Singaporean design studio Beyond The Vines spent the last decade building a name on utilitarian style in vivid colour palettes. Striking the perfect balance between playfulness, form and function, it birthed cult-favourite accessories like the Dumpling and Poofy bags. Now, the local label introduces the Studio Tote, its most refined everyday bag yet.
Born to cater to the team’s own needs, this bag is designed to carry the weight of a day, from sketches and tools to laptops and small essentials. In typical design-forward style, it reimagines the traditional tote with a streamlined silhouette, curved panelling and embossed logo. And in a signature BTV twist, the bag is fully reversible, thus offering two distinct looks in one.
The Studio Tote combines recycled nylon for structure and resilience, while recycled suede adds softness and texture. Besides offering a durable yet tactile finish, it marks a clear step towards sustainability. Thoughtful construction details, such as a concealed magnetic closure and an inner zip pocket, enhance practicality.

The new style comes in two sizes, both with a 24 cm handle drop for comfortable shoulder carry. The small measures 37 cm by 23.5 cm, while the large comes in at 52 cm by 35 cm. Contrasting reversible colourways contribute even more versatility. Both sizes come in Navy/Black and Olive/Teal options, while the small also offers a Terracotta/Plum combination.
Priced at SGD109 for the small and SGD159 for the large, the reversible Studio Tote will be available from 26 September at all Beyond The Vines stores islandwide and online.
