Twist Tote - Edition of 4

$950.00
sold out

The JBY twist tote is a lyrical and functional large volume tote for everyday use.

Twist tote is upstanding, self supporting on a structural wet-formed base. Twist braids ingeniously anchor the bag handles and are fastened by a wrap around belt motif.

The bag has been entirely hand-stitched using a rustic saddlers hand-rolled and waxed linen thread. Elsewhere solid brass saddlers rivets and hobble buckle are a nod to the stockyard leatherwork from which this bag draws inspiration.

The natural finish full-grain bridle shoulder from the UK’s last traditional Oak bark tannery makes this an heirloom piece that will become more beautiful with age.

34 cm tall x 38 cm wide x 16cm deep

Please allow 4 weeks delivery from time of ordering as each bag is handmade to order in the James B. Young workshop

Thank you!

Shoemaker and Outfitter Alice Springs - bespoke shoes and boots - handcrafted luxury leather goods - made to order kangaroo leather bags and wallets - made to measure belts - handmade in outback Australia.

James B. Young lives and works on the unceded lands of the Arrernte nation in Mparntwe Alice Springs, and pays respects to elders, past, present and future.


He acknowledges the generations of First Nations people who worked without pay as stockmen and women in the Northern Territory, often on their own lands. He celebrates their craftsmanship, ingenuity and resilience: a heritage that continues to define and inspire Australian leatherwork.

James. B. Young is a shoemaker and outfitter crafting bespoke shoes and made to order handbags and fine leather goods. Based in Mparntwe Alice Springs, James pairs his uniquely Australian sensibility with a european tradition of bespoke shoemaking and fine leatherwork, employing the finest materials to produce limited numbers of pieces that will last you a lifetime.

Descended from a long line of shoemakers, he employs the methodical processes and hand skills traditionally associated with cordwainers and saddlemakers to a suite of contemporary products and services. His work responds to the landscape of his desert home and is given form by the materials and traditions of the central desert in outback Australia.

His bespoke and made-to-order services are a personal exchange lasting well beyond the point of sale. All work is guaranteed and welcomed back when the time for repair and refurbishment presents.

The current list for shoes is closed. Please contact James if you wish to be notified of the next opening. Limited edition handbags, briefcases, wallets and belts are offered on a made to order basis.
