Description

Fika is a Swedish word, meaning ‘to have coffee’. The classic clean lines of this mid-sized tote give a nod to my Scandinavian heritage. The Fika Tote has plenty of features you’ll love, like front pockets, a back lapped zipper pocket, recessed zipper closure and padded pockets. Take this tote on your next visit with friends! Special features: two front pockets for things you need to keep close at hand back lapped zippered pocket optional recessed zipper (it’s optional, but I know you’ll love it!) makes a great work or student bag, padded interior pockets can accommodate most laptop sizes
