Leather tote bags for women, designed in Florence and made in Italy. Each tote is handcrafted from full-grain Italian leather and keeps a structured shape, with room for a laptop, documents and everything else a full day asks for.
Every tote in this collection follows the same idea: a clean, structured shape in Italian leather, sized for real working days and offered at an honest price. Below you can see how the models differ, which one takes your laptop and how to keep the leather looking its best.
How to choose a leather tote bag
Start with what you carry every day. If a laptop comes with you, measure it first: a 15.6" laptop needs a tote of around 45 cm or more across, a 13" laptop fits a slimmer bag. Then think about how you like to carry it. Shoulder straps with a drop of about 26 cm sit comfortably over a winter coat, while top handles plus a removable strap give you two ways to wear the same bag. Finally, choose the leather. Croc-embossed leather keeps its shape and hides small marks, smooth leather has a softer and quieter look, and textured leather is the easy, practical middle ground.
Our Italian leather totes, model by model
The Maxima Croco Tote is our bestselling leather tote bag. Croc-embossed Italian leather, a soft suede lining and gold-tone hardware, 48 × 30 × 14 cm, with room for a 15.6" laptop, a notebook and the rest of your day. It comes in black, grey, red, camel and white, and a zip pocket inside keeps keys and cards to hand.
The Maxima Tote has the same generous shape in smooth leather, in red and beige. Its clip-in corners change the silhouette: leave them open for a classic shopper, or clip them in for a sculptural triangle shape, so one bag gives you two looks.
The Alinari Tote is made in textured Italian leather with two top handles and a removable leather strap. An interior pochette keeps small things together, and there is room for a laptop and documents. Choose black, camel, red or burgundy.
The Viviene Tote is the slim option: 45 × 35 × 6 cm in full-grain leather with a suede lining and a removable inner pouch. It sits close to the body and takes a 13" laptop and your papers. It comes in camel, black, taupe and red.
The Trastevere Tote is the lightest of the group, a relaxed full-grain leather tote with two large compartments and a crossbody strap. For weekends away, the Milano Travel Bag in deer-print calfskin takes everything you need for an overnight stay.

Italian leather, designed in Florence
Our totes are designed in Florence and made in Italy. Good Italian leather is valued for its even grain, its rich colour and the way it softens with use while keeping its shape. To keep your tote at its best, fill it lightly with paper when you are not using it, keep it away from direct heat and wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Light shades such as white and beige like a gentle clean a little more often, while croc-embossed leather is the easiest to look after. Read our leather care guide and how to tell real Italian leather for more.
