The Martha Midi Black Leather with Contrast Stitching

Sale price5,500 SEK
Color: Black
Room for your laptop, pockets for the things you always reach for.

The Martha Midi is designed as the bag that carries a full day — and does it with ease. Made from smooth, structured leather with light contrast stitching, it balances a strong, architectural shape with a soft, lived-in feel. The size is carefully considered: roomy enough for a laptop, notebook, charger, and all daily essentials, yet refined enough to feel sleek rather than bulky. Two adjustable shoulder straps with press buttons allow you to wear it comfortably on the shoulder or carry it neatly by hand, adapting to how your day unfolds. Magnetic closure keeps everything secure while staying easy to open when you’re on the move.

DESCRIPTION

The Martha Midi is designed as the bag that carries a full day — and does it with ease. Made from smooth, structured leather with light contrast stitching, it balances a strong, architectural shape with a soft, lived-in feel. The size is carefully considered: roomy enough for a laptop, notebook, charger, and all daily essentials, yet refined enough to feel sleek rather than bulky.

Like all Blankens bags, The Martha Midi is handcrafted in a small, family-run factory in Portugal. The leather is responsibly sourced European leather, selected for its durability, softness, and ability to age beautifully over time. Thoughtful construction and strong stitching ensure the bag holds its shape while becoming more personal with use — designed to last, not to be replaced.

 

Team Blankens designed The Martha Midi from our own everyday needs. As women balancing work, life, and everything in between, we wanted a bag that truly functions — one that fits a laptop without feeling overly “worky,” keeps essentials organised, and still feels considered and stylish. This is the kind of bag you rely on daily: structured enough to elevate an outfit, practical enough to carry everything, and timeless enough to wear year after year.

 

The Martha Midi Black is a structured leather tote bag with a clean, rectangular silhouette and light contrast stitching that highlights its shape and craftsmanship. It features two outer pockets on the front — one perfectly sized for a phone, the other ideal for smaller essentials you want quick access to. Inside, the bag offers a spacious main compartment, an inner pocket, and an internal leather strap with clasp for securing keys. The adjustable leather straps allow for shoulder or hand carry, while a discreet magnetic button closes the bag neatly. A functional, elegant everyday bag designed for work, travel, and busy city life.

CARE

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:


Nourish the leather: Treat the exterior leather occasionally with our Delicate Leather cream. It keeps the leather wonderfully supple and ensures it ages beautifully, step after step, day after day.


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!
