Take this tote on your next visit with friends! Special features: two front pockets for things you need to keep close at hand back lapped zippered pocket optional recessed zipper (it’s optional, but I know you’ll love it!) makes a great work or student bag, padded interior pockets can accommodate most laptop sizes. Fika is a Swedish word, meaning ‘to have coffee’.
