Madewell Women's The Handwoven Leather Tote

I couldn’t be more pleased with my new woven transport bag! The craftsmanship is truly exceptional—each strand is tightly and evenly woven, giving the bag a sturdy, durable feel while still looking effortlessly stylish. The natural texture and rich, earthy tones make it a timeless piece that pairs beautifully with any outfit. The size is perfect for everyday use or light travel—spacious enough to carry essentials like a laptop, a book, and a water bottle, yet lightweight so it’s comfortable to carry all day. The handles are strong and smooth, and the bag holds its shape wonderfully, even when full. What I love most is how versatile it is. It feels equally at home on a weekend market trip, at the beach, or even as a chic carry-on for short flights. I’ve already received multiple compliments and questions about where I found it!

AMAZING BAG. I use this as a toddler mom and it has more than enough space for what I carry, including a 40oz water bottle. I love it, looks chic and the straps are very comfy. The inside sheds a bit at first but it’s real leather!

Gorgeous color, excellent quality

I’m absolutely obsessed with this tote. With sloped shoulders, I usually struggle to keep bags in place—but this one stays perfectly put, which is a game-changer. What really sets it apart, though, is the design: the elegant braided texture and classic structure give it a sophisticated, Chanel-inspired look that instantly elevates any outfit. I chose the white, which feels timeless and polished—perfect for both everyday wear and more refined occasions. It strikes that rare balance between style and function, and for the quality, the price is impressively reasonable. If you’re a woman who appreciates understated luxury with everyday practicality, this tote is a must. You won’t regret it.

Love this green color! The coffee was a bit less shiny, which is odd because I have the shoulder bag in coffee and it’s just as shiny! Seriously so spacious, and the color is perfect. Obsessed.

Love this bag! I just needed it to be a bit more structured so I had to return.

I like the bag but it’s lacking features I care for. Mine came with no magnetic closure at all No lining- just the floppy inside/attached zipper pocket No bottom support to keep the bag upright or the bottom straight while on body But it is a perfectly sized tote- does fit my 15in laptop and my body. The handle measurements work for my 5’3 frame. I bought the green color and it’s nice but I will be sending this back for someone else that wants to buy.

Beautiful bag, beautiful color.
