Our Mission: The Perfect Everyday Bag

Hi, I’m Jared. Along with my partners Laura and Leo, we launched Toli Tote in 2024 with one simple goal: to create the perfect everyday bag.

We’ve always loved bags, but like a lot of people, we ended up with a stack of options that didn’t really do it for us. They were either too flimsy, too stylish to be practical, or too bulky to fit into everyday life

Why we needed something better

There was a clear gap in the market. We wanted a bag that was minimalist, durable, and functional. Something you could use every day—no compromises.

 

Design Without Shortcuts

So, we set out to design the bag we knew was missing. We didn’t want to take shortcuts. We worked closely with trusted manufacturers and spent a lot of time ensuring every detail was spot on: from selecting the toughest 16 oz canvas to reinforcing every stitch with a folded cross-stitch for extra durability. We handpicked zippers and closures that wouldn’t break or tear after a few uses.

Bags Built to last

The Oversized Pocket

And we knew we had to get the pockets right. The pocket is oversized to fit a MacBook Pro—a small detail that makes a huge difference in your daily routine. 

When our first shipment arrived, we were proud of what we had built, and so were our customers. We stand behind the quality of every bag with a lifetime guarantee—if your bag tears, we’ll replace it, no questions asked.

Crafting with Purpose

Today, we’re collaborating with local artists to bring new designs to life, but we’ll always stick to what matters most: simple, durable, and functional bags that are built to last and offered at an affordable price

Honesty, Hardwork, and Community

As a dad, I believe in honesty, hard work, and community. We’re a small team with big dreams, and we’re incredibly grateful for your support. We love what we do, and we hope our bags bring as much joy to your everyday life as they bring to ours.
