1 Leather Tote Bag, 2 Looks: A Versatile Work-to-Weekend Essential

Looking for a stylish everyday tote bag that actually fits your life? Meet the Slouchy Leather Expandable Tote Bag—a minimalist leather work tote that secretly handles your 9-to-5 (and 5-to-9) with clever, chaos-proof features.

Crafted from smooth, premium Nappa leather, it’s designed to look sleek on the outside—but inside? A padded 16-inch laptop sleeve, internal bottle holder (it’s even Stanley-cup compatible), our signature easy-spot key clip, 3 internal pockets and a coffee-coloured lining you can actually see into. Comfy shoulder straps and base patches protect your back and your bag.

And the best part? Expandable sides with hidden magnets, so you can change the shape depending on your day. Plus, a magnetic top closure that keeps everything tucked away—no more wide-open tote drama.

A versatile leather tote bag that’s practical, polished and surprisingly roomy. We’ve styled it 2 ways to show how it works for both office days and off-duty weekends. Happy scrolling (and outfit planning).

LOOK 1: FOR WORK

A 10/10 outfit for those 3/10 brain mornings. We’ve styled the Slouchy Leather Tote in Black with rich cocoa tones, a matching vest-and-skirt set and snake-embossed boots that mean business. Sleek silver accessories add polish, while the tote’s relaxed silhouette keeps it feeling effortless—not too corporate.

The whole look? Giving boss energy. And our Slouchy Tote? Quietly carrying the chaos.

LOOK 2: FOR WEEKENDS

Laidback linen and warm tones = a perfect match. We’ve styled the Slouchy Tote in Tan with a breezy neutral mini dress (hello, Euro summer vibes), tonal sandals and a wide-brim hat. Vintage-tinted sunnies and classic gold hoops pull it all together.

Casual but considered, comfy but cute. Whether you’re brunching, market-hopping or taking the long way home via your favourite bakery, the Slouchy Tote’s got room for all the just-in-case extras.

Hot Mess? Never Heard of Her. We’re calling it Version 3.0—but really, it’s just the best version yet. After selling over 60,000 of our mid-sized toiletry bags (yep, sixty thousand), we’ve taken all your feedback, real-life packing chaos, and tiny-but-mighty requests—and levelled things up. Meet the new MVP Bon Voyage Travel Toiletry Bag: Now with 15 purposeful pockets (you thought 14 was enough...we didn't), a large zipped back pocket, a tuck-away hook AND a cute matching mesh pouch to house medication, bobby pins, cotton wool. Still with a layout that actually helps bottles stand up instead of rolling around like they’re in a tumble dryer. Still washable. Still no grimy plastic windows. Still with coffee-coloured lining so makeup doesn't show up as much. Still weirdly roomy in all the right ways. Even if you’re not travelling, it’s a game-changer at home—keeping your counters clean, everything in one spot, and ready to grab if an overnight stay pops up. Need something smaller? Our Slimline Travel Toiletry Bag has your back for gym runs, overnighters, or those “I’ll just throw a few things in” moments. Compact, also washable, and deceptively spacious—it holds more than you'd expect without making a scene. And because tangled jewellery is a crime: Our new Travel Jewellery Case has room for 8 pairs of earrings, a watch, necklaces (without the knots), and even the hair bits you always forget until it’s too late. Thoughtfully laid out, made for travel, but just as handy at home. We design for the everyday—the last-minute pack, the after-work dash, the “wait, how am I so organised?” moments. No fluff, no fuss. Just smart details, better materials, and cool-but-useful things that make life smoother. They’re ready to go. Are you? SHOP THE ON-THE-GO-ACCESSORIES COLLECTION HERE.

5 Handy Accessories We Don’t Actually Sell: Productivity Edition

We know that staying focused can be a challenge, especially when your brain decides that now is the perfect time to reorganise your spice drawer instead of finishing that task. So, here are 5 Amazon finds that’ll help you stay on track, tick off your to-do list, and feel like the productive queen you are. 1. Productivity Timer If you struggle with focus, a productivity timer is a game-changer. This digital version lets you set focus sessions with short breaks in between, helping you work in bursts without getting burnt out. Bonus: it’s cute enough to keep on your desk. 2. Laptop Stand If your work-from-home setup isn’t exactly ergonomic (aka you’re hunched over like a gremlin), a laptop stand with built-in storage can help. It raises your screen to eye level while giving you a little hidden spot to stash stationery, sticky notes or more importantly, snacks. 3. Magnetic Fridge Whiteboard For keeping track of appointments, meal plans, or random life admin that always seems to get forgotten. A magnetic fridge whiteboard means no more digging through notes on your phone—just scribble, glance, and get on with your day. 4. Bluetooth Label Maker Because a clutter-free, labelled space = a clutter-free mind. A bluetooth label maker lets you print custom labels straight from your phone, so you can organise everything from your desk to your pantry without dealing with old-school label tape. 5. Cord Organiser Clips If your desk setup looks more like a tangled mess of cables than a workspace, cord organiser clips will be your new best friend. Stick them to your desk, pop your charger cables in, and say goodbye to fishing for fallen cords under your chair mid-Zoom call. Also perfect for the bedside table if you TikTok 'til the wee hours, drain your phone battery and would rather lean out to reach the charger and risk falling out than simply get uncosy to plug it in. Can't get enough handy accessories? Shop ours now. What handy productivity gadget can't you live without? Tell us below!

Bag Material Guide: What Makes Bon Maxie Bags Work Harder?

Material matters. From the weight to the feel, durability, and even how easy it is to clean—every detail plays a role in making your bag work as hard as you do. We’ve searched high and low for materials that balance function and style, so you get a bag that not only looks good but stands up to daily life. Here’s the lowdown on each one. Full-Grain Leather The luxurious stuff. Our full-grain, sustainably-sourced leather is top tier and gets even better with age. Each piece has its own unique grain and maintains its natural strength, giving you that premium feel with long-lasting wear. Our leather is from a Leather Working Group-approved tannery, gold rated for its ongoing environmental and sustainability practices. TPU-Coated Canvas Looks good, works harder. Canvas can be a catchall for EVERY spec of dust. So, we use a custom TPU-coated canvas which repels it and makes your bag splashproof and wipeable. An ideal material for hardy, day-to-day wear. Water-Resistant Nylon Lightweight and splashproof. Our water-resistant nylon helps protect from accidental splashes and dirt while staying soft and flexible. It’s easy to wear, easy to clean, and made for wherever your day takes you. Coffee-Coloured Nylon Lining Seeing inside your bag shouldn't be a luxury. Each of our bag designs has coffee-coloured, water-resistant nylon lining making it easy to see inside and give you a moment to clean up spills, not absorb them. Ready for a bag that works as hard as you do? Check out our range of thoughtfully-made bags here.
