This is the most classic of tote shapes — a structured form with a boxed base and effortless appeal. Some of you may recognise it from my leather workshops. I’ve always been drawn to this silhouette for its function and quiet versatility, and I love how something as simple as the choice of buckle can bring a sense of elegance.

I’ve made this particular tote at a more accessible price point by keeping the body, straps, and internal pocket unlined. It’s a beautiful example of how design decisions can shift a piece — and a reminder that if you’d like a bag tailored to your needs, I can create a variation just for you. A higher-tier version might include lined straps or an internal lining, but what never changes is the quality of the leather.

Made from the finest Italian vegetable-tanned hide, this tote will soften and develop a rich patina over time. Because classics are classics for a reason.
