You'll never need another tote again! Meet the Boxy Tote. Its chic design, roomy interior, and effortless style makes for an ideal tote for dressing up or down, staying in or a night on the town.

This boxy tote stands on its own--open or snapped closed--on any surface. Wide straps allow the bag to sit comfortably on your shoulder (no matter how much you've stuffed inside). With 2 large pockets on the outside and 3 pockets on the roomy inside, you'll have space and place for all your notions, a Project Page, and a Stephen West-size shawlanket or two.

The inner walls of the bag are unlined, leaving the underside of the velvety leather exposed. Each tote comes with a small square wool felt pad that you can use to buff out any scuffs or scratches.

The simplicity of this design, combined with the luxurious quality of the leather and flawless craftsmanship, lends this tote its timeless elegance. Handcrafted in 3 classic shades, the Boxy Tote goes with just about anything!

Each bag is handmade in Ukraine with our signature Crazy Horse leather, specifically chosen for its sought-after aging qualities, like the characteristic caramelization of the colour and development of a unique patina. Lean into the character and history that daily wear provides or check out our Leather Care Kit to clean and condition your leather to full strength and shine.

Leather Care Guide

For minor nicks and scratches, gently wipe the leather in a circular motion using a slightly damp, soft cloth or a wool felt buffer pad.

For advanced care, treat the leather with leather soap and wax for deep cleaning and conditioning. A complete Leather Care Kit and individual wool felt buffer pads are available for purchase.

Note that our Rose-colored crazy horse leather doesn't respond well to this treatment, so it's best to use a simple, very damp cloth on those items.

  • The most beautiful tote I have ever owned. So soft and supple and practical.
  • So many pockets and the perfect size for a project bag.
  • It stands up securely, never tipping, and is big enough without ever feeling bulky.

What a beautiful tote. The quality of the leather, stitching and construction is amazing. It holds everything I need from my needle cases to the very gorgeous clutch in one spot. It’s neither too big nor too small. Just perfect. Everything I have purchased has been a joy to own. Thank you so very much.

Handles are the right length. The pockets are a bonus to hold my pattern.

Boxy Tote

I absolutely love the Boxy Tote. I really didn't need another bag, but am glad that I couldn't resist. It is well made and has lots of room for all of my needs. As a person in the U.S., who did not vote for trump, I'm glad to help support both a Canadian business and Ukraine.

Hi Kristen,
We’re so glad you love the Boxy Tote! It’s hard to resist a bag that’s both stylish and practical, right? Your support means a lot to us, and we truly appreciate your kind words. Thank you for supporting a Canadian business and standing with Ukraine! 😊✨

The Ultimate Tote

The Boxy Tote is the perfect size and shape. It stands up securely, never tipping, and is big enough for my knitting project, notions pouch, water bottle, note book, and anything else I might want to throw in for an afternoon of knitting, without ever feeling bulky. The Chocolate colour is rich and beautiful, and the workmanship is outstanding. A lot of thought and skill went into this design!

Splurge!

This bag is a retirement present to myself. Beautifully sewn, high quality leather and just enough perfectly sized pockets for my knitting projects. Couldn't be more happy with this and all the other T&M products I own.

Aldona

Hi! What's the leather thickness? Is the bottom reinforced? Can yarn pick up color or suede fibers inside since the bag has no smooth lining?

Thread and Maple

Hi Aldona,
The leather thickness is 1-2mm, allowing the bag to keep its shape beautifully. The bag itself is reinforced for structure, but it does not have metal feet on the bottom. The interior features the natural reverse side of the leather; we have never received complaints about color transfer or shedding, though we always recommend protecting your projects as a general precaution.

Any chance this will ever come in Rose? Maybe in October for Breast Cancer Awareness Month? All of my T&M tools are Rose and I’d be so thrilled to have this gorgeous tote to carry them!

Customer

Hi Amy, Thanks for the suggestion! We love that idea, especially for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. While we don’t have plans for a Rose version just yet, I’ll definitely pass along your request. It would be such a beautiful addition to your collection!
