Merkato Signature Leather Tote – Handcrafted in Ethiopia
Some bags are trendy. The Merkato is timeless. Our all-time bestselling women's leather tote has been a daily staple for thousands of Parker Clay customers — and once you carry it, you'll understand why.
Handcrafted in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia from full-grain Ethiopian leather, the Merkato is finished with intricate hand stitching and brushed brass hardware that ages beautifully. Available in four signature natural leather colors: Rust Brown, Dark Brown, Black, and Sand — each one a little different, just like the hands that made it.
Inside, an interior key ring, zipped pocket, and open compartments keep you organized without the chaos. Roomy enough for your essentials, sleek enough for the boardroom.
