The Tibetan Tiger Tote — The Original Tiger Tote Bag at CYC
The Tibetan Tiger is the print that started it all at CYC — the original tiger tote bag we ever made, and still our most-loved. Inspired by traditional Tibetan iconography and reimagined in vibrant Indian print, The Tibetan Tiger Tote is a quilted cotton tiger bag handmade in small-batch Rajasthan workshops. Available in 12 colour combinations — from bold Pink-and-Blue to subtle Black-and-Grey, with new colourways added each season. Each tiger tote measures 18 × 18 inches with a 25-inch strap drop, fitting a yoga mat, 17" laptop, and your daily essentials with room to spare. Slight pattern variation between bags is the signature of real handcraft, not a flaw.
