The Sturdy Tote is beautifully hand crafted of high end materials that we have passionately sourced ourselves. The double fill fabric is woven with a piled yarn construction. This weave creates a tighter, smoother texture than a single fill cotton duck. Sourced from a US family run wholesale business. We do have a fascination with the history of sailors and sewing and selecting this cotton duck canvas was the perfect match for us. Perfectly imperfect creations.
