Purple Leather Tote – 24" Handles – Ready to Ship

A simple, hardworking leather tote made to get better with age.

Each tote is handcrafted by David from premium pull-up leather, chosen for its rich color, soft feel, and the character it develops through everyday use. The waxes and oils within the leather shift as it bends and moves, creating lighter and darker areas that make every bag a little different. Over time, it will continue to develop a patina that reflects how you carry and use it.

The body is made from 3-4-oz pull-up leather for a comfortable balance of flexibility and durability, while the straps are cut from heavier 7–8 oz leather for added strength and structure.

Rather than being machine sewn, the entire bag is hand saddle stitched using two needles worked through each stitch hole. It’s a traditional leatherworking technique that creates a strong, durable seam and adds a subtle handcrafted detail around the top of the bag.

Sturdy leather handles are reinforced inside the bag. Measurements refer to the full handle length, rather than the handle drop.

Minor surface marks and light scratches are part of the nature of pull-up leather and often blend back into the finish with gentle rubbing as the oils and waxes redistribute.
