Know before you buy
The Boat and Tote is made from heavy-duty, untreated cotton canvas. While it is highly durable and can handle light moisture, it is not waterproof and may absorb water if left in heavy rain or standing puddles.
The integrated zipper runs the full length of the bag's opening, providing a reliable barrier that keeps your items contained and prevents them from spilling out if the bag tips over.
Yes, the webbing handles are designed for durability and are wide enough to distribute weight evenly across your hand or shoulder. They are reinforced at the stress points to ensure they hold up under a full load.
The Boat and Tote features a spacious, open-concept interior designed for maximum versatility. It does not include built-in pockets, so you may want to use a separate pouch or organizer if you prefer to keep smaller items like keys or phones partitioned.
Because of the heavy-duty canvas construction, the best way to clean the bag is by spot-cleaning with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid machine washing, as it can compromise the structure and finish of the canvas.
