A simple, roomy leather tote bag by Stella Soomlais, designed and handmade in Estonia. It’s made for everyday use, workdays, shopping, or weekend trips — basically for the days when a tiny bag is just decorative nonsense.
The bag is made from durable vegetable-tanned leather and has a clean, minimalist look with plenty of space inside. Each Stella Soomlais bag also has the name of the craftsperson who made it marked inside, so when you receive yours, you can see who made it.

Circular design and production
Stella Soomlais products are made under the brand’s Round 2 circular design system. The bags are designed so that parts can be repaired or replaced when needed, helping the product last longer.
The production process also follows a low-waste approach. Larger leather leftovers are turned into smaller accessories, and smaller pieces are reused in workshops.
Care
Vegetable-tanned leather is strong and long-lasting, but its look and lifespan depend on proper care.
Avoid overpacking the bag, as leather has memory and too much pressure can permanently affect its shape. Keep the bag away from strong direct sunlight for long periods, as the color may change over time. Avoid high heat and do not clean the bag with hot water. If the bag gets wet, let it dry naturally at room temperature, away from radiators or heaters. Be careful with hand sanitizer, as alcohol can damage leather and leave permanent marks.
With regular care, this bag will stay beautiful for years.

THE RATHER IMPORTANT BITS

SHIPPING DESTINATIONS
Now, here's the thing - our wonderful brand partners ship to lots of different places, but not all of them can ship worldwide.
Some are brilliant at international shipping, others prefer to keep things closer to home.
At checkout, you'll see exactly where this particular brand can send your goodies.
We're terribly sorry, but shipping costs do vary rather wildly depending on where you are in the world. The exact figures pop up at checkout - no nasty surprises!
RETURNS
You have 14 days to return items.
Now, we absolutely adore our brand partners - they work incredibly hard and we do try to support them as much as we possibly can. So I'm rather afraid we have to pass the return postage costs back to you. Frightfully sorry about that!
🌍 PLEASE CHOOSE THOUGHTFULLY:
Our wonderful partners put their hearts into everything they make.
Ordering multiple sizes to try at home is rather hard on our planet and makes things jolly difficult for these brilliant independent creators.
When in doubt, do ask us first!

We Have Lots More Like This.........
Hello, we are Sostter....
Sostter began, as all good ideas do, with a lively conversation and a shared sense of frustration. Why had the world of independent design become so serious, so samey, so… beige? Where was the spark, the imagination, the sheer joy of discovering something that made you stop and stare?
We dreamt of a marketplace that celebrated difference — where curious minds could explore a world of independent brands, design-led makers, and thoughtful artisans. A space that felt exciting, human, and beautifully imperfect. Today, Sostter brings together remarkable people and their creations — from London to Lausanne, Brooklyn to Berlin — uniting makers and discoverers through craftsmanship, creativity, and conscience.
Every object tells a story, and every purchase supports an independent brand doing things differently. Explore our British makers, discover sustainable brands, browse women-led businesses, find the perfect gift for her, or simply wander through our new arrivals and see what finds you.
This is just the beginning. But enough about us — read all about us, or step inside and see what catches your imagination.

Discover our world of independent brands, conscious design, and purposeful creativity — all in one place.

Every brand on Sostter has been individually vetted for its originality, quality, and values. From sustainable fashion and ethical homeware to handmade jewellery and design-led gifts — all brought together in one considered space. Browse by location, by purpose, or simply wander and see what finds you. Want to sell with us? We'd love to hear from you.
