This leather tote bag is meticulously handcrafted using traditional techniques and hand-stitched with durable waxed thread for lasting strength.

The leather, sourced from J&FJ Baker of Devon, England, is of unmatched quality and this specific leather not only is absolutely beautiful, but has a rather wonderful story behind it.
In 1786 a ship called the Matta Catharina, carrying hemp and leather sank just off the Devon/Cornwall coast. The leather it was carrying was a Russian leather that widely considered the finest in the world, tanned with birch oil, it was supple, rich and water resistant. In 1973 the wreck was discovered along with hundreds of leather hide bundles, preserved in the silt 30 metres below the surface.

Designed to effortlessly accommodate everything from your laptop and daily essentials to shopping finds and outfit changes, this tote is built to endure a lifetime of use, growing more beautiful and characterful with age.

I only use the highest grade of leather, full grain leather that will display natural imperfections such as marks, scars and character from the hand dying processes, making each piece truly unique.

Everything I make is entirely handmade by me with locally, ethically sourced and sustainably tanned leather and materials with a focus on traditional craftsmanship, quality and longevity. Using traditional saddlery techniques and saddle stitching which ensures a stronger, more durable stitch than machine stitching, as it creates a knot with every stitch.

I aim for my products to be heirloom pieces that can last a lifetime, to ensure this each of my products come with a lifetime guarantee on all stitching and fastenings… Made to wear in, not out. Read more about my process here…
