Product Information

Full details

The & Other Stories Braided Tote in Beige is an elegant, versatile everyday accessory designed for the fashion-conscious adult seeking a blend of artisanal craftsmanship and functional storage. Its standout feature is the unique braided leather exterior that offers both a tactile, sophisticated aesthetic and durable structure. While it excels as a daily carry-all for work or leisure, users should note that the open-top design, despite the magnet closure, requires careful handling to keep smaller items secure in busy transit environments.

FAQs

Can this bag fit a laptop?

The bag has a width of 25.5 cm, which is suitable for tablets and smaller notebooks, but may not accommodate standard 13-inch or larger laptops.

Is the leather genuine?

Yes, this bag is crafted from genuine supple leather strips arranged in a braided pattern.

Does the shoulder drop length work for everyone?

The 30 cm shoulder drop is designed to be versatile for most adults, providing enough room to comfortably wear over the shoulder even with layers.

How do I clean the exterior?

Wipe the exterior gently with a clean, soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the leather finish.

Is the bag heavy?

Due to the braided leather construction, it offers a substantial feel without being overly heavy, balancing durability and comfort for daily use.

What is the best way to prevent the braided strips from snagging?

Handle the bag with care around rough surfaces or sharp objects to avoid catching the leather strips.

Troubleshooting

Leather looks dry or dull

Apply a small amount of neutral leather conditioner using a microfiber cloth to restore moisture and shine.

Magnet closure not snapping shut

Check that the interior is not overpacked, which can cause the bag to bulge and prevent the magnets from aligning correctly.

Internal lining needs cleaning

Use a lint roller to remove debris, and if necessary, a damp cloth with mild soap for spot cleaning the cotton surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your braided leather tote in excellent condition, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Routine Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. If the leather encounters a minor spill, gently dab with a damp cloth and allow it to air dry naturally away from direct sunlight.
  2. Storage: Always store the bag in a cool, dry place inside a dust bag when not in use. Avoid hanging the bag for long periods, as this can stretch the leather handles; instead, store it sitting upright.
  3. Conditioning: Periodically apply a high-quality, clear leather conditioner to maintain the suppleness of the braided strips and prevent cracking.
  4. Water Exposure: Avoid exposing the bag to heavy rain or water immersion to prevent staining or permanent damage to the natural leather fibers.
