Medium Leather Transport Tote

Perfect bag, leather comes stiffer than other Madewell bags if you have others from the transport line. However it'll soften and get shine with use, otherwise I am a fan of the shape it gives the tote. It is more structured than the large transport. Fantastic shape and size, good for everyday casual use. I use it as my bag for class, fits a 13 inch Macbook, several notebooks, and a waterbottle. Small inside pocket that is the same size as the large transport.

I've had this bag for a while now, it has held up well with reasonable wear. Unfortunately, the black leather dye of the bag rubs off on my clothes when it makes contact with my hip, regardless of the material clothing that I wear. The black color stays on clothing and has ruined many pieces of mine. This is so disappointing to me because I really like the function of the bag but cannot use it without the implication of ruining other items of mine! Looking for a solution for this and am honestly really surprised with this quality concern!
