From office sirens to coquette and fisherman aesthetics, TikTok trends come and go quickly, but one bag has managed to remain a staple on the app: Madewell’s Handwoven Leather Tote. Available in a range of colors and styles, the bag is a favorite amongst editors and influencers alike for its luxe, elevated design and everyday versatility. And now, as part of Madewell’s Spring Sale, you can snag one of the brand’s coveted woven bags for 20% off.
As an editor who’s personally tested and vetted Madewell’s totes, trust me, there’s a reason this one is constantly trending on TikTok. (And it’s not just because it’s been dubbed the “perfect everyday bag that screams quiet luxury.”) The handwoven leather style may be loved for its chic, understated design that looks luxe without breaking the bank, but it also earned its internet fame because it’s equally functional. Whether you’re looking for a new work bag, a travel tote, or just an everyday bag you can use for any occasion, the leather design is spacious and durable enough to carry all your essentials. Plus, it features an interior pocket with a zipper and a handle drop that’s low enough to tote around comfortably while on the go—even if you’re wearing a jacket or coat.
Along with the best-selling tote, Madewell offers a range of handwoven leather designs in various sizes and styles that you can shop as part of the 20% off sale right now — all of which would serve as the perfect bag refresh for all your spring and summer plans. So if you’re in the market for a new leather bag, this is your moment — Madewell’s sale runs now through May 12, and these editor-approved favorites won’t stay in stock for long.
