Tory Burch Romy Bucketbag

I ordered the Romy bucket bag and the large tote as an early Christmas present from me to me. I am not sure about the large tote yet but I do like the bucket bag! I am a sucker for a bucket bag and this one is a good size, I can fit my kindle paperwhite, notebook, wallet, phone, makeup bag. I am probably going to mainly carry by the top handle but it looks ok on the shoulder. I am a little confused by the side ties, not entirely sure how to tie them/get them to lie down. I have other bags from Tory Burch, an ancient quilted Kira, Lee Radizwell shoulder bag, and then the small Lee bag. The leather is good quality (my dog likes the smell apparently) and it seems like it could take a beating like my other Tory Burch bags. The logo is bigger than I thought but I also don’t mind the logo because my name starts with a T so I consider these logos to be a lil monogram over free advertising.
