Large (32cm) — The ultimate work and travel bag. Fits a 13" laptop, long wallet, chargers, and daily essentials with room to spare. Ideal for commuters, travellers, and professionals.

Small (26cm) — Your everyday companion. Fits an iPad Mini, phone, wallet, and makeup essentials. Perfect for errands, dining out, or a weekend away.

► Why This Bag?

Genuine Togo Leather — Sourced from premium calfskin, Togo leather is prized for its natural pebbled grain, exceptional thickness, and durability. Unlike bonded or genuine leather, it will not peel or crack. This is a bag built to last decades.

Three Ways to Wear — Carry by the dual top handles, sling it over one shoulder, or attach the adjustable strap and wear it crossbody. Versatile enough for any occasion, any outfit.

Smart Organisation — A secure interior zip pocket keeps valuables safe, while the open slot pocket gives you quick access to your phone, cards, or keys. No more digging around.

Travel-Ready — Lightweight for its size, with a structured silhouette that holds its shape in overhead compartments, under seats, and across busy airports.

Silver Hardware Detail — High-polish silver-tone accents elevate the look and are built to withstand daily wear without tarnishing.

► Leather Care

Wipe with a dry cloth if wet. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. For deeper conditioning, apply a small amount of leather conditioner every few months. Natural markings and slight variations in texture are characteristics of genuine leather — each bag is one of a kind.

► Frequently Asked Questions

Does the large size (32cm) fit a laptop? Yes — the large size comfortably fits a 13-inch laptop along with a charger, wallet, and everyday essentials. It is not designed for 15-inch laptops, but works well as a slim work bag or travel tote for most professionals.

What is Togo leather and is it high quality? Togo is a type of calfskin leather known for its fine pebbled grain, natural thickness, and excellent durability. It is the same leather type used by several luxury European fashion houses and is considered one of the more premium cowhide options available. It resists scratches well and develops a beautiful patina with use.

Will this bag develop a patina over time? Yes. Top grain Togo leather naturally darkens and develops character with regular use. Oils from handling and light exposure gradually enrich the colour and texture — this is considered a desirable quality, not a flaw.

Is this bag waterproof? The leather has a natural resistance to light moisture, but it is not waterproof. If it gets wet, wipe it dry promptly with a soft cloth and allow it to air dry away from direct heat. We recommend treating it with a leather protector spray for added water resistance.

Can I return or exchange this bag? Yes. Alexel Crafts offers a 7-day no-questions-asked return policy. Returns are covered under the 88VIP program. Please refer to the Shipping & Returns tab for full details.

Is this bag handmade? Yes — every bag is handcrafted. Because of this, minor natural variations in texture, grain, and stitching are normal and part of what makes each piece unique. These are not defects; they are marks of genuine handmade craftsmanship.

What colours are available? This bag is currently available in Ebony, Black, Avocado Green, and White. Colours may vary slightly from screen to screen due to monitor calibration — if you have questions about a specific colour, feel free to reach out before ordering.
