how it's made
Dark blue denim is quilted in radiating lines with heavy duty thread in shades of red, orange, and gold, for a textured, high-relief effect. The back of the bag is bright red vinyl, with a single deep pocket. The bag is fully lined in diamond-quilted navy blue cotton, with a generously sized welt zipper pocket. 

Layers of interlining and double stitching throughout make the 517 tote sturdy enough for daily use, but not heavy or cumbersome to carry.
