must not forget the help they have in there, they are the best.
