Katie Loxton Chocolate Brown Large Braided Tote Bag - Nova Large

Katie Loxton Chocolate Brown Large Braided Tote Bag — Nova Large

The Nova Large is Katie Loxton's woven vegan leather tote, sized up and finished in deep chocolate brown. It's made for women who carry more through the day, with room for a working day's essentials, a scarf or a book and still space to spare. A long braided handle, a hidden gold-tone magnetic closure and organised internal pockets make it practical. The rich brown weave keeps it looking polished.

Key Features

• Size: Larger version of the Nova at 28cm x 40cm x 23cm, with a deep 23cm base for a lot more space than the standard tote
• Exterior: Hand-woven vegan leather in a tight basket-weave texture that gives the brown real depth
• Colour: Chocolate brown, a warm, rich neutral that's softer than black and works across autumn and winter
• Handle: Long braided handle in matching brown, designed to sit comfortably over the shoulder even when the bag is full
• Closure: Magnetic fastening hidden at the top for a clean outline and quick, easy opening
• Interior: Textile-lined, with internal pockets and compartments to keep smaller items separate
• Design detail: Katie Loxton's signature knotted charm with gold-tone beads at the top

Fit and Practicality

The Nova Large is a carry-all. The wide, deep body holds a purse, phone, keys, cosmetics bag, water bottle and a scarf or light layer without feeling crammed.

Internal pockets keep small items within easy reach, and the hidden magnetic closure keeps everything secure without a fiddly zip.

Styling Guidance

Chocolate brown is one of the key colours this season, and a large woven tote is an easy, practical way to wear it. Carry it with a camel or cream coat and a soft knit for a warm, tonal look, or let it add warmth against navy, grey or black. At the weekend, it sits naturally with straight-leg denim, a chunky knit and brown suede boots. For work, pair it with tailored trousers and loafers. The gold-tone details work best with gold jewellery.

• Works well with: camel and longline coats, chunky knitwear, tailored trousers, straight-leg denim
• Colour palette: cream, camel, navy, olive, denim blue
