Tote Bags

Tote Bags for Work, Travel and Everyday Use

Laptop size is the quickest way to narrow this down: most totes here take a laptop, while our Icon Tote handles both 14" and 16" machines, so a larger screen rules out some of the smaller bags. Weight is the other thing worth checking, which matters if the bag spends the day on your shoulder on top of whatever is inside it.

Canvas, Recycled Fabric and Cordura: Which Material Suits You?

Canvas is tightly woven cotton or hemp, prized for its stiffness, so it holds its shape and softens with use. Our Heritage range pairs Oxford canvas with full-grain leather and a recycled lining. Recycled fabric is lighter and reduces demand for virgin materials, and it is what our Icon totes are made from, while Essential uses recycled ripstop and Antler Weave uses 100% recycled yarns. Cordura is the toughest surface here and the choice for a bag that gets daily use, which is what our Urban Core tote is built from.

Our Tote Bag Ranges: Icon, Heritage, Essential, Antler Weave and Urban Core

Icon Recycled Fabric Tote Bags

All of our Icon totes are made from water-resistant recycled fabric, and the two options differ mainly in how they are organized. The Icon Flat Pack Tote Bag holds 23L across six compartments with a 14" laptop sleeve, and packs flat when you are not using it, which makes it easy to fold into a suitcase for the trip home. The Icon Tote fits 14" and 16" laptops, closes with a full zip and has eight slip pockets plus an internal water bottle holder. There is also an Icon 2-in-1 Tote Backpack with hidden straps and a 14" laptop fit.

Heritage Canvas and Leather Tote Bag

Our Heritage Tote Bag is built from canvas and leather, with rolled leather handles and a shoulder strap so you can switch between carrying it in hand and off the shoulder. Water-repellent finishes and scratch-resistant leather trims keep it looking right as it ages, and at 1.31 kg it is the most substantial bag in the collection. Antler has been making travel goods for over 110 years, and this is the piece that leans hardest on that.

Essential Recycled Ripstop Tote Bags

Both Essential totes are made from 100% recycled ripstop. The Essential Tote Bag has one roomy main compartment, an internal zip pocket for small things and a webbing strap. The Essential 2-in-1 Tote Backpack converts between backpack and shoulder carry, with straps that tuck away when you want it to read as a tote.

Antler Weave Recycled Yarn Shopper

Our Antler Weave Shopper holds 34L, which is enough for a full shop or a gym kit alongside a 14" laptop in its own compartment. It is crafted from 100% recycled yarns in a triple weave, and there are slip pockets inside for keys and a phone.

Urban Core Cordura Tote Bag

Our Urban Core Tote Bag takes devices up to 16 inches in a dedicated sleeve and carries five pockets in total, two outside and three inside, plus a water bottle holder. The Cordura fabric and recycled polyester build stands up to daily commuting, and at 0.6 kg and 4.1 inches deep it stays slim against the body.
