Custom Bag: Large Utility Tote|Water Resistant Lightly Waxed Canvas and Leather | Black and Brown Leather Straps | 5 Inside Pockets

This is a custom Large Utility Tote that I made for Lindsey in Honolulu, Hawaii. She’s a school teacher and needed something large and hefty for her day to day. She liked the standard size Utility Tote that I have in the shop, but inquired about making her a bigger one that would also fit her 15″ laptop and all her paperwork.

I only make this large size by custom order.  I have found that teachers and new moms like to order this size for all the stuff that they have to carry daily. It’s a good size if you carry a lot with you everyday, as a modern diaper bag, or as a carry-on travel bag.

Lindsey choose these colours; all black body with brown straps. The beautiful brown leather straps really show well with the black.

She also wanted 2 front pockets to be added to the outside of the bag, so that she can reach for some belongings easily.

This bag is roomy. It has 5 organizational pockets: 2 water bottle, 1 large and 2 medium sized. I’ve used this one as a carry-on bag to Montreal and it fit a lot.

Here’s some detailed shots of the bag. It has all solid and antique brass hardware throughout. As usual, I like the bags that I make to be absolutely secure, so a full zipper closure is necessary.

The leather straps are Italian vegetable tanned. It ages beautifully and is very strong. The crossbody shoulder strap is adjustable and detachable from the bag.
