"Well designed and constructed. I chose this bag over so many due to the built in pockets. SO many other bags require you to purchase pocket compartment systems making the bag even heavier. This bag is perfection. I can’t wait to purchase more products from this brand."

The name Freja (frei-ya) is of Scandinavian origin and means "love". I thought it fit beautifully with our mission.

Our Story

It all started with a journey to engineer the perfect, everyday, work tote - handcrafted using exceptional vegan materials and made with love at a family owned factory. Each Freja piece is made in small batches in timeless silhouettes and seasonless colours.

Our designs

From the first sketch to the final stitch, our handbags and accessories are designed from the inside-out, made to support your 24/7 lifestyle. Freja is not about having the largest selection of styles, but instead focuses on curating a collection of well edited, multipurpose pieces that are tried, tested and perfected over batches in tandem with customer feedback.

Absolutely gorgeous, especially the interior color !

Linnea Tote Latte

Omg! I love love love this bag! I’m fighting the temptation to get it in another color—don’t really have the space to have multiple bags lying around.

Linnea Tote Taupe

2nd time ive bougth this, and the person i gave it as a gift is in love!

Linnea Tote Espresso

Just received my bag and it is stunning. Very high quality and I love the gold finishes. So many vegan bags aren’t high quality, but this looks fantastic. The interior pockets on each side are very useful. Highly recommend!!

Linnea Tote Black

Beautiful and functional!

Linnea Tote Black

I have had my Linnea tote for almost 3 years now, and it has been the best work tote! It fits my 14 inch laptop and everything else I need to haul to work. This bag will last you; I use it everyday for work, and it has held up so well. When I part with my Linnea, I will definitely get another Freja.

Customer photo review of Linnea Tote Black

Love the bag! Also Freja has fantastic customer service because I originally had the Paloma bag, but the zipper broke and it was too bulky. I got the Linnea instead from the customer service team no charge and it’s wonderful.

Linnea Tote Black

Incredible bag! Beautiful structure and quality. I bought it in the latte color because it’s unique and is perfect for spring and summer. I would recommend this bag and brand to everyone!

Linnea Tote Latte

Well designed and construced. I chose this bag over so many due to the built in pockets. SO many other bags require you to purchase pocket compartment systems making the bag even heavier. This bag is perfection. I can’t wait to purchase more products from this brand.

Linnea Tote Espresso

My everyday work bag. It fits everything I need, including my 13in iPad. I love all of the compartments and it feels so sturdy. I’ve had this for almost a year now and still looks and feels brand new. Very well made !

Linnea Tote Espresso

Seriously the best tote ever!! I use it for work everyday. It’s sleek, has lots of pockets, fits my laptop + everyday items, and best of all, the shoulder strap stays on my puffer jacket without slipping. Also had an issue with shipping and customer service was great. Will definitely buy more bags from Freya.

Linnea Tote Black

Beautiful bag in a classic color that only gets better with wear. The bag arrived a bit stiff out of the box but it softens up over time while still holding its structure. The compartments work well for every day organization. Holds my keys, laptop, chargers, business cards, notebook, and other essentials without being too heavy or bulky.

Linnea Tote Pecan

It exists - the perfect bag! This is the first bag I’ve found that fits all of my work necessities (laptop + accessories) & personal essentials all in the same tote. It’s well crafted, sturdy, and simply gorgeous. I ordered the black, and my only complaint is that the interior material of the bag is a dark eggplant purple, instead of 100% black throughout. This isn’t noted anywhere in the description (maybe I missed it in the photos?) but all black exterior + interior would’ve been better. Again, that’s my only complaint. But only because my wardrobe is 90% black and I like to keep it that way. Thank you for crafting such a beautiful bag. xx

This purse screams luxury. I’m not a tote girl but this tote is different in the best ways. My favorite things about this purse include the length of the straps and the feel of the inside of the purse. Get it!!

Linnea Tote Taupe

LOVE IT so fancy and beautiful

Linnea Tote Taupe

Amazing! I can’t wait to take her out for a spin. I work from home but she’s going to a conference with me in a couple weeks.

Linnea Tote Pecan

Very good ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Linnea Tote Black

Gorgeous bag and size!! Perfect for work and traveling. It fits so much but I don’t feel like a crazy bag lady when I wear it

Linnea Tote Cappuccino

I carry my Linnea Tote EVERYWHERE and EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. It’s high quality, classy, and roomy. It goes with every outfit. It’s giving quiet luxury. It’s perfection as a bag. I get compliments on it all the time!

Linnea Tote Black

Seriously in love with this tote. Precisely what I needed, what I was looking for and exceeded my expectations. Very high quality, thoughtful design, and SPACE for everything to sit perfectly balanced. Love love love!

Linnea Tote Black

This is such a beautiful bag that holds all of my personal items and laptop. The leather seems like a very good quality too. The bag is well constructed.

