Handmade Waxed Canvas Tote Bag — Two Sizes

One bag, done properly, in exactly the right size for your life. Weather-resistant waxed canvas on the outside, one-of-a-kind reclaimed fabric on the inside, and enough clever pockets that you'll wonder how you managed before.

Why You'll Love It

  • Built for British weather and real life - weather-resistant waxed canvas stands up to daily wear, light showers, and the general chaos of a full life without losing its good looks

  • Two sizes, one decision - the Everyday Tote fits your laptop and commute kit; the Overnight Tote fits a weekend away; both have the same considered pocket layout and quality construction

  • Sits properly on the floor - a reinforced padded base with sturdy metal feet means your bag stands upright and stays clean, whether you're on a train, in a café, or at your desk

  • Everything has a place - lightly padded interior, handy slip pockets for phone and keys, a popper-secured front pocket for quick-grab items, and a wide zip opening that makes packing effortless

  • Carry it your way - removable adjustable crossbody strap for hands-free days, or carry by the handles when you want to keep it simple

  • Lined with reclaimed fabric - every lining is unique and one of a kind; no two bags are ever the same inside or out

Two Sizes to Suit Your Life

  • Everyday Tote - the canvas work bag Fits a laptop, notebook, charger, and daily essentials comfortably. Ideal for commuting, errands, or any day that needs a bag that keeps up. Measures: H 30.5 cm × W 38 cm × D 12.5 cm

  • Overnight Tote - the canvas weekend bag Cabin-friendly and spacious enough for a night or two away — clothes, toiletries, and the extras you always end up bringing. A stylish alternative to bulky luggage. Measures: H 35.5 cm × W 46 cm × D 18 cm

What's Included

  • One handmade waxed canvas tote bag in your chosen size

  • Removable and adjustable crossbody strap included

  • Only a limited number of each design made - when it's gone, it won't return

  • Care: spot-clean to preserve the waxed canvas finish

  • Dispatched the next working day if ordered before 5pm

  • Arrives via Royal Mail Tracked - you'll receive updates from postage to doorstep

🎁 Create a gift set - pair the Overnight Tote with a handmade toiletry bag for a travel gift that will be genuinely used and genuinely loved. Perfect for a significant birthday, a special trip, or someone who deserves something beautiful to travel with.

FAQs

  • Which size should I choose? If you need it for work, commuting, or daily errands - the Everyday Tote (H 30.5 cm × W 38 cm × D 12.5 cm) is your size. If you're after a weekend bag or overnight carry-on - the Overnight Tote (H 35.5 cm × W 46 cm × D 18 cm) is the one. Both have the same pocket layout and quality; it's purely about how much space you need.

  • Will the Overnight Tote fit in the cabin? At H 35.5 cm × W 46 cm × D 18 cm it falls within the cabin allowance for most airlines, though we'd always recommend checking your specific airline's restrictions before travel.

  • What are the metal feet for? The reinforced padded base with metal feet means the bag stands upright on its own and the base stays clean - no more bags slumping over or picking up grime from café floors and station platforms.

  • Is it waterproof? The waxed canvas outer is weather-resistant, handling light showers and everyday splashes well. Spot-cleaning is recommended to preserve the finish - machine washing will strip the wax.

  • Is this really one of a kind? Yes, genuinely. Each bag is made from a unique combination of waxed canvas and reclaimed lining fabric - no two are ever the same, and once that design is gone, it won't be remade.

  • Can I have one made in my own fabrics? Yes - use the design-your-own option here and Claire will create a tote in the colours and fabrics that feel most like you.

  • How long will delivery take? Orders placed before 5pm are dispatched the next working day via Royal Mail Tracked 48 (2–3 days) or Tracked 24 (next day). Free standard delivery on orders over £120; £4.95 otherwise.

  • Can I return it if it's not right? Yes - free UK returns, subject to our Returns Policy. To start a return, get in touch via the website.
