The North Face Borealis Tote grey bag in Stone Slab and Dark Chestnut

The Borealis Tote by The North Face in Stone Slab and Dark Chestnut is a tote bag inspired by the Borealis backpack, from the autumn-winter 2026 collection. It brings together the details that have made that backpack a benchmark, such as the external bungee cord, adds a padded laptop sleeve and is designed for people who do not usually carry a backpack.
