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. These are built to hold up over time.
• Full-grain leather from U.S. tanneries
• Reinforced stress points
• Simple construction (fewer failure points)
• Built one at a time in a small shop
After a few years of use, the leather softens, darkens, and takes on character—but the structure stays solid where it matters.
These aren’t made in batches. Each one is built one at a time, which is why availability can vary depending on current orders.
The 3 options:
Simple, clean, and built for everyday use.
The Classic keeps things minimal while still using the same materials and construction as everything else.
• Exterior pocket
• Interior pocket
• No closure strap
• Reinforced build with hand-stitched base seam
A good fit if you want something durable without extra features.
The most popular configuration.
Adds the features most people end up wanting for daily use—more organization and 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.
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.
REAL-WORLD USE
I’ve seen these hold up through years of daily use. The leather breaks in like a good pair of boots—softer, darker, and more comfortable with time—but the structure stays strong. That’s the goal: build something that lasts and gets better with use.
SIZING (simple, not technical)
Available in:
• Medium
• Large
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 range of full-grain leathers, including:
• Oil-tanned leather (browns, charcoal, and select colors)
• Vegetable-tanned leather (Signature builds)
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.
PRICING
Most builds fall into the mid-$300 range depending on size and configuration. If you’d like something specific, I’m happy to go over options and pricing.
ORDERING / CTA
Most orders are handled directly. If you’re local, you’re welcome to reach out and set up a time to see leather options in person. Otherwise, feel free to send me a message and we can walk through what would work best for you.
Optional Add-ons
• D-rings (for key strap or future crossbody option)
• Removable crossbody strap
• Additional interior organization
These can be added to most builds depending on configuration.
