THE Urban Tote - GLOBAL EDITION - Indigo

The perfect sustainable statement tote for the urban working woman, the Urban tote is our all time bestselling bag. Presenting the limited edition variant which is a blend of handwoven Ikat cotton fabric and premium vegan leather. Trendy, functional and spacious, the warm brown hues and stylish form makes this the perfect bag to carry along on your global travels. We've added multiple thoughtful pockets for your phone, your water bottle, your laptop and even a loop inside as a key holder which makes it super easy for you to find your keys when you need them the most.

As we use original artisanal fabrics and weaves in our handbags, they are handmade with a combination of cotton fabric / rugs / jute and vegan leather. This is the unique and exclusive feature that sets an ABIS handbag apart. This also means that the bag you receive may slightly vary as block printing is a hand done process and these variations across batches are natural.
