Winter 2025 collection
Our debut collection brings together four hand-drawn scenes of Oxford, each capturing a place where history and daily life meet.
From the staircase at Christ Church to the calm waters beneath Magdalen Bridge, from graduates passing under the Bridge of Sighs to the Radcliffe Camera glimpsed from Exeter’s gardens, these designs celebrate the city that inspired them all.
Featuring hand-drawn illustrations by
Meadow Totes
The Meadow Tote is our easy, everyday bag with a relaxed shape and generous space.
Its flared silhouette feels light and casual while still holding more than you’d expect, from groceries to market finds — even a tablet or 13" laptop when needed. With its single, sculpted handle and basket-like silhouette, the Meadow brings a touch of effortless grace to the everyday.
Scholar Totes
The Scholar Tote is our spacious, horizontal carry-all designed for busy days of work, study, and travel.
Made from heavy-duty cotton with extra-sturdy stitching, it fits laptops, books, and daily essentials with room to spare. Thoughtful pockets and versatile straps keep everything organised and close at hand — a dependable companion for those who carry a lot, and go far.
Classic Totes
The Classic Tote is our timeless, go-anywhere bag. It's simple, spacious, and designed for everyday ease.
Its tall silhouette fits laptops, notebooks, and daily essentials, while a soft, comfortable strap makes it effortless to carry from morning to evening. Lightweight yet strong, it’s the tote you reach for without thinking.

Our story
It all started in Oxford, with two friends chatting over coffee. Angel, an illustrator who loves capturing the city's spires and cobblestones, and Shuyu, an engineer who loves tote bags but constantly panics about losing keys in her cluttered bag.
Somewhere between laughter and coffee, Potatote was born — a tote with the heart of a potato: warm, full of character, and made with care. Each bag celebrates the city we love, blending thoughtful design, artwork and practical features for everyday adventures.
