Know before you buy
Yes. The Classic Tote is fully machine washable, making it easy to keep clean even with daily use. We recommend washing on a delicate cycle with cold water and letting it air dry.
Absolutely. The interior features a dedicated, padded sleeve specifically designed to accommodate laptops up to 16 inches, keeping your tech protected and organized.
Yes, the bag features a boxy silhouette and a reinforced, basketweave knit that allows it to hold its shape. The protective feet on the bottom also help it stand upright when placed on the floor or a desk.
The straps are designed for daily wear and are wide enough to distribute weight evenly across your shoulder. While they are comfortable for commuting, keep in mind the bag weighs 2.4 pounds empty, so it will feel substantial when packed to its 20.5-liter capacity.
The Classic Tote features a clean, minimalist exterior design without outer pockets. All your essentials should be stored inside the main compartment, which is secured by a top zipper for added peace of mind.
The tote includes an adjustable, detachable strap that allows you to transition from a shoulder carry to a hands-free crossbody style. This makes it a versatile choice for navigating busy commutes or travel.
