Know before you buy
With dimensions of 14"W x 12½"H x 6"D, this tote can comfortably accommodate a standard 13-inch laptop or tablet alongside your daily essentials.
Because this bag is crafted from 100% virgin wool, it is best to spot clean any stains gently with cold water and a mild wool-safe detergent. Avoid machine washing or submerging the bag to maintain the integrity of the woven fabric and the cotton canvas trim.
Due to the way the fabric is cut from the larger textile roll, pattern placement varies slightly from bag to bag. This ensures that every tote has a unique look, though the overall color palette and design remain consistent.
Yes, the bag features an 11-inch handle drop, which provides ample space to carry it comfortably over your shoulder, even when wearing a coat or bulkier layers.
The main compartment features a reliable zip-top closure to keep your belongings contained. Inside, you will find two slip pockets that are perfect for organizing smaller items like your phone, keys, or sunglasses.
