Materials

The brief was simple: an everyday tote that doesn't look like one.

Exterior

Premium structured leather, vegetable-tanned, with a soft hand that ages rather than wears. Water-resistant by treatment, not by coating — so the surface keeps its quiet matte over years.

Interior

A leak-proof thermal compartment, sealed and isolated from the rest of the bag. A padded laptop sleeve fitted up to 17 inches. A concealed pocket against the back panel for phone, passport, and the things you'd rather not advertise.

Hardware

Smooth-glide zipper, brushed nickel finish, tested to 50,000 cycles. Reinforced stitch at every load-bearing point.

Care

Wipe the lining clean with a damp cloth. Treat the exterior twice a year with a neutral leather conditioner. Don't worry about marks — they're part of the story.
