Product Insights
The A.P.C. Ninon Supple Xl Tote Bag is a buttery-soft, lightweight vegan leather tote that fits a 15-inch laptop and collapses flat when empty, offering a comfortable, body-conforming carry. Its main tradeoff: the supple finish scratches easily and requires conditioning every 3-6 months, with an open-top design lacking closure.

User review of A.P.C. Ninon in tan
I got my Ninon in tan over a couple of months ago from Ssense. It’s so much cheaper there. I can’t speak much on its durability since mine is fairly new but the faux leather feels buttery soft and the bag itself is lightweight. It’s also ridiculously spacious for its size. It’s the perfect everyday bag. I don’t baby it but I make sure to store it in an area safe from claws and sharp tiny teeth fiends.

Size comparison and daily use of A.P.C. Ninon tote
here’s the small and big size next to each other! i generally find myself reaching out to the small one a lot more and use it on a daily as the PU leather is really easy to maintain. the bag is really light too :-) it fits a 13” macbook and the straps are thick enough to not feel like they’re cutting into ur shoulders. hope this helps!!
