Tote Backpack

Our leather is incredibly easy to care for. With time and use, the natural oils in the leather will rise to the surface, developing a beautiful patina and smoothing any scuffs or scratches that may have accumulated. Learn more about caring for your new leather product.

Full Grain: Meticulously sourced from the finest hides, this premium material boasts unique textures and character, showcasing nature's artistry at its best. As time passes, watch as its surface develops a unique patina, telling your personal journey through the years. Unlike processed leathers, full grain leather stands the test of time, due to its unmatched strength and resilience. Its dense fibers offer exceptional resistance to wear, cuts, and moisture, our full grain leather ensures lasting beauty that only gets better with age.

Pebbled: Unlike most brands that use artificial stamping methods to create patterns, our pebbled leather is achieved through a natural tumbling process. The distinctive raised, pebble-shaped texture adds sophistication and makes a bold statement wherever you go. But it's not just about looks—pebbled leather is built to last. Worried about daily wear and tear? Don’t be! The unique pebbled surface ages gracefully, developing a natural patina that will evolve for years to come!

Suede: Our suede leather begins with an intricate process: the hide is split to separate the soft underside from the top layer. This top layer is then tanned, buffed, sanded, and dyed to create the signature velvety texture that defines high-quality suede. Naturally slouchy and pliable, suede leather ages gracefully, developing a rich patina that tells its own story over time. Most natural imperfections are gently smoothed away during production, while subtle traces—like healed veining and the soft, napped surface—are preserved to celebrate the leather’s unique character and charm.

Our durable leather goods are unlined, featuring the natural suede side of the hide. Since fabric-lined bags inevitably discolor and tear with use, we chose to showcase the soft sueded underside of our hides, ensuring that your bag lasts a lifetime.

Because leather is a natural material, slight color and batch variations are normal. Factors like hide age, season, and dye absorption can all affect the final shade—making each piece uniquely yours.

Small tote backpack

by: Emily J.

I use the classic tote backpack as my everyday bag. I ordered the mini for times when I don't need as much but want to be hands free. Picture is my plum classic compared to my orchid small. 1. I love that the straps of the small are continuous/self-contained instead of having the ends curl up like the classic can be prone to do. 2. I wish the straps on the small were *slightly* wider. Not quite as wide as the classic, since that would be out of proportion. I haven't worn it all day yet but so far the thinner straps are still comfortable. 3. I didn't realize that the small does not have an internal pocket. My fault for missing it in the description. Not a huge deal, but I would be bothered by it if it was for everyday use. 4. I LOVE the orchid leather. It's soft and pebbled, beautiful color that will give a nice pop but also go with a lot of different outfits. Feels very similar to my coldbrew bags. Overall, I love it.

Tote Backpack

I loved traveling with my tote backpack sooo much I had to get one for my Mom too! I found it to be a great size to carry a good amount of stuff and still be hands free. Stylish enough for city trips especially. Sleek enough not to get in the way.
