Totes

TOTES

Built to be used daily—and hold up over time. These totes are made from full-grain leather, reinforced where it matters, and designed with one goal in mind: something that wears in—not out.

Most leather bags are made to look good when new. This leather breaks in like a good pair of boots—softer, darker, and more comfortable with time—but the structure stays strong. All of my totes feature:

• Full-grain leather from U.S. tanneries

• Reinforced stress points

• Simple construction (fewer failure points)

• Built one at a time in my small shop

After a few years of use, the leather softens, darkens, and takes on character—but the structure stays solid where it matters. Each one is built one at a time. I try to keep a few in stock for someone that needs one right away, but most are made-to-order.

The 3 options:

CLASSIC

Simple, clean, and built for everyday use.

The Classic keeps things minimal while still using the same materials and construction as everything else.

• Front pocket

• Interior pocket

• No closure strap

• Reinforced build with hand-stitched base seam

A good fit if you want something durable without extra features.

HERITAGE

The most popular configuration.

Adds a secure closure while keeping the same overall design.

• Front pocket

• Interior pocket

• Closure strap with LOXX fastener

• Reinforced build with hand-stitched base seam

This is the version most people carry every day.

SIGNATURE

Built with more time, more detail, and premium materials.

Signature totes are fully hand-stitched and made with vegetable-tanned leather, which ages differently and develops more character over time.

• Same layout as Heritage

• Fully hand-stitched construction

• Vegetable-tanned leather

Designed for long-term use and a more traditional,

heirloom-style build.

*cattle brands are only used by request and are not always available*

All of these totes are built to last and to gain a rich patina over time.

SIZING: Currently available in a medium (most popular) and large size.

Both sizes are designed for everyday carry. If you’re not sure which would fit your needs best, I’m happy to walk through it with you.

COLORS / MATERIALS: Available in a variety of full-grain leathers, including:

Oil-tanned leather (Classic and Heritage builds) - usually available in copper and charcoal with other colors available from time to time.
Vegetable-tanned leather (Signature builds) - these are custom builds with a wide variety of options.

For Classic and Heritage Totes, color availability varies depending on the hides I have in the shop at the time. If you have something specific in mind, feel free to ask. If you don’t mind waiting a little longer (and possibly paying a little extra depending on the costs), I can even special order a custom hide to be used for your tote.

For Signature Totes, you will be able to choose between Horween Derby (available in several colors) or a premium Italian vachetta from a variety of prestigious tanneries. Other options can also be discussed.

PRICING: Most builds fall in the $225-$300 range depending on size and configuration. You can visit my price list page for more information or contact me to go over options and pricing.

ORDERING: If you’re local, you’re welcome to reach out and set up a time to see leather options in person. You can also send me a message, and we can walk through what would work best for you.
