Thoughtfully designed, sustainably made bags and accessories.
Welcome to MAIKA. Stylish, functional bags with perfect everyday details. Featuring original artwork hand-painted or illustrated in Oakland, California. From sketch to stitch, we create each piece with love and delight.
The quality and quantity (of space!) of this bag is phenomenal! I’m a substitute teacher and have to carry my own things from class to class, and this bag does the trick! And the great things is the handles are actually long enough to hold the bag easily when it is completely full! Great tote!
I bought a commuter tote last year and love it. When the new version came out with the trolley sleeve, I had to upgrade. I have also bought totes as gifts.
Purchased this for a gift & wish I would've gotten one for myself. Since it's a gift, I haven't used it but it looks like it will be a great tote to take to the grocery store, craft bazaars, etc.
LOOOVE my two Maika bags. I have the essential tote but also the commuter tote. These bags are fantastic. I can't say enough good things about the ton of compartments and storage. I love the water bottle holder and it's placement so I can grab my bottle even while the bag is zipped. Great laptop padded area. I love that it has short straps but also a longer one. The luggage strap is a must-have for me, so much appreciated. AND - I love that the bag comes in super fun prints! The material itself is high durability. Bag fits great under my airplane seat. I ditched two tote bags when I found this one. Thank you!!
BTW: I highly dislike it when one review based on a single customer service incident drags down the scores. That review (sadly due to an error on the consumer's part) doesn't speak at all to the quality of this product. I am sorry they had a bad experience but that doesn't mean this isn't a fantastic product worthy of high praise.
