Know before you buy
The 12-ounce waxed canvas is naturally water-resistant, meaning it will repel light rain and moisture effectively. While it is not fully waterproof, it is designed to keep your belongings dry during typical daily commutes or trips to the market.
As you use the bag, the wax coating will naturally scuff and crease, creating unique marks and a weathered, vintage look. This process is a hallmark of high-quality waxed canvas and gives the bag a personalized character over time.
Yes, the Neelum tote features adjustable cotton straps. You can easily modify the length to find a comfortable fit, whether you prefer carrying it by hand or slinging it over your shoulder.
Maintenance is straightforward. For minor spots, simply wipe the surface with a damp cloth or a soft brush. Avoid using harsh detergents or machine washing, as these can strip the protective wax coating from the fabric.
The open-top design prioritizes quick access and ease of use, making it ideal for grocery shopping or casual travel. If you are carrying small valuables, we recommend using a separate pouch inside the tote for added security.
