About the handles: These are real leather, hand cut with English Point ends and pre-punched with four holes for easy rivet attachment. Each handle is cut from 9/10oz leather and is 3/4" wide. They will soften beautifully with use. As a natural material, leather may show small marks or variations and can deepen in color over time—adding character to your finished bag.

Ideal for carrying files, books, tablets, and laptops, this DIY tote bag kit delivers a modern, minimalist look with practical features and a comfortable fit. Build confidence as you sew, learn new techniques, and finish with a sturdy, everyday bag you’ll be proud to use and gift.

The bag is approximately 15" high, 25" high with handles and 15" wide.
