Read MoreFor any leather tote bag you're considering, make sure it is made with full grain leather. It's important because if the leather doesn't have the grain on it, it will fall apart at a young age. Every leather hide naturally comes with grain as the top layer. Those are the tightly woven fibers that naturally protect the cow. But hides are naturally thick too, so tanneries usually split them in half, the top from the bottom. Now they have two hides they can sell. One expensive hide with all of the strong grain and one cheap low quality hide that looks nice but isn't. That leather is great for decorative leather parts, but not for leather tote bags that get stress and wear. This is the main difference between cheap totes and expensive ones. The quality of the leather.
---I designed this tote to be simple and no fuss, yet totally versatile. It's the perfect everyday carry bag and allows you to toss your daily necessities inside and go. The tote is also lightweight and somewhat unstructured or floppy.

---I designed this tote because I wanted something that was simplistic and no fuss, yet versatile. This bag is just that. It is a great everyday leather tote bag for the person who wants to be able to throw anything in their bag and go. It can really carry a lot. I also wanted something that was lightweight and somewhat unstructured or floppy.&&How do I wear it? It's such a versatile bag, I carry it for all sorts of purposes including an everyday purse when I'm running here and there from home to office to store (most days). The style is really simple and goes with any outfit, casual or dressed up. I love that it keeps everything together effortlessly and is so easy to get things in and out quickly. I throw my leather clutch purse in here or the Koroha bag alone with my keys, laptop and sometimes iPad. There's a lot of room in this tote! I also like that I can fold it up and fit it in my luggage to use when traveling.
I love love love my new tote. It has a ton of space and the straps do not fall off my shoulders (common problem for me). When you place the tote on the floor it holds shape which is a huge plus! The inside is pretty straight forward, no pockets or anything like that. It may be a little difficult to find smaller items such as a cell phone or something similar in size due to how large the tote is. I ordered the tote in Tobacco, the only thing that I noticed is the picture had more notable marbling compared to my actual bag. No biggie! Still in love with my purchase and the fact that the proceeds go to charity! Makes everything just a little sweeter!

This is my go to bag whenever I need something bigger than my everyday purse. I have the tobacco color and get compliments every time I wear it, now who doesn't like that?! The leather texture is stunning and makes a simple bag so unique! I carry my laptop (13" Mac book) a smaller purse (the Kwizera crossbody), books, a water bottle and more! This is my go to bag for literally everything. I love to fold it smaller and put it in my check-in luggage for a long trip. This way, if I go shopping or need an easy bag to carry around, I just pull it out and have some extra carrying space. I have also traveled with this several times and it fits standing up under the seat on the plane so things don't fall out. Its roomy inside makes it easy to take this bag, sneak in a smaller cross-body purse and still bring a larger piece of luggage all as carry-on. If you're looking for a reliable bag for all day & everyday, you can't find anything more durable at this price point!

I fell in love with this bag as soon as I laid my eyes on it. I'm a sucker for huge bags that I can just throw anything in. I knew I had to have it, so after weeks of bugging the Love 41 team about their color opinions, I finally decided on the Dark Coffee Brown tote bag. As soon as I opened it, I knew right away: THIS BAG IS HUGE. Like way bigger than I expected. I'm a petite girl and I stand 5'2". I have lanky arms so the height and drop of the bag is fine, but it is still incredibly overwhelmingly MASSIVE that I can hide behind it TWICE. I did read the measurements in the tote bag description, but I guess it's my fault for relying on Instagram pics of women who I now realize are probably a foot taller than me, instead of using a ruler to get an idea of how big it would really be. I'm not sure how I plan to wear this bag yet without looking like the bag is wearing me. I also found it a bit too expensive for the price ($169), considering my Saddleback Book Bag has a more complex design with thicker, more structured leather and it was only $139. Nevertheless, I think every girl needs a large tote in her life for lazy or crazy days (just make sure it's proportionate to your body type!). When you realize that 100% of profits go to charity, $169 is completely worth it.

what can i say, it is a very simple tote. do not expect: pockets, lining, zippers, snaps, closures, hidden pockets, key fobs, rhinoceri, built-in microwaves, anything not listed in the description. Simple tote. that said, I LOVE IT! i use it for days when i have to rush around from afterschool to swimming lessons to gymnastics class, while carting my laptop bag AND my regular purse AND two phones, extra mouse, cable bag(s) etc. it is indispensable for those days when you just need a BIG BAG to toss everything else into and go. the bag does hold shape quite well when set on the ground, so good for sitting under your chair at the doctor's office or while you cram in some work while waiting for your son's swim lesson to be over. it won't fall over unless you really try to kick it over. just right as a basic bucket for you to carry everything else in. plus, it is absolutely gorgeous leather, you will look ABSOLUTELY fabulous wherever you decide to bring this!
