Product Insights & Style Tips

City-smart and tactile, the New York textured-leather tote arrives with a confident presence. The bag is crafted in Spain from textured cow leather with a grainy surface that catches light just so. Gold-tone hardware and a signature belt-and-clasp detail at the front punctuate the sculptural silhouette. Inside, a cotton lining keeps daily items feeling calm, while colorways run from black small grain with gold hardware to Mocha and Dark Taupe.

Two top handles with a 6-inch drop sit comfortably on the shoulder or crook of the arm, and the generous 21 by 11.5 by 6 inch proportions translate to a roomy interior capable of carrying documents and a laptop with room to spare. A magnetic snap tab and snap closures secure the top, and interior pockets help organize small essentials. The triangular folds at the sides give the tote its distinctive shape, and protective metal feet keep it steady on busy surfaces as you move through day to night.

Within the New York collection, this tote anchors DeMellier's modern, city-ready coding—refined texture, clean lines, and understated luxury. Pair it with tailoring for a sharp worklook, or with denim and a blazer for off duty polish; the bag's scale and texture transition smoothly across settings and outfits.
