No matter where your wanderlust takes you, the Wayfarer Tote Bag is a good friend for the journey. We call it the “not-too” bag. It’s not too big, not too small, not too heavy, not too imposing and not too fancy. Just like Baby Bear’s porridge – it’s just right. But, don’t let the quiet, classic nature of the Wayfarer confound you… it is definitely up to the task.
“The Wayfarer was my first Colonel Littleton bag, so it’s special to me. I’ve had this tote for a long time. It’s just the right size for any activity and will hold everything you need. The quality is exceptional and will last a lifetime.” -Tracy
Three inches taller than the Wayfarer Tote, the No. 9B Tote carries a lot – plenty of room for your laptop, tablet, portfolio… and all the other stuff you can’t leave home without. And the feeling of America’s best leather – dry-milled to supple, soft perfection – is hard to beat. It may be the best feeling (and smelling) purse you’ll ever carry.
“I looked far and wide for just the right tote, and I found it here. It is everything I was looking for… the perfect size, a beautiful, rich color with unique markings, sensible inside pockets and a simple closure… Classy without being froofy! The quality and craftsmanship are EXCELLENT, which means you are true to your word (which is sometimes hard to come by these days), and this tote will last for generations!” -Heidi

The Bentley Tote is beautifully textured, featuring our rich, deep Tobacco Brown American Buffalo and trimmed in Vintage Brown American Steerhide for a pleasing contrast. This Tote Bag serves as a handbag and briefcase rolled into one making it perfect for business and pleasure.
“When I received my Bentley tote, I was thrilled. Nothing like having a bag you can always depend on. The craftsmanship of it is that of no other. Sturdy, roomy, and beautiful to look at. I will never carry another bag unless it’s another Col. Littleton product.” -Jennifer
