The Daily Tote is designed to keep your work and travel essentials organized and accessible. Variable carry options and extensive pockets allow this bag to suit a variety of needs. A freestanding tote with a padded bottom, the Daily Tote maintains its structure and style no matter where you take it. A padded laptop sleeve protects up to a 16” device and the water-resistant materials and zippers fend off the elements.

This run of Daily Totes was manufactured by Industrial Stitch Tech in North Hollywood, California. IST has been in business since 1996. They make soft goods that meet the highest standards of quality—among the best we have seen from manufacturers domestically or abroad.

A laptop focused messenger bag without velcro or dangling closure straps. The main flap closes with a two tier Fidlock system, that adapts to variable load sizes, and keeps the contents dry. A quick access zipper allows for laptop removal without opening the flap or storage of oversized items like a bottle of wine.

After the main compartment access our next focus was how the bag carries. The highlight is our newly developed Club Strap - a sandwich of binding, webbing, and foam - that provides cushion and support in a low profile package. The Club Strap is removable, ambidextrous, and works with the included stabilizer strap. The Fidlock V-Buckle makes adjustment and quick removal straightforward. Structural reinforcements at the strap attachment points and a padded back panel complete the suspension and provide all day comfort. Stash the stabilizer strap G-Hook in a daisy chain loop when not in use.

The rest of the Messenger features modern amenities that make it ideal for daily carry on foot or bicycle. Padded laptop sleeve fits a 14” Macbook and secures with a magnetic closure. Dual stash pockets on the back panel keep flat items secure against the wearer’s body and the internal zip pocket provides further organization.

Made in the 1733 studio in Chicago, USA
