Striped Vegan Leather Messenger Tote, Navy/White

The everyday tote that actually looks as good at 6pm as it did at 8am.

Rich cognac vegan leather with a crisp navy and white stripe down the center creates that effortless classic energy — nautical but not costume-y, preppy but not dated. It's the kind of bag that looks polished with a blazer and equally at home with jeans and a t-shirt.

The stripe detail takes this from "just another brown tote" to something with actual personality. Navy and white against warm cognac is a timeless combination that works year-round and pairs with more than you'd expect: black, cream, denim, olive, pastels, even prints. It's classic without being boring.

Where You'll Carry It

This tote was designed for people who need one bag that does everything — and does it well.

Work is where it shines. The 10"H x 12"W x 5"D dimensions hold a laptop, notebook, wallet, water bottle, and all the essentials that pile up throughout the day. The zip-top closure keeps everything secure during your commute. Two interior pockets — including one zippered — mean your phone and keys have a dedicated spot instead of disappearing into the void.

But don't limit this bag to Monday through Friday. Clip on the adjustable crossbody strap (32"-52" length) and it becomes a hands-free travel companion. Use the tote handles for farmer's market runs. Throw it over your shoulder for weekend brunch. The convertible design means you're never choosing between style and function.

Why This Tote Feels Different

The structured shape is what separates this from cheaper totes. It holds its form throughout the day — no sagging, no collapsing sideways, no "bag puddle" on the floor of your car. When you set it down, it stays upright. When you reach for your wallet, you can actually see what's inside.

The vegan leather has that rich, luxe look and feel without the ethical tradeoffs. It's durable enough for daily use, easy to wipe clean, and won't show wear the way lesser materials do.

The gold hardware adds just enough polish to elevate the whole look without being precious or fussy. Every detail feels considered.

Add to cart — the everyday bag you'll reach for every single day.
