Good news, everyone! We may have found the perfect vegan tote! It’s simple, yet beautiful. Fashion-forward, yet practical. Classic, yet cool. And it’s available in our favorite evergreen color: black.
The tote we’re talking about is Maniwala’s ‘Bayan’. It was a little bit like love at first sight, but we all know: It’s really about the inner beauty. And luckily this bag doesn’t disappoint in that department either. It’s vegan, cruelty-free, crafted in the USA and comes with a lifetime guarantee. Ready to have a closer look? We sure are!

The Bayan Tote
The bag is available in black. As mentioned, it is made from Piñatex, which is an all-natural material, that gives the bag its unique texture and look. The tote’s measurements are 32 x 40 x 10 cm (≈12 x 16 x 4″).
If you’re currently not looking to add a tote to your wardrobe, you might want to have a look at some of the other bags Maniwala had in their collection. Two standouts are the Piñatex made backpack and pouch, that follow the same simple aesthetic as the tote.

If you love the tote, but Piñatex isn’t for you, Maniwala’s Bayan Hemp Tote Bag might be for you. The hemp used is of course pesticide-free. The pouch is also available in hemp.
