Product Overview

High-Quality Materials
Leather- For any leather tote bag or travel bag you're thinking about buying, check to see it is made with full grain leather. This is so important because if the leather doesn't have the grain on it, it will look dumpy or fall apart with persistant use. Every leather hide come with the top layer all grain. Those are the tough and resistant tightly woven fibers that naturally protect the cow. But the hide is thick, so the tannery usually splits it in half, the top from the bottom. So now they have two hides to sell. One expensive hide with all of the strong long lasting grain on it and one cheap low quality hide that looks nice but isn't. If you wonder why one leather tote or travel bag lasts longer and is more expensive than another, it is for this main reason.

Lining- We line it with a plush face down pigskin so it has that luxurious suede look. But it's not just good looking, it's actually stronger than the cowskin. It's so impressive. 

Zippers- Of all of the zippers that we could have chosen in the world to put on this leather tote bag, we chose a special yet expensive zipper from Spain. You may find yourself sitting there zipping and unzipping it over and over again. It is strangely satisfyingly smooth.

Expanding Fabric- A tightly woven waxed canvas from Scotland. It's from an old mill in Scotland that we found that perhaps makes the highest quality and most tightly woven waxed canvas in the world. It is in a tartan pattern that will set this leather travel bag off when exposed.

The story behind this leather tote bag
This is my "Go To" travel bag every time I travel. Hands down this is the most versatile leather tote bag ever! The two sizes in one allow me to use it for everyday and as my overnight flight bag on long trips. For my long flights, I use this to carry a change of clothes for myself and my two kids, melatonin, travel toothbrushes, malaria meds, passports, cell phone, snacks and much more. Every time I use this zippered leather tote, I get asked about it. The Crossbody style, over the shoulder or by the handles, it allow me to carry it with ease. This leather tote bag will not disappoint!

As always, the purchase of this zippered leather tote bag helps love others in need through education, food, shelter & job training.

    My Go To Travel Bag

    Everything in Love 41s description about this bag is exactly what I would say about it (except I only have one kid, not two and Id swap the malaria and melatonin for blood pressure meds!)! This is my carry on bag for airline travel. We travel between Alaska and the east coast a couple of times a year and always have overnights in Seattle. I pack what we need for the night in this bag and check the rest of our luggage straight through. What we need fits in this amazing bag!



    I always get asked about this bag every time I use it. This was my very first Love 41 purchase. It started my addiction with these well thought out and well made (and beautiful) leather goods.



    Get this bag, you wont regret it!

    Fun Weekend Getaway Bag!

    Loved this as a weekend getaway bag! It fit a few nights worth of clothes, shoes and toiletries. With the bag expanded, I could even put in my daughter's clothes (she's only 5, though). Perfect little bag to go someplace where you plan on buying stuff to take home - - when you leave it's nice and compact and when you return, it expands for all your goodies. I especially love that the cross body handle really expands to get very long...allowed my husband to carry it for me as well.

    First Impressions

    I just received my bag, and I really like it. I LOVE the leather. The handles are padded and comfortable. The continuous loop strap is great! No floppy strap ends to deal with. It is roomy, and the pockets inside are great. I like the flap on the bottom. That was a nice surprise. I agreed with Sonia, in Version 2 it would be nice if the straps were attached with D rings.

    Love this bag!

    Wow! What a beautiful bag! It is so versatile and I love the smell of the leather. I also have the continental wallet and they go great together. I like that I am able to go on a trip and have the bag zipped up and then when I come home after buying a few souvenirs, I can unzip the extra space and everything still fits in my carry-on bag! Would highly recommend! Was shipped quickly and wrapped so nicely when it arrived! Thank you Love 41!

    Wanted to love it but....

    I wanted to love this, but when its expanded it wouldn't fit under the airline seat. I fill it up which is great, but think a backpack style would have been better.
