Woven Barrel Bags
Cylindrical woven barrel and Boston bags with zip tops.
A barrel bag is cylindrical and zips along the top, which makes it one of the few soft shapes that stays closed and keeps its outline. The woven versions here carry by a top handle, a short shoulder strap or a detachable crossbody strap depending on the style.

Choosing by shape
- Tote — structured and open at the top, the one to pick if you carry a laptop or a change of shoes
- Shoulder bag — a single strap that sits on the shoulder or under the arm
- Crossbody — a long adjustable strap, hands free all day
- Hobo — soft and slouchy, settles under the arm instead of holding a shape
- Bucket — deep and round, opens wide and cinches shut
- Clutch and pouch — essentials only, for evenings or as an organiser inside a bigger bag
Looking after a woven bag
- Wipe the weave with a barely damp cloth and let it dry away from direct heat
- Stuff the bag when you store it so the weave keeps its shape
- Keep it out of long spells of direct sun — coated finishes fade before they crack
- Do not machine wash or dry clean any of these styles
Materials
Everything here is made from vegan leather (PU) or a textile such as polyester, canvas or nylon — no animal leather is used anywhere in the range. The exact material is printed on each product page under Material, next to the measurements for every size that style comes in.
Frequently asked questions
What is a Boston bag?
A barrel-shaped bag with twin top handles and a zip that runs the length of the top. It is a carry-by-hand shape first, with a strap added for convenience.
Do they stand up on their own?
Yes — the base is firm enough that they sit flat rather than tipping over.
Are these bags real leather?
No. Every bag on Xookool is made from vegan leather (PU) or a textile such as polyester, canvas or nylon. We list the material on each product page so you can check before you order.
How long does delivery take?
Orders ship worldwide with tracking. Current processing and transit times for your country are set out in full on the shipping policy page.
Can I return a bag if the size is wrong?
Yes, within the return window set out on the refund policy page. Every product page lists the exact dimensions for each size, so it is worth measuring against a bag you already own first.
