For us to introduce a totally new product is unusual. An idea has to traverse an exhaustive process of design, trial and review before it is approved for production.
The concept for the Tote Bag collection was for a versatile, unstructured, rugged but stylish, everyday hold-all for a variety of daily usage and modern travel situations.
16L Tote Bag In Walnut Suede & 20L Tote Bag in Khaki Green Twill CanvasLike all Westley Richards leather goods, the Tote Bag has been designed and constructed, in Birmingham to the very highest standards and will last a lifetime of hard use.
No compromises are permitted in our production process and our experienced artisans use the very finest hides, fabrics and traditional construction techniques to make unique heirloom-quality pieces for the discerning adventurer; whether on a weekend away in the city or a week on the hill in the Highlands.
As one would expect, current Westley Richards design cues are evident in every facet of the product, with our distinctive custom brassware, leather trim and in-house designed lining. Adjustable straps offer greater control for any intended use.
We have launched the Tote Bag in two useful sizes: 16-litre capacity and 20-litre capacity. The smaller bag (16L) is an everyday companion, featuring a handy laptop pocket, while the larger one (20L) provides extra storage for longer trips.
16L Tote Bag in Buffalo & 20L Tote Bag in Petrol Blue Twill CanvasWith starting prices at £695 for a canvas version, ranging up to £1,150 for buffalo hide, there is a Tote Bag for most pockets. Westley Richards leather goods are not inexpensive but they are made to last a lifetime and to age gracefully, gaining character, and becoming much-loved companions. Nothing else compares.
Options announced for the launch edition include colour-fast walnut suede, genuine buffalo hide and British canvas twill. This season’s special editions are the new Halley Stevenson twill canvas in either Petrol Blue or Khaki Green. These were first introduced as special orders with the Bishop Hill Bag.
The value of these ‘Hand made in Birmingham’ classics becomes more apparent when the work that goes into producing each one is appreciated, which visitors to our Pritchett Street factory soon discover.
We know our bags are the best of their kind in the world and we expect the new Tote Bag to become an instant classic. Both the 16-L and the 20-L Tote bags can now be viewed and purchased from Westley Richards via the online store at:
