Story & heritage

The official product copy positions The Knotty Tote as a larger-scale variation of the beloved Gioia, extending the brand’s hand-knotted leather language into a lighter, roomier day-to-evening tote.

On the official best-sellers page, The Knotty Tote appears in multiple colours, confirming it as one of the current core families rather than a one-off seasonal piece.

Materials & craft

The official page says the tote is hand knotted from thin strips of calf leather by artisans for up to 72 hours, lined with a silk drawstring pouch, and wearable with or without the lining. Listed measurements are 35 cm wide, 20 cm high, 15 cm deep and a 16 cm handle drop; the page states it is handmade in India.

How to choose & style

Use it when a classic tote feels too flat: the knotting adds texture without heavy hardware. Black is the cleanest city option; tan, neutral and white soften the same shape for resort or warm-weather dressing.
