The Essential Tote is exactly what I’ve needed for my frequent travels! Excellent construction and the waxed canvas will hold up for years.

I love the Tansy fabric it is what makes this bag so unique and beautiful. The simplicity of the backpack makes a perfect bag to commute back and forth to work.

Please make the project bag in Tansy fabric. My mother in law crochets and she has childhood memories of tansy growing where she lived.

I’ve been looking for work tote that allows me to carry my computer and water bottle. I wanted a bag that is fun (not serious) and cleans up well. Wow! I hit the jackpot! It holds everything I need for work, and I spill my water bottle way less than I use to. It’s easy to find items in the pockets. I love it!

I love this bag

I love my tote bag. I spilled coffee all over it but luckily it washed out. I’ll be ready for another one soon!

All of my Maika bags are durable and high quality. The essential tote is of the same quality and I will use it for a variety of reasons. I highly recommend this bag especially if you need a tote for your computer.

Its really nice and true to color. Size is what inexpected, but now that i have it it would have been nice to have a zippered pocket in the front. It fits all my supplies for painting and it is comfortable on my back. The straps are cushioned nicely and the handles appear to be well made. Very nice product!

Darling book. Great for many ages

I finally got to use this bag this past week
I really like it, it holds alot, is easy to access and is nice looking. It matches my suitcase pretty well. The only issue is the water pocket is too small for most insulated bottles. Great bag!!

Love the size, storage features and great color! Perfect for travel.

Love it!

I am a teacher, and the bigger the bag, the more I fill it! So I wanted a new cheerful, smaller bag for going to and from school. It is perfect! The fabric is happy and fun. It is durable with a sturdy zip and plenty of room but not enough to end up with giant piles of papers to grade, spare pencils and pens!
Love it!

I have three commuter bags now, and I love each one. Now that I am retired and not prone to order more new designer bags, I decided to purchase these bags. I am so happy with these and use them every week.

This cardholder is well made and complements every outfit.

This bag is beautiful, practical, well made and exactly what I needed. I had been searching for a work bag. My co-worker had a similar, smaller bag. She told me it was a Maika and I decided to order the everyday essential. It is perfect. Will likely buy more from this company in the future.
