Product Type: Tote Bags

A black leather tote bag that zips shut is the one you can set under a restaurant table or on a train seat and stop watching. Kiko Leather sells it as the Mid Zip Tote: smooth black leather cut wide and low, roughly 17.5 inches across by 10 high and 6.5 from front to back. It closes with a top zip, carries an outer zip pocket and hangs from two shoulder handles.

  • Closes edge to edge. The top zip shuts the whole opening, so a tipped bag on a car seat spills nothing.
  • Outside zip pocket. A transit card or a key ring rides on the front, in reach while the big compartment stays zipped.
  • Wide and low. A laptop or a folder rides sideways, long edge down, with nothing poking up into the zip.
  • Lined and sorted. Black fabric lines the inside, with an inner zip pocket and two small sleeves for a phone and cards.

A Black Leather Tote for Work

A black leather tote for work earns its keep by going with everything you own, from a navy suit to a gray sweater to a camel coat. Smooth leather adds a second benefit: where your hands and shoulder meet it, the black takes on a soft sheen that makes the bag look better in its second year than its first. A light scuff on smooth leather usually fades when you rub it with a warm fingertip, and a soft cloth lifts dust before it works into the surface.

The handles drop 10 inches from the top of the bag. That puts the tote under your arm over a blouse, a sweater or a light jacket, and in your hand on days when a padded coat fills the shoulder.

What Fits Inside 17.5 Inches

Laptops are measured across the screen, so the case is wider than the number on the box. A 13 inch laptop, roughly 12 inches across and 8.5 front to back, stands on its long edge with room at both ends; a 14 inch model, about 12.3 by 8.7, fits the same way. A 15 inch laptop runs about 13.4 by 9.4, close to the 10 inch height, so treat 14 inches as the comfortable limit if the zip has to close over it every day.

Letter paper, at 8.5 by 11 inches, lies lengthwise in a folder with the long edge along the bottom, which keeps papers flat on the way home. The 6.5 inch depth holds a water bottle upright beside the folder, with a lunch container or a sweater on top.

Living with the Mid Zip Tote

Does the top zip close over a full load? It closes over a load that sits below the rim. A rolled umbrella laid lengthwise and a laptop together still let it run shut; a bulky sweater on top is the thing that strains a zip, so fold it flat along one side.

What should go in the front pocket? Flat things you reach for many times a day: a transit card, a key ring, a lip balm. A phone fits too, but a heavy one pulls the front panel forward, so the inside zip pocket is the better home for it.

How do I clean smooth black leather? Dust the surface with a clean, soft rag, dab fresh marks with a barely moist one, and leave it to air out away from radiators. Condition it two or three times each year, testing first on the underside.

Is a zip top tote safer for travel? A closed top keeps hands out of the bag in a crowd and keeps things in when it slides off a seat. On a busy platform, wear it with the front pocket turned toward your body.
