Sage Green Woven Soft Wicker Maxi Tote

A soft woven maxi tote in muted sage green, made from genuine Italian leather with a hand-knotted intrecciato weave and a drawstring top that gathers into rounded handles. The colour is quiet and a little earthy — an easy alternative to brown for the warm months — and the bag is generous enough for a full day's carry, with a removable zip wallet included. We source these directly in Italy; made by Vera Pelle.

Fabric & feel

Each panel is 100% genuine leather, woven by hand into a dense basket pattern over an unlined, slouchy base. The sage dye is matte and tonal, so the weave reads as texture rather than shine; in Florida light it shifts between olive and soft khaki depending on the angle. Like all full-grain leather it relaxes with wear, settling into a softer drape over the first few weeks.

Fit & sizing

At 15" wide x 7.9" tall x 6.7" deep it is the maxi size in this style — a carry-everything tote rather than a structured handbag. The paired top handles clear the shoulder, and an additional long strap is included if you prefer to wear it lower on the body. The interior gathers shut with a drawstring, and the detachable zip wallet inside gives small essentials a fixed home.

How to wear it

Sage green behaves like a neutral once it is in your hands — it leans into cream, stone, tan, denim and black without any effort. We reach for it with a white poplin shirt and straight jeans, or over a linen dress when the afternoon turns warm. Because green is less expected than a brown tote, it does quiet work as the one note of colour in an otherwise pared-back outfit. Want the warmer option? The same tote comes in tan cognac.

Care

Clean with a soft cloth, barely damp, and dry naturally out of the sun to protect the dye. A colourless leather balm now and then keeps the woven strips from drying out. Pad the inside with tissue when it is stored so the shape stays full, and avoid resting it on damp ground, since the open weave holds moisture. See the rest of our woven bags for more summer carries.
