Distressed Brown Leather Tote – Handcrafted Vegetable Tanned Leather Bag with Copper Rivets

Regular price$299.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.
  • Free domestic shipping
  • Free monogramming

Handmade from full grain 100% vegetable tanned leather. Vegetable tanned leather will "patina" as it breaks in, darkening in color, developing a slight sheen, and softening in texture.

To keep your bag looking great, dust it with a clean lint-free cloth and condition with your favorite conditioner every few months.

Minor scuffs and scratches are part of your bag's unique patina, and can be embraced! But if you'd like to remove them, simply breathe on the scratch and buff out with your finger or a clean cloth.

Check out our Leather Care page for more details!

You have the option to add a gold foil monogram to your bag. Select your monogram options above, leave your initials in the text box, and add your item to the cart.

The letters are all capital letters, and all the same size, so typical order is First Middle Last.

All sales on personalized orders are final.

Read our Monogramming page for more detailed info, and for example photos.

Your bag is handmade to order in my Vermont studio, and turnaround time is usually 1-2 weeks, but check the homepage announcement bar for any updates regarding turnaround times.  Please reach out if you have a tight deadline and I’ll always do my best to accommodate!

Meet the tote that tells its own story. This timeless carryall from Juliette Rose Designs is handcrafted from full-grain, vegetable-tanned leather sourced from the legendary Horween Leather Company in Chicago. Known for its rich pull-up and dramatic character, this distressed brown leather develops a stunning patina that only gets better with age.

Every tote is designed with lasting quality in mind. The hand-burnished straps are secured with hand-hammered copper rivets for strength and classic style. Inside, an interior slip pocket keeps essentials close at hand, and a D-ring gives you a place to clip your keys. Generously sized to fit a 13" laptop, this is the perfect everyday tote for work, travel, and everything in between.

Because this leather is intentionally distressed and minimally processed, no two bags are exactly alike. Variations in color, pull-up, and natural markings make each tote truly one of a kind.

Features:

  • Full-grain, vegetable-tanned Horween leather with unique pull-up

  • Hand-burnished straps with a 10" drop

  • Hand-hammered copper rivets

  • Interior slip pocket and D-ring for keys

  • Fits a 13" laptop

  • Made by hand in Vermont, USA

  • Natural variations in color and markings — every bag is one of a kind

Whether you’re drawn to its rugged character or its timeless silhouette, this distressed brown tote will age beautifully and become your most trusted companion for years to come.
