Handmade Leather Tote Bag Made in the USA
Looking for a handmade leather tote bag made in the USA? Happy Hollow Farm builds this tote one at a time in Wears Valley, East Tennessee, in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains. It is handmade and made to order by Chuck and Kate — no factory line and no outsourced assembly.
Each tote is cut from full-grain vegetable-tanned American leather sourced from Wickett & Craig in Pennsylvania. We use #1 grade hides, the strongest part of the hide, with no corrected grain and no splits. Vegetable-tanned leather develops a patina with use, is stronger, more durable and more attractive.
The Large Tote measures 18 × 12 × 6 inches. It is built for work, travel, and daily carry, with room for a laptop and everyday gear. Your options of an open (bucket bag) with fold over tuck lock closure or zipper closure with an Excella YKK top zipper with polished teeth, premium suede lining, solid brass hardware, sewn shoulder handles, and your choice of an adjustable crossbody strap or 28-inch shoulder straps.
Current price is $387. Lead time is 3 to 4 weeks because every bag is built to the order. Shipping is free to all 50 U.S. states on orders over $25. Returns are accepted within 30 days when the product is sent back in original condition; customized pieces are excluded unless there is a defect.
