Product Insights
The Mads Norgaard Athene tote combines a structured twill weave that stands upright or folds flat, with an open top for one-motion laptop access and a zippered pouch for valuables. Its 10 cm width and ~31 cm strap drop reduce swing and keep loads stable, while the 4-inch depth allows a sleeved 15-inch laptop but can feel snug with additional items. Priced at $95 CAD between designer and mass-market alternatives, it offers durability with proper care and is exclusive to Simons in Canada.
Verified claims
- Twill weave
- Diagonal twill weave packs more yarn per inch, making bag stand upright yet fold flat for storage.
- Care
- Cold wash and air dry prevent 3-5% shrinkage; pre-treat stains and proper care extend life to several years.
- Security
- A separate zippered pouch or organizer can be placed inside the open main compartment to secure valuables.
- Carry comfort
- Strap drops ~31 cm and 10 cm depth keep load stable and close to body.
- Capacity
- The 4-inch depth fits a 15-inch laptop but can feel snug when other items are added.
- Access
- Slide a sleeved 15-inch laptop in or out in one motion without unzipping.
- Carrying experience
- The 10 cm depth keeps the load close to the body and reduces pendulum swing.
- Competitive pricing
- At $95 CAD, the Athene tote is priced between designer and mass-market totes and matches European pricing.
- Durability
- The twill weave tote enhances durability and lasts several years with proper care.
- Exclusivity
- This tote is exclusively distributed through Simons in Canada.
- Design
- Open-top design inspired by early grocery carriers for a minimalist, zipper-free look.
- Fabric quality
- Twill-weave cotton gives structure, durability, and long life with proper care.
- Practicality
- Open top enables quick access, laptop storage, and optional organizer for security.
- Interior organization
- The Athene Tote has no interior pockets and no zipper closure; the main compartment is open-top.

- Load flexibility
- Without a zipper track, the tote can handle bulky, irregular loads such as a rolled jacket or large water bottle without stressing hardware.

Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Athene Black And White Twill Fabric Tote: Choose this if you want a sturdy everyday carryall: it is made of rugged 100% cotton twill with a black and off-white striped design, two long matching shoulder straps with reinforced box-stitch attachment, and a roomy rectangular shape measuring 14.5 inches tall and long by 4 inches wide in one size. Note that the top is open, with no closure visible in the product images, so it suits shoppers comfortable with a zip-free tote.[2,3] | Athene Polka Dot Tote: Choose this if you want a canvas-style cotton tote with a playful look: this one-size bag is made of 100% cotton described as rugged (with one source calling it strong organic cotton), in black with an all-over white polka dot print that continues onto its two narrow flat handles, which work for grabbing or carrying on the shoulder. Its rectangular, slightly gusseted body measures 15 inches (38 cm) long by 14 inches (36 cm) high by 4.25 inches (11 cm) wide, with a flat bottom that appears slightly structured rather than slouchy. Note that photos show slight creasing at the lower corners of the flat bottom seam.[4,5,6,7] | Athene Twill Fabric Tote: Choose this if you want a roomy everyday shopping tote in a natural fabric: it is made from strong 100% recycled cotton twill, described as rugged and long-lasting, with a rectangular upright shape and flat base that stands on its own. It measures about 14.5 inches tall and 14.5 inches long with a 4 inch depth, so it holds daily essentials, and its two flat fabric handles work for grabbing or carrying over the shoulder, with reinforced stitching at the strap attachments. It comes in one size in an Ecru/Linen color with a large printed Mads Nørgaard Copenhagen logo on the front, a look worth considering only if you like visible branding.[1,8,9,10,11,12,13] |
