Autumn Leaves Zip-Top Leather Handle Tote Bag

One-of-a-kind tote in a muted autumn leaf print with genuine leather handles, a secure zip top, and two inner pockets.

This Autumn Leaves tote is made for days when you need a bag that looks put-together but works hard—commutes, errands, and weekends away. The secure inset zip-top keeps essentials protected, while two interior slip pockets help you stay organised for keys, phone, and a notebook. It’s finished with genuine leather handles, reinforced with metal rivets, and double-stitched seams for everyday durability. Each bag is cut from repurposed and off-cut fabrics, so pattern placement is uniquely yours while helping reduce waste. Handmade in Kingsclere, Hampshire (near the Watership Down hills) by Debbie at Watership Down Crafts, it’s a practical carry that also feels special—because there’s only one.
