STUDIO TOTE XL - BUDAPEST
“PALATINUS HOUSE”
Some pieces become part of everyday life almost without us noticing. They travel with us through long city days, spontaneous travel plans, and holiday beach days. Over the years, the STUDIO TOTE XL has quietly become exactly that for many of you - a reliable, oversized companion that carries everything and goes everywhere.
After years of requests, it’s finally back.
The new edition of the beloved STUDIO TOTE keeps everything people loved about the original: the generous proportions, the strong cotton canvas, and the effortless practicality. It’s the kind of bag that simply works - for city life, last-minute trips, or packing everything you need for a day by the water.
But this time, the bag tells a new story.
The illustration on the bag features the distinctive silhouette of the Palatinus-ház, standing proudly at the Pest side of the Margit híd. Built in the early 1910s, the Palatinus House is one of those buildings that quietly shape the visual identity of Budapest.
With its romantic corner towers and curved façade facing the Danube, it has long been part of the city’s riverside skyline. Originally designed as an elegant residential building overlooking the river, it reflected the optimism and architectural ambition of early 20th-century Budapest - a time when the city was rapidly growing and defining its modern identity.
Today, it remains one of the most recognizable buildings along the Újpesti rakpart. Locals pass it every day, often without realizing how iconic its silhouette has become.
At ANNA AMÉLIE, architecture has always been a source of inspiration. Cities carry stories in their buildings, and Budapest is full of them.
For this edition of the STUDIO TOTE, the Palatinus House was translated into a clean, minimal line drawing - highlighting its distinctive towers, elegant proportions, and riverside presence. The result is graphic and timeless: a small architectural tribute to the city.
It’s the kind of detail that people notice twice - first as a striking illustration, and then as a familiar piece of Budapest.
The STUDIO TOTE has always been about functionality. Its oversized format was designed for real life: laptops, groceries, sketchbooks, travel essentials - all at once if needed.
It’s big. It’s durable. And it somehow always ends up carrying more than expected.
Over time, it has become a recognizable
ANNA AMÉLIE piece around the city - seen on the streets, in studios, cafés, and airports. A practical object that slowly turned into an urban staple.
“For visitors, it’s a reminder of Budapest’s architecture and atmosphere. For locals, it’s a familiar view of the city, turned into weaable art piece.”
