This Malborough Iphis Burgundy Tote Bag is a medium-sized shoulder tote made by Liberty at Simons, constructed from polyurethane-coated cotton-linen blend fabric with genuine leather accents, a polyester lining, magnetic snap-button closure, grab or shoulder handles, and an interior patch pocket. It is intended for everyday use and work commuting, with dimensions of 11" (28 cm) height, 12.5" (32 cm) length, and 6.5" (16.5 cm) width, and it includes a signature dust bag. User reviews note the bag is durable, easy to clean, and favorably compared to higher-priced coated-canvas totes, though some report corner wear after several months.

Product Insights

The Malborough Iphis Burgundy Tote Bag by Liberty is a heritage-driven, non-logo alternative to totes like Longchamp Le Pliage or Tory Burch Gemini, wrapped in a c.1902 Art Nouveau print that reads as a deep neutral across seasons and outfits. Its coated cotton-linen shell resists light rain and wipes clean, while the reinforced base keeps it upright and the 24 cm handle drop clears a winter coat, making it a light, capable companion for work or flight with room for a 13-inch laptop, A4 documents, and a water bottle. The tradeoff is in its compromises: fixed handles only with no crossbody strap, a magnetic snap that leaves the bag partly open, an open interior pocket, and corner scuffing with regular use—requiring rotation and dry-cloth care to protect the leather trim.

Verified claims

Design heritage
The Iphis print traces to Ianthe, a c.1902 Art Nouveau wallpaper Liberty revived as a modern monogram.
Competitive comparison
Buyers call it a solid non-logo alternative to Longchamp Le Pliage and Tory Burch Gemini totes.
Travel carry
Buyers report it is light enough to serve as an in-flight bag and stays upright when stuffed.
Color versatility
The burgundy Iphis print reads as a deep neutral that pairs with black, navy, camel, forest and blush.
Cleaning
Coated exterior resists rain; clean only with a non-abrasive dry cloth as moisture can damage leather trim.
Corner wear
Corner scuffing appears after a few months of regular use; rotating bags extends life.
Closure and interior
Magnetic snap closure leaves bag partly open; interior pocket is open.
Logo presence
Buyers call it the non-logo alternative to Longchamp Le Pliage or Tory Burch Gemini totes.
Durability
Owners report corner scuffing after months of regular use; the coated shell still handles light rain.
Fit and closure
Fits a 13-inch laptop and A4 documents with room for a water bottle; the magnetic snap top does not zip shut.
Handle drop
24 cm handle drop clears a typical winter coat; there is no crossbody strap like the Latico Roam.
Material
Main shell is 41% cotton, 41% linen, 18% polyurethane; wipe-clean and rain-tolerant.
Shoulder fit
24 cm handle drop carries on the shoulder and clears a typical winter coat
Shape retention
Reinforced base keeps the tote upright on its own, even when stuffed full
Base structure
A reinforced base panel keeps the tote standing upright when empty or full.
Work bag capability
Fits a 13-inch laptop and A4 documents with room for a water bottle; magnetic snap closure.
Styling versatility
Burgundy reads as a deep neutral, so the Iphis print spans white summer looks to all-black evenings.
Print identity
The Iphis print is a non-logo alternative to Longchamp Le Pliage and Tory Burch Gemini totes.
Rain resistance
Buyers report the coated exterior handles light rain.
Crossbody carry
Fixed handles only; no detachable strap for crossbody carry.

    I think it’s even prettier than the Goyard print

  • Liberty London brand overview and quality comparison

    Liberty of London is a great British heritage brand, famous for their elaborate prints. They aren't bag specialists---they also make dresses, scarves, etc. I love this bag and think it looks so classy! Goyard does not have any particularly special quality status. It's just plasticized canvas. So I would not imagine this varies much from a Goyard tote in that respect.

  • Everyday durability experience

    I’ve only had it for a month but so far so good. I have a preschooler and it has ended up in the sandbox at the playground a few times. Easy to clean. It’s been in the rain with out issue. I love it.

  • Positive quality feedback

    My mom has a tote bag for an insane deal we found at homegoods and I’d say the quality’s quite good! Go for it if you love it.
