So the Tory Burch "Ever Ready" is just their Neverfull rip off, yes?

[Anonymous]

Saw this today and actually think it's kind of crazy that it took this long for a brand like this to do this:

https://www.nordstrom.com/s/tory-burch-ever-ready-zip-tote/7235275

I've always been baffled by the popularity of the Neverfull, not because it's not practical but because it's such a silly think to spend 1-2k on, and yet the knock offs I've seen before have always been actual knockoffs (like fake-LV brand bags) or super cheap unbranded versions for like $60.

This looks like a reasonably good quality bag at a much friendlier price point, and even has some of the same styling with the logoed pattern. I actually can't stand that logo pattern on the Neverfull which is one of several reasons I wouldn't buy one, but a lot of people seem to like it. I do think this bag nails the size and proportions, specifically -- to me this is the perfect drop on a tote this size so that you can tuck it securely under your arm for travel or shopping, but not so high that it's uncomfortable if you have a lot of stuff in there.

Anyway, maybe this has been around for a while and I missed it, but given how many times I've seen people on here debating whether the Neverfull is "worth" the price, thought I'd throw this out as a good alternative for someone who likes the style and design but doesn't want to spend a grand or more on a tote bag.

I see the Tory Burch SM team has found the forum.

Pretty much. A $300 bag that is still ugly. But go off!

What are you talking about? There are a million Neverfull knock offs out there.

I’d say it’s trying to rip off goyard more than lv

Tory Burch? They have not been relevant since 2007. Yawn.

Definitely looks more Goyard rip off than LV. But name sounds more LV rip off.

I have never been a fan of TB. But I sort of like this bag for the price point. I desperately need a tote, and don't like the LV and don't like the price point on the G.

OP here. I definitely don't work for Tory Burch -- I don't even own any of their stuff (I don't like labels and they plaster theirs on everything). I was just struck when looking through totes how much this one reminded me of the Neverfull. Though agree upon second look that it's more of a Goyard knock off with a name meant to evoke the Neverfull.

I was actually looking for a good quality straw tote bag for summer when I came across it -- if anyone has one of those to recommend at a similar price point, please do.

I saw a woman wearing TB shoes with that big stupid medallion on the front. Somehow logo shoes are 10x tackier to me than a logo handbag.

I got the off-white color in the medium size last summer and carried it everywhere. The leather is such good quality.

I think the Neverfull interior lining is better quality than the TB, and the Neverfull does not have the zip top like the TB.
