Is the Cotswolds tote big enough for a laptop?

No. At about 12 inches wide it is a small tote meant for a phone, wallet, keys and a small pouch. A 13-inch laptop will not fit comfortably.

Does it close securely?

Yes. A twist-lock flap sits over a zip top, so the main compartment is closed twice. The lock itself can take two hands to fasten.

It is genuine leather with a check-pattern panel on the front. The check is a design element, not the whole body material.

Yes. The top handles are long enough to slip over the shoulder, though it is primarily a hand-carry tote.

It is the compact, structured option. Larger totes carry more and often have open tops; the Cotswolds trades capacity for a secured, dressier shape.

Black, natural, mushroom, chocolate brown, hazel, soap and vineyard red, all with the check panel.
