Doddington Tweed Tote

A tote bag is never, ever going to be a bad idea – functional and forever a design classic. Our Doddington tote, named after the elegant Doddington Hall in Lincolnshire, is an instant outfit elevator. The classic pairing of tweed with a gorgeous tan croc marries beautifully to create a sophisticated country style that transitions effortlessly to the city.

I created this bag for my sister (and all other women like her) – a busy working mother and leader who needed a bag that could adapt and seamlessly transition from playground drop-off to city boardroom, via a meeting at a country event venue. It's a timeless style for those who demand functionality and security, topped off with the practicality of a multi-use product. The Doddington tote ticks all these boxes, embodying the essence of modern women – adaptable, hardworking, and ever stylish.

As versatile as you are, the Doddington's size and secure zipped closure make it ideal for your daily commute. It's spacious enough to easily carry your lunch, water, and laptop (as well as an umbrella for those drizzly runs from the station), and a lot more besides. Its generous proportions allow it to seamlessly morph into a fabulous nappy bag, an upgrade for your carry-on, or even double as a compact overnight bag.

With its elegant shape, the bag boasts a leather base and a zipped top closure with leather facings. Large enough to hold a standard 13" laptop in a purpose-designed pocket, the main compartment is thoughtfully organized so you can find what you need instantly. The interior features a zipped pocket (perfect for your essentials) with our unique pen slot built into its leather surround. An integrated key chain means no more rummaging in the depths of your bag – your keys are always accessible and to hand.

We've added another interior zipped pocket and even squeezed in a dedicated holder to keep your travel mug upright – no more spills, and you'll always know where to find it. The result? An interior that's tidy, organised, allowing you to locate what you need at a moment's notice.

The exterior of the bag showcases three concealed pockets – two on the back and one on the front. The back pockets are designed to lie flush against your body; one is perfect for your phone, while the other is ideal for sunglasses. The front pocket, with its discreet poppered closure under the flap, is just right for air pods, mints, or a lip balm.

In the Doddington tote, we've created (what we hope you'll agree is) more than just a bag. It's a companion that understands and anticipates your needs, keeping pace with your life while never compromising on style. It's the essence of what modern women need and deserve – a blend of functionality, elegance, and versatility.
