Product Description

Brand new tote from In Blue Handmade! The bag is our first boho curved bag! We are so proud to announce the release of our "Marie Tote". This last Christmas, my team came to me with the best gift, a classic bag designed by Allan Block, renowned leatherworker in NYC during the 60s and 70s. Based in Greenwich Village, Allan made sandals and straps for everyone on the scene at the time, including Bob Dylan himself. As an avid fan of Appalachian music, he was a major part of the culture during this pivotal time in folk history. This bag is a tribute to him, his little shop in the city, and all of the musicians and artists who stopped by to say hi, shop his goods, and be a part of this amazing time in our history.

Our leather just officially got a full makeover! We now have a DECLARE label on all of the leather in this line, ensuring the lowest eco-footprint possible with NO HARSH chemicals, meeting the highest standards of excellence in leather tanning. This means our tanning and farming process meets the highest humane practices with the farms we work with and state of the art water filtration systems and labor practices with the tanneries that work with these farms! We are so excited to introduce you to this leather! Made from our eco-tanned, second-source leather, this is a beautiful piece that will last a lifetime.

This bag comes with a single shoulder strap that has a 12" drop OR an adjustable crossbody strap, (ranges 36-45") (detachable and fully attached versions!) Need a longer crossbody?  We can do that for no extra charge, please purchase then send us a message, and we can make it happen!
