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.
It’s a great size and it is beautifully made. It hold my computer, charger, work folders, zipper wallet pocket, 2 inside pockets for keys, phone, and an inside commuter cup sleeve!
I bought the essential tote to use for work. It’s honestly perfect for me. You can tell a lot of thought went into the design. Pockets are the right size and in the right places. I love the water bottle holder more than I even thought I would. The placement is great and doesn’t impede the use of the bag. And I love the look. I have been complimented multiple time because it’s just a good looking bag. For me it’s the form and function - it’s a great looking bag but it’s also super useful and makes my life easier. I enjoy using it and carrying it.
This backpack is the right shape, strong without weighing too much, in fact it’s light! The outside back pocket is perfect for cell phone and keys. Love it!
Love the design, well made, the size is perfect to use as my everyday handbag!!! I would prefer a matching canvas solid gray strap but that would be my only suggestion.
I love every single thing about this crossbody bag. The wonderfully unique design, the subtle colors that make me smile, the fabric and how it feels, the pretty hardware (I’m into that, lol!), the soft yet clearly strong leather, the three pockets inside (one with a zipper that can easily fit my phone, passport, lipstick and still have room for more!), and it’s even roomy enough for my MacBook Air, my iPad and my spiral notebook and pens. And I could still add a lot more to it.
I’m seriously impressed by the craftsmanship skills on both the fabric and the leather. I have a friend who makes and sells bags and I know that is not something you can learn quickly. That is a true talent and it’s reflected everywhere on this crossbody.
Thank you for a providing a beautiful bag, I will absolutely cherish it!!

I waffled about getting this for months then finally did it and I’m so glad. It was the perfect bag to take as my personal item on a recent flight — just the right size, easy to carry, and I just love the prints.
