Know before you buy
The bag is designed with a burst-proof bottom and heavy-duty construction, allowing it to support up to 75 pounds of gear.
While the main compartment is open for easy access, the bag includes an interior zipper pocket specifically for securing smaller essentials like your phone, wallet, or keys.
The Original Deano is made from durable canvas, which is generally easy to spot-clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Because it is a structured tote, we recommend air drying to maintain its shape.
Yes, the bag features reinforced handles with an 8.25-inch handle drop, which provides enough room to carry it comfortably over your shoulder even when wearing a jacket.
The bag is designed to fold completely flat. This makes it easy to slide into a suitcase, store in a car trunk, or tuck away in a closet when not in use.
