What tote bags are worth
What lifts the price
- Full-grain leather over coated canvas
- Structured bases that have kept their shape
What pulls it down
- Ink and cosmetic marks inside the lining
- Promotional and canvas totes, worth very little
Working out what yours is worth
- Check the label and feel the material
- Turn the lining out and inspect it
Getting it ready
- Empty every pocket and turn out the lining, then clean the base, which is where a tote shows its age first.
- Check the handle attachment points, since that is where stitching fails under weight.
