5 Reasons to Buy a Leather Tote Bag from Glaser Designs

One of the best investments you can make in yourself is a custom, made-to-measure leather tote bag. If you have ever owned one, or you are thinking about getting one, then you need to know a few things first. Like other good leather products, there are many varieties, styles, and shapes of leather totes out there, and knowing what is out there will help you make an educated purchase. You also need to know what size and shape you should get. You can find leather tote bags in almost any size imaginable. Some totes are just big plastic bags with no real structure and others are so structured it feels as if you're carrying a giant cereal box in your arms.

One of the main features of a leather tote bag is the top handles. Like any other top handle, it allows for easy access to the interior of the bag, but also adds to its style and helps it stand out as part of the overall product. The most popular type of tote bag is the flat top, where the entire bag is completely covered in leather and its contents are protected by a zipper. This zipper area is usually made of a durable nylon fabric that is closed with a hook & loop strap. In this case, you can use any style or design of the handle, whether you like a more traditional look, or something a bit more trendy.

Another option that leather tote bag consumers have available to them is the open totes. The open-top is one that looks exactly like a tote bag, but instead of having the interior protected by a zipper, the bag will be open for easy access. With a Glaser Designs, made-to-order leather tote bag with open top handles you can also supplement your tote with an internal zipper organizer, allowing you to keep things arranged with ease. The real benefit of this feature though is the ease with which you'll be able to access the contents of the bag.

If you'd prefer, you can also find a large tote with magnetic closures that are perfect for outings and trips to the gym. With these bags, you won't have to worry about your bag being susceptible to the harsh elements of the environment because it will be virtually water-resistant thanks to its sturdy, protective zipper. In addition, with its magnetic closure, you can avoid having to deal with confusing straps that are sometimes hard to use and difficult to figure out. Magnetic closure bags also usually have adjustable straps, which allow you to choose a firm fit that's comfortable for you.

What is Hand-Grained Leather?

On a video call, Glaser Designs will show you examples of leather that was hand-colored so you can see how they differ from tannery colored hides. They will also explain why hand-grained effects differ within each hide and from one hide to another. The folks at Glaser Design will mix water-based dyes to the colors the customer specifies. The color-fast, pigment-free hues enhance the hide's natural characteristics further thus creating a one-of-a-kind look.
