Handmade by commission

Handmade bags, made exactly your way.

Totebug offers custom, handmade tote bags and crafts in beautiful leathers and cottons. Every bag is a commission — we work together on the strap length, the depth, the dye color, the pocket layout — so what you end up with is a bag that fits the way you actually carry things.
