YOU WILL LOVE YOUR BAG

This bag tote is amazing. It fits alot stuff and is so comfortable. This is my 3 rd Rowdy bag. Just love them.

Jamie Leigh Stafford

As soon as my totes arrived, used it immediately. All my junk including lunch bag could fit, no need to carry extra bags which I LOVE! Getting the tan one next.

Nox January

I bought my large dark brown tote in 2016 as an office bag. But it has not only seen me through multiple cross continent work trips, but multiple holidays across the world. It feels classic enough for the board room yet fun enough for a weekend away. It's been 4 years of nearly daily wear and i'm still very happy with it. Getting the tan one next.

I absolutely love my new tote! The small has ample space to serve as a class/university bag and the quality of the bag is noteworthy. The service I received from Rowdy was amazing. I initially order the large tote, but upon delivery realized that it was a tad bit too big for what I wanted to use it for. Within a few days they exchanged it for the smaller one. Very satisfied!

I bought my tote in 2014 and use it daily for everything from a laptop bag to a grocery bag. I have to confess I have not treated it very well, but it has aged extremely well and stands up to any conditions I put it through. One of the best purchases I have ever made.

Raevin Jimenez

I bought TOTE last year January when I was in Cape Town for my birthday. I get compliments everytime . I love the texture ,the smell and the size of it. Now I'm saving up for the laptop bag. I wish you had a layby system :-)

I got the smaller tote bag for work and I have been using it for absolutely everything. It's the perfect size - especially since I'm not really a big hand bag kind of girl - I don't feel like I'm lugging a huge bag around all the time. One of the best investments I've made.

Mignon Venter

I bought my tote almost 4 years ago and it still looks good as new. One of the best purchases that I have ever made. I loved mine so much that I gifted both my mom and aunt with totes too.

Simone

I bought the small tote in the light brown - it is stunning! The leather is so soft and the workmanship is definitely of quality. I bought this bag for my trip overseas. The small is actually big enough - very spacious! Delivery was quick and easy. And the price was really very affordable. I keep telling my friends about the Rowdy brand, as you can't go wrong with Rowdy leather products.

Hannah Markham

I bought my tote 3 years ago, I still use it nearly every day. No matter if I have heavy textbooks or a laptop in it, it has never broken. The leather has worn really nicely and I love it. Works well for any occasion, no matter how informal or professional.

Olivia

I absolutely love my bag and two friends have subsequently ordered after seeing my bag. The price and quality are a perfect fit! I look forward to getting another bag soon as a girl can’t have enough bags surely and this product is a winner! Next on my wish list is the large tote 😉☺️

Jenni

I bought a black sling and the above from you December we were on holiday, love love love the quality of both bags, the above bags stitching on the shoulder straps are coming loose......

Ronelle Ferreira

I just love my new Tote bag! Excellent quality and stunning look. Thanks Rowdy!!

Laetitia Olivier

I ordered my bag last week and it was dispatched and delivered within two days. The workmanship on this bag is beautiful, I am in love. That smell every time you open your bag is beyond compare. Love love love it. I will be adding to my collection as I now think I am addicted.

Liz

Ordered on Thursday morning - in my hands on Friday Morning in PE. How's that for prompt and efficient service? I am so impressed. The small tote (blonde) is gorgeous and I might add not small but, in my opinion, the ideal size. Soft, buttery leather and just what I have been searching for for an overseas trip and I am sure it will become my everyday bag. The price is awesome too compared with many I have seen in my search.

Jenny

Bought this for my mom...she loved it very much.

Rethabile

I have had my small tote since 2016 and I purchased a large tote last year. These totes are durable and wonderful quality. I haved used these bags for school, as a 'mom' bag, a travel bag etc. Great value for money. Keep up the good work Rowdy.

Charissa

Genuine leather. Awesome quality and stylish too.

Olivia

Stunning genuine leather tote.
