Leather Totes

The Leather Tote - An Extremely Practical Bag
The popularity of leather totes endures season after season.  This is because leather totes are a practical tool for transporting items.  Leather totes are extraordinarily serviceable and can be used for work, school, shopping, and more.  At Sole Survivor Leather, our leather artisans make each and every one of our totes in our USA studio/workshop using REAL LEATHER. Real leather is a reliable and long lasting material and is a perfect choice for making totes.  Our leather artisans love to choose just the right leathers for each type of tote.

Leather Tote Styles, Sizes and Shapes
THE SOLE SURVIVOR BUTTON TOTE© 
Over the years, Sole Survivor Leather has designed several tote styles and sizes to serve a variety of needs. Let's start with our exclusive Button Tote© Series. There are two sizes offered. First is the Terri Button Tote©. The Terri Button Tote is a cropped version of a traditional tall tote.  It's worn over the shoulder or carried by hand or on the arm. This size works well for carrying a book or two, a small electronic devise (such as an e-reader). wallet, pens/pencils, reading glasses and a pocket for easy access to your phone. Many of our customers use this style as an everyday bag.

The other style in our Button Tote Series is the Mary Button Tote©. This tote is a taller version of the Terri. The Mary Button Tote© can be worn comfortably over the shoulder, or carried by hand. The size fits tablets, kindles, etc.  It easily accommodates up to a 15" laptop, along with files, magazines or a notebook. There is a pocket inside to keep a phone within easy reach.

The leather used in both totes is a beautiful full grain semi aniline soft leather with a natural fine pebble texture and has a spectacular feel. It is plump, and produced on large American cows, and has a spectacular feel. It is durable and perfect for a wide array of applications, such as our soft, lightweight leather totes. The 12 color choices are amazing. There are greens such as lime, ocean, turquoise and, well, green.  There is grape, claret, and blackberry, as well as tango (orange) saffron (yellow) black, gunmetal, sabia (tan) and walnut. 

The Easy Shoulder Tote - Light Taupe

THE SOLE SURVIVOR EASY TOTE© 
Sole Survivor exclusive design - The Easy Shoulder Tote©.  So named because of its' carefree nature. It's EASY to toss over the shoulder and go; EASY to fill because it fits all you need for a day out: EASY to carry - because it's not too heavy: EASY to wear because it stays on your shoulder. And last but not least, an EASY on the budget price point! The leather used in this medium sized tote is firm, more structured when compared to Sole Survivor's soft Button Tote© styles. The size is perfect for carrying everyday essentials and then some.  Where it up on your shoulder or over the arm.
