T1’s Totto keeps you stocked with bags and basics
Totto sits airside in Terminal T1 at José María Córdova International, handy if you realize at gate level that your backpack zipper just failed. It’s a Colombian brand, so prices run local rather than luxury-boutique crazy; think mid-range daypacks and carry-ons instead of designer labels. You’ll see it on the main departures concourse between mid-40s gates and the central food area.
Bag selection skews practical: laptop backpacks, soft carry-ons, duffels, and smaller crossbody bags you can actually slide under the seat in front of you. You’ll also find school-style packs with multiple compartments that work for a 15-inch laptop plus cables. Expect most work backpacks to sit below the price of a checked bag fee on a long-haul ticket, which makes a last-minute swap easier to justify.
Quality is solid for the price point, especially on straps, padding, and zippers, which matter on 10+ hour routings through MDE. Colors range from black and navy to brighter prints that are easier to spot on a bus or overhead bin. They also stock basic travel add-ons like small pouches and organizers, useful if your carry-on turns into a cable jungle by the second flight.
There’s no published opening time, but shops in T1 usually run from early-morning departures around 05:00 until the last wave of evening flights. If you’re tight on time, walk the main T1 corridor directly from security and look for the Totto signage on your right before you reach the larger duty-free zone. Tip: try on backpacks with your actual laptop and charger inside before paying, so strap length and weight feel right for the rest of the day.
