{"product_id":"gray-pebbled-leather-tote","title":"Gray Pebbled Leather Tote Bag with Wrapped Handle","description":"\u003cp\u003eA gray leather tote bag gives you the ease of black without its severity, and this one has a shape you will not mistake for any other. The maker, Kiko Leather, names it the Modern Tote: pebbled gray leather whose sides sweep up into two straps that meet in a single black wrapped handle, with a 12 inch drop for the shoulder and two sleeve pockets inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOne wrapped handle.\u003c\/strong\u003e Both straps gather into a black leather grip that is easy to hold and easy to find.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA 12 inch drop.\u003c\/strong\u003e Long enough to ride on your shoulder through coat season.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDark outlined panels.\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark edges trace every seam, which gives the gray a crisp, drawn line.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBoxy lower body.\u003c\/strong\u003e Kiko lists it at 17 by 11 by 6 inches, with the depth to carry a sweater and lunch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Gray Leather Wears Easily\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGray leather works with warm and cool colors alike, so it sits as well beside black pants as beside a camel coat or faded jeans. \u003cstrong\u003eIt shows dust and lint far less than black does\u003c\/strong\u003e, useful for a bag that spends half its life on the floor beside a chair or on a car seat. The trade is that a dark mark, such as a smear of ink, shows sooner on gray, so keep pens capped or in one of the inside sleeves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUp close the grain is a fine, low pebble that keeps the gray matte, so the front panel shows calm, even color with no glare under office lights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Pebbled Leather Tote That Drapes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cut is what sells this bag. The body is roughly square below the strap line, then the sides cut away and rise into the straps, so a full bag settles into a soft shape under the arm instead of standing stiff. \u003cstrong\u003eThat drape lets it hold a sweater, a lunch and a book\u003c\/strong\u003e and still sit close to your side. In the photos the inside shows the brushed underside of the leather, with the two sleeves for a phone and sunglasses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKiko lists a leather tie closure, and the black wrap is it: it binds both straps into one grip, so the opening narrows as the bag hangs from your hand or your shoulder. In a packed subway car, turn the handle toward your body and the top of the bag folds in under your arm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCarrying the Gray Modern Tote\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill a 12 inch drop work over a winter coat?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, with room for a thick knit underneath. On a light jacket the tote rides lower, close to the hip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes gray leather darken over time?\u003c\/strong\u003e Handled areas, such as the grip and the top edges, slowly take on a deeper tone and a soft sheen, while the body keeps its lighter gray. A quick weekly dusting helps the color shift evenly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat fits in the inside sleeves?\u003c\/strong\u003e A phone in one and sunglasses or a card case in the other, which keeps them from sinking under everything else in a roomy bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill rain spot gray pebbled leather?\u003c\/strong\u003e Drops tend to sit on the raised grain at first. Blot them straight away with a dry cloth, without rubbing, and let the bag dry at room temperature; rubbing pushes water in and can leave a darker ring on a light shade.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kiko Leather","offers":[{"title":"Grey","offer_id":68282492092717,"sku":"732_5","price":207.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0667\/4553\/2717\/files\/kiko-leather-gray-pebbled-leather-tote-1.jpg?v=1794469480","url":"https:\/\/aysire.com\/products\/gray-pebbled-leather-tote","provider":"Aysire","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
