Custom tote bags, shaped around how they are carried
A tote looks simple, which is why the details decide whether it sells. Handle drop, gusset depth, base shape, lining and closure all change how the bag sits on the shoulder and how it holds up when full. Send us a sketch, a tech pack or a tote you like, and our pattern makers turn it into a prototype you can load, carry and test.
We adjust from your feedback until the sample is right. The approved sample then becomes the reference for production, and the same artisans who built it cut and stitch your order.
Leather, canvas and jute tote bags
Full-grain leather makes a soft, premium shopper that gains a patina with use. Vegetable-tanned leather holds a more structured shape and burnishes to a clean edge. Smooth leather keeps colour even from piece to piece, which matters for larger colourway runs.
For lighter, lower-priced totes we work in heavy cotton canvas and natural jute, a fibre long grown and woven in Bengal, finished with leather handles, trims or base panels.

Why brands choose MKS as their leather tote bag manufacturer
SERRV International has sourced bags and totes from MKS since 1998. That kind of partnership rests on consistency: handles are the point where totes fail, so we agree the reinforcement at each attachment during sampling, and every edge is burnished by hand, up to five passes. Each bag passes three-station quality control before it is packed.
Your logo, labels, dust bags and packaging are produced to your spec, and we ship FOB Kolkata.
Frequently asked questions.
What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
Our MOQ starts at 50 pieces per style, which makes MKS a practical partner for startups and small brands testing a first collection as well as established labels running repeat orders of several thousand units.
Can you make canvas or jute totes with leather handles?
Yes. Canvas and jute totes trimmed with leather handles, corners or base panels are a regular part of our bag work. They cost less than all-leather totes and suit grocery, beach and everyday carry ranges. We sample the fabric and leather combination with you before production.
How much does it cost to make a leather tote bag?
It depends on the leather grade, the size of the bag, lining, hardware and quantity per style. Send us your design or a reference tote and the quantity you have in mind, and we will reply within 24 hours with material options and a clear per-piece quote.
Can you put our brand name and packaging on the products?
Yes. Everything we make for partners is private label — debossed or embossed logos, custom hardware, woven or printed labels, hangtags, dust bags and branded packaging are all produced to your spec.
Are you a certified ethical manufacturer?
Yes. MKS has practised Fair Trade since 1994, and our workshop is Sedex audited. Artisans are paid above market rate, everyone employed is over 18, and leather comes from OEKO-TEX, LWG and GRS certified suppliers.
