Dark 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!

 Be sure to provide the correct mailing address at checkout! Juliette Rose Designs will not be responsible for returned mail due to an incorrect address, and a new shipping label will have to be purchased by the customer to resend. I totally get it - stuff happens, and if you realize you need to change the shipping address before your order is shipped, then I can get it changed for you no problem.

This is the tote that defines timeless elegance. Handcrafted in Vermont by Juliette Rose Designs, this bag is made from full-grain Italian vegetable-tanned leather, renowned for its luxurious feel, rich depth of color, and that incredible natural leather aroma. Over time, it develops a warm patina that can't be replicated.

Every detail is crafted to last. The hand-burnished straps are secured with hand-hammered copper rivets for strength and beauty. Inside, you’ll find a slip pocket for essentials and a D-ring to keep your keys close. The structured yet soft leather makes this the perfect everyday companion — roomy enough to fit a 13" laptop, yet refined enough to carry anywhere.

Because this leather is minimally processed, each bag is one of a kind. Natural variations in tone and texture give every piece its own unique character, and a scent that only the finest Italian leather can offer.

Features:

  • Full-grain dark brown Italian vegetable-tanned leather

  • 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

  • Naturally unique leather with rich scent and character

Whether you’re heading to the office, traveling, or elevating your everyday look, this dark brown leather tote will age beautifully and only get better with time.
