With a decade of fashion reporting under my belt, I’m pretty wary of promises brands make with flashy product names and cutesy influencer campaigns. I’ve tried “dream” ballet flats that cause nightmare-inducing blisters, and “essential” tees that unravel after a few washes. Don’t even get me started on pieces christened as “everyday” essentials…that, really, only work in one or two specific outfits. But this week, I’ve gotten to know Alex Mill's "Perfect" Weekday Tote lives up to the promises in its name—and then some.
