HOT ! The Sierra Tote: Generations of Craft in One Bag

The Daily Driver for the Modern Nomad.

Most leather totes are either too stiff to be comfortable or too flimsy to hold their shape. The Sierra is the middle ground: handcrafted from soft, pliable full-grain leather that stays upright when you set it down at the coffee shop, and develops a unique character (patina) the more you use it.

Features:

• 
  The Leather: Full grain, vegetable-tanned leather. It features a \"pull-up\" finish—watch the color lighten and evolve where it bends and moves.


• 
  The Build: 100% Solid hardware. No plastic, no mystery metals.


• 
  The Fit: Effortlessly holds a 15\" Laptop + 32oz Water Bottle + your daily journals.
  


• 
  The Carry: Reinforced handles for the shoulder, plus a removable, adjustable crossbody strap for when you’re on the move.
  


• 
  Inside: Internal pocket to hold important items separate


• 
  Strong Magnetic clasp keeps the tote closed until you need to open it


• 
  Front slip pocket to hold easy-to access items


• Brass rivets reinforce handle attachment points
  


• 12\"H x 11\"W x 5\"D

Artisan Heritage: The San Francisco Leather LegacyThis isn\'t a factory-made accessory. The Sierra is built in Cotacachi, Ecuador, by Pablo and Juan, 4th-generation leather artisans.Their family shop was founded by their great-grandmother nearly a century ago. When you carry this bag, you are carrying four generations of Andean tradition and a piece of history that is built to last another lifetime.

Thoughtful Details:

• 
  Raw Suede Interior: Experience the natural, unfinished beauty of the hide.


• 
  Quick Access: One interior pocket for your phone/keys, one exterior pocket for items you need in a pinch.


• 
  Magnetic Closure: A strong magnetic clasp keeps your belongings secure without the \"fight\" of a stubborn zipper


• 
  Hand-Stitched Durability: Every stress point is reinforced with brass rivets
