I have purchased from Charlie Middleton many times, and I am never disappointed. The bags are always made with perfection and craftsmanship, and the Cognac Bespoke Tote is no exception. beautiful leather and very sturdy straps makes this a perfect bag for daily use.
Love my new tote bag. It’s my 3rd from Charlie Middleton and they are all superb.
Great service and the bag turned out amazing! The Cedar leather is the perfect shade of tan and is of quality. The craftsmanship is top notch. I have started using it as my work bag, it fits 13” laptop and the shoulder strap is a great length even over bulky winter coat. Highly recommend and I would definitely be ordering more.

This was my second purchase from Charlie Middleton. It's my favourite thing, I've used it every day since purchasing. The quality and details are second to none. Perfect size for an everyday day. 💕
Beautiful soft bag. Wanted the straps shorter only being 5ft tall. Staff were so accommodating and emailed with photos and sizing. Could not have been more helpful. Bag is of the highest quality and workmanship. Thank you 😊
Perfect and beautifully made
I love it! It’s subtle in its beauty and that keeps catching your eye. It’s also so soft to the touch and use, but also firm and durable. The tote easily sits on your shoulder and doesn’t feel bulky and yet it’s very big and spacious and carries a lot of items. As I’ve mentioned I love how beautiful and demure this bag is!
I’m really enjoying my new bag. It fulfills all my needs and looks great.
