Would you carry it? The ASOS Croc Effect Holdall

ASOS Collection Croc Effect Holdall – $60.34

The croc up close

Sometimes you’ve got to get stuff from point A to point B.  And sometimes carrying those various objects in your arms is just a little too cumbersome.  It’s at that juncture you either turn to some kind of tote-bag… or a holdall.

Holdalls  are often considered to be duffels or weekend bags.  The terms are interchangeable now, being that most don’t consider a string or rope cinched end a requirement for a duffel.

At just over $60, this one from ASOS is incredibly affordable.  Made of polyeurothane with a croc pattern stamped into it,  it’s just under 20 inches long with a depth of about a foot.  But is it too… y’know… pursey?

Does the pattern make it a little too high fashion, or does the fact that many a man’s leather watch strap will come with a croc-embossed look nullify that point?
