A Tote That Speaks Volumes

Nothing quite matches the allure of a sophisticated, beautifully crafted tote. A timeless staple, the tote is a style that never goes out of season—and at Kempton & Co., we take ours seriously.

Meet the Bantam Tote—our reimagined, roomy silhouette that’s full of unexpected charm. Cloaked in a rich black leather weave, its playful intrecciato design—shifting from smaller to larger diamonds—adds a touch of quiet opulence and intricate texture. Whether you're carrying it to the office, packing it for a weekend getaway, or switching from crossbody to handheld, this tote easily becomes the elegant custodian of your daily essentials.

Want to turn heads? Simply unzip the sides to reveal bold, tiger lily–orange leather flaps that are impossible to miss. Add in the striking black-and-white Polo-inspired crossbody strap and our signature hand-carved toggle, and you have a tote that doesn’t just carry—it captivates.

Crafted with Purpose
At Kempton & Co., we’re proud to collaborate with skilled Kenyan artisans who create our signature toggles. Using locally sourced, reclaimed bone and horn, each piece is carved entirely by hand with simple tools and machinery. This meaningful partnership supports small artisan groups—mainly in Kibera, Kenya—helping generate income and preserve traditional craftsmanship.

With your purchase, you support them—and us. For that, we thank you.
