Description
This Megatote is part of our on-the-go-assortment. It is designed to hold everything you need when on the go. We’d been looking for a bag with a little extra room to store all our precious belongings when moving around, and eventually decided to make one ourselves. It is made to carry your laptop, documents, a few personal items that you need throughout the day, or for a night away. It is that big. The design however makes it perfect regardless of how much, or little, you put in it.
The Megatote is made in surplus leather and has a small pocket for smaller valuables inside. The pocket can be taken out and reattached with old-brass snap buttons.
Our on-the-go-assortment is not an entry into the broader handbag market. Many other brands do handbags better than we will ever be able to. We stay within storage and our on-the-go objects are developed from the same principles of simplicity, functionality, and aesthetics as our other storage objects.
Dimensions: 52cm high x 48 cm wide, straps long enough to get over the shoulder
Material: Surplus leather. The exact type of leather may differ from time to time, as this box is made from surplus leather and the leather quality used therefore depends on the available screenings of leather. The leather is however always among the highest quality of European leather
Colour: Black both on the exterior and interior. The exact colour may change depending on the available surplus leather, but it is always a beautiful matte black
Production location: Handmade in Portugal
Logo placement: Discreetly blind debossed outside between the handles
Personalisation: Possible to deboss initials, name, monogram or logo on the tote

Cherish your precious belongings
It was during a personal search for storage solutions that the vision for August Sandgren originated. I, Pia, who directs the company, love a decluttered environment and I like it to be functional, high-quality, and aesthetic. I couldn’t find any storage objects that met all my demands. We discovered August Sandgren, and by integrating our vision with his unbelievable heritage, we believe we can create functional and aesthetic boxes, folders, and holders, which suits today’s world but rendered in a quality unparalleled by anyone other than traditional craftsmen.
We believe we succeeded, and fortunately, our customers agree.
Crafted by hand in the best available materials
Each August Sandgren object is crafted by hand in Portugal by a fourth-generation family of craftsmen. They are not only incredibly talented, but also very dear to us.
The leather and fabrics that we use are all sourced in Europe and from leading tanneries offering transparency; from the origin of the hide to their Oeko-tex certified tanning processes.
Today, most of our objects are crafted in surplus materials sourced from the world’s leading furniture and fashion brands – we are not only very proud to contribute to waste reduction, but also to work with a quality that does not get any better!
It is easy to keep your object beautiful
We craft our objects to last – both in their construction and in our choice of materials. The construction is perfected in every aspect to ensure that it lasts, and to a large extent, so will the leather. The leather will, however, patinate, which we believe is part of its beauty and a testimony to how natural a product we create. To maintain our objects in the best possible way, and to keep it moist, you should leave it out of direct sunlight and every couple of years, treat it with leather grease – just use a soft, clean, cotton cloth and a thin layer of grease, and that’s it!
Make it personal!
All our leather objects can be personalised with name or initials. It is a small addition with a huge and valuable potential for appreciation from the receiver – that person being yourself or someone dear to you.
Personalising your object is easy and only increases delivery time with a maximum of two-three days.