Linnea Tote Pecan

Love my bag! It’s perfect in every way. Will def buy another

Linnea Tote Cappuccino

Absolutely love it !! I feel so elegant with this bag , super stern as well and minimal , many places to put my bits and bobs in and even smaller pockets for my AirPods and lipsticks ! The biggest reason I got this bag was it fits precisely my MacBook Air 😭 and that’s all I need

Linnea Tote Black

You need this bag! It’s absolutely perfect. I love how when I pack my laptop the bag doesn’t sag or get a crease. The little footies at the bottom make it easy for the bag to stand on its own. The straps are long enough for me to fit my larger arms. Also problem was that I spent $40 for express shipping and didn’t get it super fast.

Linnea Tote Black

Love these bags so much! In fact, this is my third one and the second in this style. It’s classic, elegant and a gorgeous work tote.

Linnea Tote Latte

Beautiful bag and great quality

Linnea Tote Black

Love love LOVE! Perfect size and fits all my work such a my laptop and planner along with personal needs such as chapstick, wallet, AirPods and car keys all in one.

Linnea Tote Taupe

My absolute favorite bag - which is saying a lot because I am not a huge purse girl. I use this as my corporate work purse and it fits the perfect amount (laptop + notebooks, etc). I love the keychain attachment because it helps me to not lose my keys at the bottom of my bag!! The cappuccino color is perfection and I get sooooo many compliments on this bag! Great material and I love the maroon interior lining.

Linnea Tote Cappuccino

I was hesitant to try because I’ve been doing so much research but this bag knocks ut out of the market. The designer clearly thought through everything, the dark burgundy inside doesn’t show dirt, the key strap allows me to not dig for my office keys, the pen pockets (ample room) the inside zipper, the size (fits my apple MacBook) the structure, stands upright and looks classy, the strap width makes so comfortable on shoulder even with weight in the bag, the length of the straps. Literally everything is perfect. Couldn’t recommend more.

Linnea Tote Oat

My search for a quality bag is now complete! I have been looking for something sturdy enough to carry with me to law school everyday as well as something to use moving forward in my career that is sleek and professional. This bag is large enough to carry all my essentials for the day, which in the life of a law student is many things. The black design is so elegant and I get compliments on it all the time. From the update in the straps, the feet on the bottom to the pockets not being attached to the inside of the bag so it does not weigh it down when putting heavier items in the bag, this is the definition of quality. The structure of the bag also keeps very well and the vegan leather is a plus! It is very difficult these days to find a quality piece that is ethically made and has so much heart and soul poured into it. I found Freja on Instagram and even spoke to the owner, asking her all kinds of questions about the brand and how the bag is constructed before and after purchasing. She is such an amazing woman and responded to all inquiries quickly. The backstory also convinced me without a doubt to purchase. 10/10 would recommend. Do not skip out on this one!

Linnea Tote Black

I took a risk with this bag because I don't know anyone who owns one, and I wasn't able to physically examine it prior to buying. It ended up being exactly what I was hoping for. I use this bag for work and grad school. This bag is high quality-- it feels designer and the material is soft. It's the perfect size to fit my laptop, water bottle, phone, etc. I love the key holder. I also love the little pockets on the inside, and the middle zipper pocket is great for holding airpods & my wallet. I am SO glad I decided on this bag. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a professional looking, practical, quality purse/tote.

My boyfriend got me this bag as an anniversary present after I had been eyeing it for months. I was a bit hesitant because the bag is pricey, however I was looking around for similar alternatives and could not find one with a similar shape and structure anywhere. I am pleased to say it is worth the investment! The bag is spacious enough to fit everything you need on a night out or a workday but not too big to be too cumbersome. I love the sleek black design and minimalist branding. The bag itself is beautiful and the burgundy interior is lovely and elegant. The bag is just structured enough with enough compartments to be organized but not too many for your belongings to get lost in infinite compartments. If I wouldn't have known that the bag is made from vegan leather I really would not have been able to tell by smelling or touching the bag, the quality is superb and in line with other higher end leather bags I own. If you are on the fence, I recommend trying this brand out if it is within your budget. I might even order another bag from them in a few months time depending on how this one holds up! Very impressed so far.

Linnea Tote Black

I'm not a bag person but when I saw this, I knew I wanted to have it. This is my first tote bag and I love it! The color is perfect for me, and the size is just right - it fits all my necessities and even my laptop, which makes it a great bag for work as well. I can tell so much care was put into making this bag and I can't wait to buy more Freja items! Sending love to Jenny and the entire Freja team :)

Linnea Tote Black

This is my second bag from Freja. I was looking for a vegan tote that had organization without the use of inserts. This is perfect and functional. It’s also great for those on the shorter side(I’m 5’1) because it isn’t too large. I also love the material because it feels durable and long lasting. I will definitely be buying more bags in the future!

Linnea Tote Black

This bag is simply the best. From the design to the color, the sizing, the optimizing of storage, the sleek luxurious vegan leather, and the way she makes you feel when you’re walking around town with her - nothing better! Such a big thanks to Freja NYC for creating such a dreamy bag. It’s perfect for me running around the city going from work to the dog park to dinner to my boyfriend’s show, you get the picture. It’s great for everything and if not this one you need one of the other Freja bags in your life. I can’t wait to purchase one for my hardworking mama and best friend who just had a baby. This bag feels like it’ll last a lifetime and I feel so lucky that Freja exists. Run, don’t walk!
