Leather Laptop Totes

Your laptop goes to the office, the coffee shop and the airport gate, so the bag carrying it should look good in all three. Our leather laptop totes fit a 13-, 14-, 15- or 16-inch laptop and still carry like a handbag you chose for the outfit.

Each laptop tote bag is handcrafted in small batches, and our full-grain leather softens and deepens in color with every commute. Choose a structured tote that stands up beside your desk or a softer shape that drapes on your shoulder.

Structured or Slouchy: A Laptop Tote That Holds Its Shape

Set a structured tote down at your desk and it stays upright with the laptop standing inside. The Suburban and Urban do it with a flat bottom and the Festival with metal feet. Our slim Laptop Leather Tote keeps a trim, structured shape that tucks neatly under your arm.

A slouchy tote wears softer. The Margie has a raw, unlined interior, so it flattens into a suitcase pocket or rolls up beside your shoes. The Lindsey falls into an easy hobo curve on your shoulder.

Full-grain leather keeps the hide's outer surface whole, grain and all. That dense surface gives a structured tote the backbone to carry a laptop every day, and it softens and builds a patina the longer it's with you.

Leather Laptop Totes for Work

A workday bag carries the charger, a notebook, a water bottle and the badge you need at the door. Good interior organization keeps all of it from sinking to the bottom.

The Leon has a built-in organizer with 4 card slots and 2 pen holders, plus a hidden magnetic phone pocket outside. The Lizzie holds 5 cards and 3 pens. The Suburban Lg splits into 3 open compartments with a detachable zip pouch, and the Lindsey has two elastic water bottle holders and a key leash.

On a crowded train, a top zip keeps everything closed. The Leon, Lizzie, Urban and Suburban Lg all zip shut, and the Leon's 10-inch drop sits comfortably over a coat. For briefs, backpacks and more office styles, browse our leather work bags.

A Laptop Tote as Your Carry-On Personal Item

A laptop tote can fly as your personal item when it fits under the seat in front of you. Each airline sets its own size limit, so check yours before you pack.

The slimmest totes tuck beneath the seat easily. The Leon and Lizzie are 2 inches deep, the Urban is 3 and the Lindsey is 3.5. Slide the laptop in behind everything else so it's the first thing out at security.

The deeper styles pack for a night away. The Suburban Lg is 7 inches deep and the Voyage is 11.25, with space for the laptop and tomorrow's outfit. For longer trips, our leather weekenders and duffels take it from there.

How to Protect Your Laptop in a Leather Tote

A laptop rides best in a tote that stands on its own. A flat base or metal feet keep it upright on the floor, an interior section keeps the laptop apart from your keys, and a water bottle belongs in its own holder.

For extra cushioning, our Zippered Leather Tablet Case has bubble padding and a wide top zip, and it slides easily into a tote. The more you carry full-grain, the softer and richer it gets. Our guide to how to soften leather covers the safe ways to speed that along.

Laptop Tote FAQs

What's the difference between a laptop tote and a laptop bag?

A laptop tote carries on your shoulder like a handbag, with room for the rest of your day around the laptop. For briefs and messenger styles, see our leather laptop bags and cases.

Which leather totes fit a 16-inch laptop?

The Suburban Lg and the Brigitte both fit up to a 16-inch laptop. The Suburban zips shut and stands on a flat bottom, while the Brigitte is lighter, with open-weave leather and a magnetic snap.

Do leather totes hold their shape?

Structured full-grain styles do. A flat bottom or metal feet keeps the tote standing even when you've only packed a laptop and a phone.

Start With Your Laptop, Then Choose the Shape

Check your laptop's screen size, add a size if it rides in a case, then decide between a tote that stands at your desk and one that drapes on your shoulder. Every style here is handcrafted in small batches for our New Jersey family business, here since 1984.
