Product Insights
Filo Pleated Latte Leather Tote Bag Main body is 100% Italian vegetable-tanned leather; lining is 100% Italian lambskin leather. Strap drop of 9.8 in / 25 cm fits over light layers but not bulky winter coats; use the grab handle or forearm carry in that case. Vegetable-tanned leather is water-sensitive: avoid getting it wet and prolonged sunlight; rain can leave spots. Italian vegetable-tanned leather develops a rich patina and is naturally prone to markings; it won't stay pristine but gains character with daily wear. At 995 CAD, it's a luxury investment; made in Italy with Italian leathers and includes a signature storage bag.
Verified claims
- fit
- Strap drop of 9.8 in / 25 cm fits over light layers but not bulky winter coats; use the grab handle or forearm carry in that case.
- weight
- Empty weight is about 9.3 oz (260 g) for the standard size, light for a leather tote; the Large version is 15.9 oz.
- structure
- Hand-pleated rigid vegetable-tanned body and flat 7 cm gusset let it stand on its own when set down, though a broken-in bag may lean.
- capacity
- Fits up to a 10.9-inch iPad.
- materials
- Main body is 100% Italian vegetable-tanned leather; lining is 100% Italian lambskin leather.
- interior
- Single compartment with smooth lambskin lining; no key leash, slip pocket, or zip pocket.
- pleating
- Vertical hand-pleated panels run top to bottom, creating a ribbed texture and scalloped top edge; side gussets are smooth.
- construction
- Contrasting topstitching along top edge and side seams, reinforced edge binding with double-row stitching, and embossed MANSUR GAVRIEL branding.
- care
- Vegetable-tanned leather is water-sensitive: avoid getting it wet and prolonged sunlight; rain can leave spots.
- care
- If the leather gets wet, blot it dry and air dry away from heat; store in the included dust bag with tissue to maintain shape, and avoid hanging by straps for long periods.
- care
- Avoid oil-based leather dressings, saddle soap, and prolonged warm/moist storage; these can stiffen, darken, or embrittle vegetable-tanned leather.
- patina
- Italian vegetable-tanned leather develops a rich patina and is naturally prone to markings; it won't stay pristine but gains character with daily wear.
- color
- Latte/Ivory-Cream Beige is a pale color that may show marks and patina more visibly; the brand frames this as character.
- lining
- A leather lining is a structural choice, allowing thinner or less consistent hides and tucking seam ends away; the interior shows the lining rather than every seam.
- durability
- Leather can stiffen if left unused; use inner supports and avoid forcing misshapen leather back into shape to prevent tears.
- care
- Direct water exposure can shrink, stiffen, stain, or cause tannin migration; this is not a waterproof bag.
- value
- At 995 CAD, it's a luxury investment; made in Italy with Italian leathers and includes a signature storage bag.
- styling
- Neutral latte color and pleated silhouette can be dressed up or down; grab handle or shoulder straps offer carry options.
- use_cases
- Sized for daily essentials and a small tablet; open top tote is easy access but not secure for travel.
- comparison
- This standard size weighs less and has a shorter strap drop than the Large Pleated Filo Tote; choose Large for more capacity but accept extra weight.
- care
- Follow the item's individual care tag; for deeper cleaning or repairs, consult a trusted leather specialist.

Elevating everyday outfits with a pleated leather tote
Carry this tote when you want to add a polished finishing touch to your outfits. Its pleated silhouette and beige vegetable-tanned leather give it a luxurious look, according to the retailer.[1]
Carry it by hand or over the shoulder
This leather tote can be carried by its grab handle or worn on the shoulder thanks to two slim flat leather straps that rise from the bag's interior. The slim shoulder straps emerge from the top of the pleated latte-colored bag for over-the-shoulder carrying.[1,2,3]
Developing a Rich Patina with Daily Wear
The Italian Vegetable-Tanned Leather develops a rich patina and evolves with daily use. As it ages, the leather naturally gains depth, character, and individuality, as it is naturally prone to markings and will not remain pristine.[4]
Keeping the leather clean and conditioned
As a bag you carry often, the Filo tote benefits from routine care: wipe it with a soft dry cloth to remove dust, and use a slightly damp cloth on spots, drying immediately. The leather can also be conditioned periodically with a colorless conditioner. MANSUR GAVRIEL describes this vegetable-tanned leather as naturally prone to markings that develop a rich patina over time, so care is about maintaining it rather than keeping it pristine.[4,5]
Keeping the Filo tote's vegetable-tanned leather dry and out of direct sun
Keeping the tote in shape between wears
The Filo tote comes with a signature storage dust bag, making it easy to tuck away between uses. To help it keep its shape, the brand's care guidance suggests storing it in the dust bag in a cool, dry spot away from direct sunlight, lightly stuffed with tissue, and avoiding hanging it by the straps for long periods.[1,5]

It measures 13 inches high by 13 inches wide by 2.75 inches deep and comes in one size with a signature storage bag included.
