Fox And Leo | Get Up and Go Bag - Foldaway Leather & Mesh Tote

Every foldaway bag has the same problem. You unfold it, you fill it, and it collapses into a sad heap the moment you put it down.

This one doesn't, and the reason is the leather. Folded up, the leather is the outside of a neat little pouch about the size of a sunglasses case. Unzip it and that same leather unfolds to become the base of the bag, so it sits upright on a bench, in a car boot or on the sand instead of toppling sideways and spilling your shopping everywhere.

Above the base it's a light breathable mesh, which is what lets it pack down so small and dry out so quickly. It opens to 30cm wide by 35cm high, which is a genuine tote rather than a token one. There's an internal pocket for your keys and phone, so you're not digging through wet swimmers at the beach to find them.

We saw these at Gift Fair and the quality is genuinely amazing. That's the thing with Fox and Leo, they don't make anything that only looks good in a photo. The leather is the same as their wallets and glasses cases, so if you've already got one of those, this will match.

Folded, it's 15cm by 12cm. Small enough to live permanently in your handbag, the glovebox or a caravan drawer and forget about until the moment you need it.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How does it actually work?
Unzip the pouch and the mesh tote unfolds out of it. The leather that was the outside of the pouch becomes the base of the bag. To pack it away, fold the mesh neatly back into the centre, fold the leather base over the top, and zip it closed into a pouch again.

How much does it hold?
Open, it's 30cm wide by 35cm high, so it takes a decent shop, a beach day's worth of towels and sunscreen, or whatever you've accumulated at a market. It's a real tote, not a token one.

Does it really stand up on its own?
It does, and that's the whole point of the leather base. Most foldaway bags collapse the second you put them down, which means loading them is a two-handed job. This one stays upright.

How small is it folded?
15cm by 12cm, so about the size of a sunglasses case. It disappears into a handbag, a glovebox or a caravan drawer and you stop noticing it's there, which is exactly what you want from a just-in-case bag.

Is the mesh strong enough?
It's a durable polyester mesh rather than a flimsy net, and the leather base takes the weight at the bottom where it matters. Treat it as a shopping and beach tote rather than a gym bag for weights and it'll see you through years.

Can it go in the washing machine?
No, because of the leather. Give the mesh a rinse if it's been in saltwater or sand, wipe the leather with a damp cloth, and let it air dry fully before you fold it away.

Tan or black?
Tan warms up over time and develops character the way good leather should. Black is the one that goes with everything and hides a beach day better. Both use the same leather as the Fox and Leo wallets, so pick whichever matches what you already own.

🌟 Adventure Awaits Tip

Put it in the car, not the cupboard. The whole value of this bag is being the one you already have with you when you need an extra pair of hands at the market or the beach, and that only works if it lives in the glovebox.
