Introducing how to choose a tote bag and recommended bags for adult men!
Hello, I'm Nakajima, a designer at HushTug.
In this article, I will be discussing how to choose a leather tote bag that suits adult men.
What kind of bags do you usually use?
Some of you may use casual bags like backpacks or shoulder bags, while others may prefer tote bags.
There are many types of bags, but the one I use most often is definitely a leather tote bag.
While I simply like black leather totes, they are also a fashion item where trends change slowly, making them less susceptible to passing fads. This is probably why I use them so frequently.
They are a classic item, so if you're ever unsure, you can't go wrong with a leather tote bag.
However, leather tote bags are released by various brands, and many of you may be thinking, "Honestly, which one should I choose?"
So, this time, I'd like to share some key points for choosing a leather tote bag that will make you say, "If I just follow these, I'll be fine!"
Finally, I'll introduce some recommended tote bags, so please read until the end.
3 Ways to Choose a Leather Tote Bag
1st: Choosing the right size (A4 size is best)
First, let's talk about size.
Personally, I recommend a size that can fit an A4 file.
The reason for this is its versatility for both work and casual use.
It's very convenient because you can use it for both business and personal occasions.
I used to use different bags for different purposes, but it's really easy to just use one now.
A bag that can fit an A4 file or a 13-inch laptop will be useful in many situations.
However, there are some caveats.
If the size is too large, it may throw off the balance of your outfit.
Since bags often sit in the center of your body, if it's too large, your overall style can look awkward.
Of course, it's trendy to intentionally choose a larger bag these days, but be careful as an awkwardly large size can easily look unstylish.
Tote bags look neater and more stylish if they're not overstuffed.
Try to adjust the amount of items you carry.
2nd: Choose one with a zipper
The next point is the presence or absence of a zipper.
From my experience, I recommend a tote bag with a zipper.
I've used bags without zippers before, but honestly, I felt uneasy about security.
Although the chances of something actually being stolen might be low, I still worried about it.
Also, many customers who visit HushTug's Ikebukuro store are looking for "a tote bag with a zipper."
Furthermore, having a zipper helps protect the contents of your bag from sudden rain.
It's not completely waterproof, but the presence of a zipper makes a big difference in how wet the contents get.
Another great point is that if the bag tips over, the contents won't scatter.
With a bag without a zipper, items can spill out, but having a zipper eliminates such worries.
When in doubt, choose one with a zipper.
3rd: Choose a simple design
The third point is design.
When choosing a leather tote bag, a simple design is recommended.
Since leather tote bags are a classic item, it's better to think of the bag as a supporting player that enhances other fashion items, rather than making the bag itself too prominent.
This way, it becomes a versatile item that can be matched with various outfits.
A simple design also increases convenience as it can be used for both work and casual occasions.
There are two key points to emphasize to enhance your fashion.
The first is size.
As explained earlier, a balanced size that can fit A4 is best.
The second is color. I recommend choosing darker colors.
Darker colors blend well with any fashion and serve as a complementary piece.
Furthermore, they give off a mature impression, which is highly recommended.
By keeping these points in mind, you should be able to choose a tote bag without making any major mistakes.

Now that I've shared how to choose a bag, for those wondering, "Which bag should I actually choose?", I'll introduce a recommended tote bag.
I recommend the HushTug leather tote bag.
Thankfully, this tote bag has received a high rating of 4.4 out of 5 stars in reviews, and is ranked #1 in Rakuten's tote bag category.
Looking at the reviews, you can see that the points I mentioned earlier are highly praised.
Let me introduce the features of this bag based on the selection points.
Fits A4 size
This bag is sized to fit A4 files, 13-inch laptops, and even just barely 16-inch laptops. It has enough capacity for a 1-2 day trip, but its characteristic is that the gusset narrows towards the top, giving it a smart appearance.
With zipper
Of course, it has a zipper. However, the zipper is designed to be invisible from the outside, giving it an even simpler look.
Simple design
HushTug is a leather brand that pursues ultimate simplicity. This leather tote is thoroughly simple, with no logo on the front and absolutely no unnecessary embellishments.
Furthermore, while simple, it also pursues a sense of luxury, and the surface of the bag has no visible stitching.
This is a technique also used in high-end brand bags, and by producing it with a single piece of leather, it maximizes the natural texture of the leather, resulting in a more luxurious finish.
✅ For those undecided about purchasing
You might be wondering, "What reasons did people give for returning their HushTug tote bags?"
Reading an article that summarizes return reasons might help you avoid thinking, "This isn't what I expected."
Summary
Here are the three ways to choose a leather tote bag that I introduced:
- Choose a size that can fit A4
- Add security with a zipper
- Opt for a simple design to match various styles
By keeping these points in mind, you're sure to find a wonderful leather tote bag that you'll cherish for a long time.
Everyone, find the perfect leather tote bag for you and enjoy your daily coordination!
