Drummer Dark Brown Leather Small Tote Bag: Choose this if you want a compact, zip-top tote in genuine chocolate brown cow leather that the merchant describes as embodying refined minimalism, with both short grab handles and long shoulder straps plus an interior patch pocket. It measures 8.5 inches tall by 13.5 inches wide by 5.5 inches deep, with a cotton lining, contrast white topstitching, and an included signature storage pouch. Note that its body is soft and slightly unstructured with shallow creasing at the folds, and care instructions call for storing it in its pouch in a cool, dry place.[1,2,3,4]Ninon Supple Tote Bag: Choose this if you want a small, lightweight everyday tote that still fits the basics, including a 13-inch MacBook, with a soft, supple faux-leather look that drapes neatly against the body. It is made from recycled leather-like material (55% polyurethane, 40% polyester, 5% calcium carbonate) with a 100% cotton lining, twin shoulder straps, an inner patch pocket, and the brand's white logo printed on the front, in black, Off White, or Khaki/Sage/Olive, one size. Note that it is faux leather rather than animal leather—one commenter passed on it for that reason, and an owner could not yet speak to long-term durability—though another who owns it finds it easy to maintain and spacious for its size.[5,6,7,8,9,10]Lou Sturdy Striped Tote: Choose this if you want a slim, rectangular cotton-canvas tote in one size, about 14.25 inches tall and 11.5 inches long by 3 inches deep, with two long striped straps that work for both shoulder and hand carry. Choose it for the narrow light-blue-and-white vertical stripes and the large white A.P.C. logo printed across the lower front — a statement look compared with the brand's more discreet markings. Note it is 100% cotton with an open top and only one small interior patch pocket, so it suits light, everyday carrying rather than secure storage.[11,12,13,14,15]
