Know before you buy
Yes, the bag is specifically designed to accommodate standard field guides. The unique scoop-shaped interior allows you to slide your guide in and out quickly while you are out in the field.
The bag features a 1.5-inch wide nylon webbing strap that is fully adjustable up to 62 inches. This allows you to wear it comfortably as a shoulder bag or as a crossbody.
The bag is crafted from 100% hand-loomed cotton, which is sturdy and well-suited for light hiking and nature walks. However, as it is a natural fiber, it is best to avoid heavy abrasion or extremely wet conditions.
The back zipper pocket is designed to sit against your body, making it an ideal, secure spot for flat valuables like your wallet, smartphone, or keys.
Because the bag is made of hand-loomed cotton, we recommend spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or drying to maintain the integrity of the fabric and the artisan-made construction.
