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.
I purchased the Essential Tote for an international trip and it is as advertised as a great travel bag. I appreciated the interior water bottle holder, the extra pockets (inside and out) and the tab on the back to slide over my suitcase handle. Fully loaded it is a bit heavy to carry, but securing it to the suitcase makes it so easy, and the zippered top makes it secure. Everything I was looking for in a travel bag. It is a bit bulky for me for everyday use, so I'll continue to use my Market Totes as my everyday bags (I have a few patterns that I love), but this is a great addition to my Maika collection!
This is perfect to tuck away in my larger bag or to use if I just need to hit the post office quickly. Larger than I anticipated, but that's fine by me!!
Great bag for work, I can put it all in here, whatever I need, even my laptop or tablet. I discovered the amazing pocket for my water container!! It keeps it upright and I love it!! So many ways this bag is absolutely helping me in my day-to-day with all of my essentials and whenever I look at it, it makes me smile!!
Wanted a bag that was durable & enough room for what I carry daily. This filled the bill and at a reasonable price. Many selections. Very good quality material.
