The Marc Jacobs The Medium Tote is engineered for daily versatility and organized convenience. Its spacious main compartment easily accommodates items like a small laptop or tablet, a book, a cosmetic bag, and a water bottle, making it ideal for work, errands, or casual outings. The three internal pockets are perfect for segmenting smaller essentials: use one for your phone, another for keys, and the third for a wallet or cardholder, ensuring quick access and preventing items from getting lost at the bottom of the bag. The zipper closure adds a crucial layer of security, keeping your belongings safe during transit, whether you're navigating crowded spaces or simply setting your bag down.
Carrying the tote is adaptable to your needs. The two top handles offer a classic hand-carry or arm-carry option for quick grabs or a more structured look. For hands-free convenience, attach the detachable and adjustable shoulder strap. Adjust its length from 95 cm to 145 cm to find your most comfortable fit, whether you prefer it resting on your shoulder or worn crossbody for added security, especially during travel or busy days. The shape-retaining canvas ensures the bag maintains its structure even when lightly filled, presenting a polished look throughout your day. Its 780g weight ensures it won't add unnecessary burden, even when fully packed.
Your Marc Jacobs The Medium Tote arrives ready for immediate use. The main setup involves adjusting the detachable shoulder strap to your preferred length.
Attach the strap: Locate the silver-colored metal clips on each end of the shoulder strap. Securely clip them to the D-rings located on the sides of the bag, near the top handles.
Adjust the length: Use the slider buckle on the strap to extend or shorten it. Test different lengths by wearing the bag on your shoulder or crossbody until you find a comfortable and convenient fit for your height and carrying preference.
This medium-sized tote is designed to be a versatile companion.
Capacity: It can comfortably hold items such as a small laptop (up to 13 inches, depending on thickness), a tablet, a standard water bottle, a small umbrella, a wallet, phone, and other daily essentials.
Style: Its casual blue cotton canvas aesthetic makes it suitable for a wide range of everyday settings, from shopping trips and coffee dates to casual work environments or weekend excursions.
Proper care will maintain the appearance and longevity of your cotton canvas tote.
Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt or stains, gently wipe the affected area with a clean, damp cloth (use lukewarm water) and a small amount of mild soap. Blot, do not rub aggressively, to avoid damaging the fabric or spreading the stain.
Drying: Allow the bag to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can cause fading or material distortion. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Storage: When not in use, store your tote in a cool, dry place, ideally in a dust bag to protect it from dust and scratches. Stuff it lightly with tissue paper or a soft cloth to help retain its shape.
Avoid Excessive Weight: While durable, consistently overloading the bag with excessively heavy items can strain the handles and stitching over time.
Protection from Liquids: Cotton canvas is not fully waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or spills. If it gets wet, blot dry immediately and allow to air dry.
Metal Hardware Care: Wipe silver-colored metal detailing with a soft, dry cloth to keep it shiny and prevent tarnishing.
