Experience effortless carry with our Leather Tote by Ripco. Cut from thicker full-grain, vegetable-tanned leather, it has the structure a tote needs—standing on its own, resisting sag and corner collapse, and protecting what you carry day in and day out. Every panel is hand-cut, saddle-stitched, and edge-burnished, with reinforced, rivet-backed handles sized for comfortable shoulder wear. The firmer temper means the bag keeps its clean lines as it breaks in, developing a rich patina without getting floppy. Thoughtfully sized for a laptop, notebook, water bottle, and daily essentials, it balances durability with timeless simplicity—customizable in leather color, thread color, and hardware to make it yours.
Tote Bag
Made from the finest selection of Veg-Tan Leather: Badalassi Carlo Pueblo. Straight from the shoulder of a cow, Badalassi Carlo Pueblo starts off with a more grainy feel that ages with time to take on a beautiful and smooth appearance.
Vegetable Tanned Leather is tanned using various natural elements, ensuring the absence of harsh chemicals and unnatural means to attract quality and excellence.
Ritza 25 Tiger Thread is a waxed polyester thread made by Julius Koch in Germany. I use size 0.6mm diameter thread to ensure a slick and timeless look. The thread is finely braided, flattened and extremely strong. It comes lightly waxed to hold its place and will not gum up your projects like many other waxed threads!
Polyester thread is preferred for sewing almost anything that requires strength and durability. It performs well with all types of leather and sewing projects. It is strong, has excellent sunlight (UV) resistance and will keep you projects lasting for a very long time. This is one of my favorite threads because of its rich color, quality of braid and the way it lays down in my leather.
