The Mercato Woven Leather Tote Bag

The Mercato Tote — reimagined in handwoven leather.

Crafted in India from vegetable-dyed bovine leather, each bag is handwoven using traditional basket-weaving techniques—creating a seamless, unlined tote with softness, strength, and beauty.

The weave is intentionally constructed to hold its shape, preventing the sagging bottom that often comes with oversized styles. The result is a structured woven leather tote bag that maintains its form while still feeling light and flexible.

A braided tassel tie closure adds both function and detail—keeping your essentials secure while preserving the relaxed, open feel of a classic market tote.

Spacious and easy to carry, it’s built for everything from farmers market mornings and beach days to travel and everyday city errands.

A modern interpretation of heritage craftsmanship—designed for how you actually use your bag.

Material: 100% vegetable-dyed bovine leather
Dust Bag: 100% Cotton
Packaging: Made in the USA with thoughtfully sourced materials, featuring 100% recycled and FSC-certified paper goods (tissue, stickers, and postcards). All components are recyclable curbside, including the kraft box—please check with local facilities for proper recycling guidelines.

This item ships poly bag-free, in a protective, reusable dust bag. Store your bag stuffed in its dust bag to promote longevity.

• Height: 12"
• Width: 23" (at top)
• Depth: 9.5"

Crafted by hand using naturally dyed leather, each bag is designed to evolve with time.

Subtle variations in tone and texture are a reflection of the weaving process—no two are exactly alike.

With wear, the leather will soften and develop a rich patina unique to you. To preserve its beauty, avoid excessive moisture and contact with light fabrics, especially when new.
