About this item

Two hides, one weaveSplit cowhide slouches soft and lightens the load. Top-grain cowhide is the outer layer of the hide, firmer, and keeps the tote shape.
A 13-inch laptop lies flatBoth hides open wide at the top. A laptop, a bottle and a spare layer go in without digging.
Keys get their own zipSplit cowhide comes with a removable zip pouch. Top-grain has a zip pocket sewn into the lining.
Handles that clear a coat sleeveBraided round handles with a 27 to 30 cm drop sit on the shoulder over a winter coat.

Shipping & Returns

Shipping. We take 1–3 business days to prepare yours with care, then it ships worldwide (free over $100) and arrives about 2 weeks after you order. You'll receive a tracking link the moment it's on its way. Weekend and peak-season orders may take a little longer.

Returns. We accept returns within 30 days of delivery. If an item arrives damaged or incorrect, we'll make it right and cover return shipping. If you simply change your mind, we'll gladly issue a refund once the item is returned to us — in this case return shipping is the customer's responsibility. To start a return, email Care@wildfool.life.

Care
Wipe dust off with a dry soft cloth. Keep it out of heavy rain; if it gets wet, blot with a cloth and let it dry in the shade, away from heat. A thin coat of neutral leather conditioner once a season is plenty. Split cowhide can transfer a little colour onto pale clothing when new, so keep it off white coats for the first few wears. The smooth base band on the top-grain tote wipes clean. Store it stuffed, in the dust bag, out of direct sun.

橄榄绿太好搭了

在家随手照了张镜子,配个白T短裤就很好看。橄榄绿户外更偏卡其,我反而更喜欢。皮子软不硬,上肩也舒服,日常装东西完全够

the cream is even prettier up close

stood it by the window to take a pic and the color is just so soft and warm. handles are sturdy, dont dig into your shoulder

M

wasnt expecting the handles to feel this nice

the rope handles are thick and comfy on the arm. ivory is closer to a warm cream than bright white fyi

keys and gum and whatever else

clipped my keys to the inside, still tons of room. olive green looks more khaki outdoors which i actually prefer

They sent me a tiny totes much smaller than the one on the website!!! This is crazyyy!!

Hi, I’m sorry—the tote looking much smaller than expected is understandably frustrating. I’ve found your purchase and would like to check whether the correct size was packed.

Could you please email with one photo of the tote beside a tape measure and one photo of the shipping label? We’ll compare them with your order and take care of the next step promptly.

handles a touch short for me

love the bag and the leather but if you want to wear it on the shoulder with a thick winter coat the handles are just on the short side for me. fine over a jumper

great but no inner pocket

love the size and the leather but there is no zip pocket inside so my small stuff floats around. i use a little pouch and its fine

E

brilliant for travel

took the black one as my carry on personal item, fit a tablet a book snacks and a scarf under the seat easy. soft leather softened more after a week and looks even better

carried it everywhere on my trip

took the black one to lisbon for a week and it was the only bag i needed. day trips dinners the airport all of it. the leather softened a bit and looks even better now honestly. roomy without looking like a gym bag, fits a packable jacket and a water bottle and i still have space. only thing is it doesnt stand up by itself when empty but i knew that going in

W

gorgeous but slow to arrive

no fault with the tote itself, the olive is lovely and roomy. took the better part of two weeks to land though, just so you know going in

S

you can see inside a little

really pretty bag and well made, just a heads up the gaps between the strands are a bit open so you can sort of see whats inside. doesnt bother me i just keep things in a pouch

L

no inner pocket

the cognac is beautiful and holds loads but theres no zip pocket inside so my keys and lip balm rattle around the bottom. a small pouch sorts it

my daily commuter now

ride the train in every day and this just lives on my shoulder. fits the laptop and a water bottle, sits flat against me so it doesnt swing around. the grey white is a bit of a milk tea shade not stark white, heads up

Questions, answered

Will it fit what I carry every day?
Exact height, width and depth are listed under Specifications above — measure against your laptop, an A4 folder or your usual essentials before you order. If you're between two sizes, size up: soft woven bags hold their shape best when not overstuffed.
How do I keep it looking good?
Store it stuffed with tissue, away from long direct sun, and spot-clean with a barely damp cloth. The full routine for this material is under Care above — it takes minutes a season, not hours.
When will it arrive?
Each piece is made to order and ships worldwide — typically arriving 12–17 days after you order. Shipping is free on orders over USD $100.
What if it doesn't suit me?
You have 30 days to return it — details under Shipping & Returns above. No drama, no restocking games.
Do orders come with a gift?
Yes — orders from USD $54 automatically include a free gift, and bigger orders unlock better ones (up to a silk sleep mask at USD $299+). It's added in your cart, nothing to do.
Is checkout secure?
Yes — SSL-encrypted checkout with cards, PayPal, Apple Pay and Google Pay.
