The Martha Black Croc-Embossed Leather
The Martha is the bag you build your day around. Structured, spacious, and confident, it’s designed to make the outfit while carrying real life. This is your everyday work bag that doesn’t stop at the office — polished enough for meetings, effortless enough to follow you through the rest of the day. A true styling tool that brings intention to both tailoring and more relaxed looks.
The Martha is handcrafted in a small, family-run factory in Portugal using high-quality European leather. We work with responsibly sourced materials and small-scale production to ensure long-lasting quality and a lower environmental impact.
At Blankens, we are a small group of women designing bags for our own lives. We think through every detail — how the bag feels to carry, how it works during a long day, and how it fits into your wardrobe. We believe bags should be both practical and expressive. Tools for everyday life, and an essential part of the outfit.
The Martha is a women’s leather tote bag made in black croc-embossed leather. It features a structured rectangular shape and a spacious interior designed to fit everyday essentials such as a laptop, documents, and personal items. The bag has two sturdy leather handles for shoulder or hand carry and an open top for easy access. Inside, there is a zip pocket for smaller items and a discreet leather loop designed to keep your keys within reach. The structured construction allows the bag to stand upright, making it suitable for work, everyday use, and travel.
We want your bag to be your favorite companion for years to come! With just a little love and care, this beautiful exterior will only get more stunning over time. Here is how to keep it happy:
Time to rest: When your bag isn't out exploring with you, keep it cozy inside its dust bag. This protects the leather from dust and direct light, keeping the color vibrant.
Love the sun, but watch the heat: Natural leather develops a beautiful character over time, but it prefers to stay away from prolonged exposure to intense sunlight, heavy moisture, or direct heat.
If it rains: Got caught in a drizzle? No problem! Simply blot the bag gently with a soft cloth and let it air dry naturally. Never use a heater or hairdryer — patience is a virtue!
Keep it fresh: A light wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth keeps the leather looking its best. The soft micro suede lining can easily be dusted off or gently cleaned with a lint roller if needed. Avoid any harsh cleaners or solvents!
