The Margaux Structured Faux-Leather Shoulder Tote
DAEYL
When will my order arrive?
Orders are usually handed to the carrier the next business day (up to 3 business days at busy times). Most orders arrive within 8–16 business days of being placed, with a tracking link emailed at dispatch.
Will I pay customs duties or import taxes?
Duties and import taxes are not collected at checkout. Where your country charges them, the carrier or customs bills the recipient. In the US the old duty-free allowance for small parcels no longer applies, so duty may be charged on any order. We always declare the true value.
How do returns work?
You have 30 days from delivery. Email us your order number and photos; we reply within 2 business days with a return authorization. Items must be unworn with tags. If something arrives damaged, defective or wrong, we cover return shipping; for change of mind, return shipping is paid by you. Refunds go back to your original payment method within 5–10 business days.
How do I choose my size?
Check the Size & Fit section in the description: where the maker provides garment measurements we list them in cm and inches. Lay a similar piece you own flat, measure it and compare. Still unsure? Email us before ordering and we will help.
How can I pay? Is checkout secure?
Pay by credit or debit card, or with PayPal. You do not need a PayPal account. Checkout runs on Shopify's encrypted checkout.
Can I cancel or change my order?
Yes, for a full refund, as long as your request reaches us before the order is handed to the carrier (usually within 24 hours). After dispatch, the normal return process applies.
The Bag That Ends the Tote Search. Structure Without the Stiffness.
The Margaux is the working tote cut the way a handbag is cut. A firm faux-leather shell holds its shape upright on the desk instead of collapsing into a heap, the panels are seamed to keep the silhouette square through the day, and the shoulder straps sit long enough to clear a coat. Inside, a laptop, a folder and everything else disappear cleanly — and a magnetic clasp closes it in one motion, one-handed, on the train.
Key Features
-
Holds Its Shape All Day: Medium-firm faux leather with a structured base — the bag stands on its own rather than slumping, so it still reads sharp at 6pm.
-
Real Working Capacity: A wide, deep main compartment built for a 13–14" laptop, an A4 folder, a water bottle and the rest of it, without the shape distorting.
-
One-Handed Magnetic Clasp: Closes with a single press. No zipper to fight, no flap to wrestle — and the opening still sits closed on a crowded commute.
-
Interior Phone Pocket: A dedicated slip pocket keeps the phone reachable instead of lost at the bottom of the bag.
-
Shoulder-Length Straps: Cut to clear a winter coat and a blazer shoulder, so the bag hangs where you want it instead of riding up under the arm.
-
Two Ways to Wear It: Two solid neutrals for a bag that disappears into every outfit; two tonal color-block finishes for one that carries the look on its own.
Material & Craftsmanship
-
Material: Faux (PU) leather with a smooth matte grain.
-
Structure: Medium firmness — enough body to stand upright, enough give to sit flat against the side when half-empty.
-
Closure: Magnetic clasp.
-
Interior: Single open main compartment with a phone slip pocket; unlined interior finish.
-
Carry: Twin shoulder straps.
-
Weight: Approximately 490 g (1.1 lb) empty.
-
Care: Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and air dry away from direct heat. Store stuffed with paper to hold the shape. Keep away from prolonged direct sunlight, which dulls the matte finish.
Curated Color Palette
-
Black: Deep and matte, with warm-toned hardware — the version that works with a suit and with denim equally.
-
Off-White & Khaki: A soft cream body paneled with muted khaki. The lightest option in the range and the one that lifts a dark winter coat.
-
Khaki & Brown: Warm khaki panels against a deep chocolate trim — the most autumnal of the four, and the easiest to wear with camel and cream.
-
Brown: A rich, even espresso brown. The sophisticated alternative to black for daytime dressing.
Styling Notes
Worn over a wool coat with tailored trousers, the Margaux reads as the working bag. Carried in the hand against a knit dress, it reads as the day bag. It is deliberately unbranded — no logo hardware, no monogram — so it dates by nothing except how you wear it.
