Description
The Cayor, Espresso Full-Grain Leather Tote
A study in form, function and quiet confidence.
The Cayor is MAISON MOTEMA’s take on the everyday leather tote — generous in proportion, sculptural in silhouette, and designed to move effortlessly from work to everywhere after.
Cut from full-grain leather, its softly structured body is defined by a distinctive folded neckline and elongated handle. At the center, MAISON MOTEMA’s sculptural face hardware brings an unmistakable signature to an otherwise beautifully restrained silhouette.
Designed in NYC. Handmade in Dakar by our artisans in limited quantities.
Made to be carried. Made to age beautifully. Made to become yours.

Care
Your Maison Motema bag is crafted in pure leather, designed to travel with you and age with grace. To maintain the beauty and integrity of your purchase, we recommend treating it with care. Simple maintenance practices, such as gentle handling and proper storage, can effectively preserve the longevity of your bag.
To preserve its beauty:
- Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, heat, or humidity.
- Keep away from oils, perfumes, and liquids that may stain the leather.
- When not in use, store in its dust bag, in a cool and dry place, keeping its natural shape.
- Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh cleaners or solvents.
- With time, the leather will develop its own patina — a testament to journeys lived and stories carried.
- Bronze is a living metal: it may deepen with time. Simply polish with a specialist bronze product.
This is slow luxury. Handle with care, carry with freedom.
