Care Instructions
Care Instructions
Waxed canvas is known to age beautifully and patina over time. This is especially noticable and happens more quickly with lighter colors such as yellow.
Cleaning Waxed Canvas
Brush off dirt or sand. Use a clean sponge or brush to gently massage small spots with cold water and a drop of mild soap. Rinse with cold water. Let the bag air dry. Do not use warm or hot water, laundry detergent, traditional washing, or dry cleaning.
Re-Waxing Your Bag
To maintain the water resistance of your bag, you may choose to re-wax in a year or two, depending on how much you use it. Use canvas wax according to package instructions.

I love my waxed canvas bag. I use it as a knitting project bag.
I am pretty sure this is one of those things that is magically larger on the inside than it appears from the outside. The central compartment is big enough to hold my big water bottle and whatever else I might need for an evening or afternoon out, and all the little side pockets are perfect for things like a coozy, sunglasses, lighter, deck of cards, flask, or any other small things you like to keep on hand. The open top is great, since you can let things peek out, but the sides are tall enough nothing is going to just fall out.
Not only is it functional as all get out, the tool bag is also super stylish. I get a lot of compliments whenever I bring it around. Like all of Shift + Wheeler's stuff, it manage to be both very classic and very modern at the same time without sacrificing anything in terms of quality. This bag is going to last forever and probably just get better looking the whole time.
I've had my tool bag for years. It's aged beautifully. I'm not much of a purse lover so this bags gender nuetral vibe really works for me. You can have all the keys, wallet, lipgloss ,sunglasses stuff and also a knife, garden tools, dog treats ect! Well organized pocket scene.
You can carry by handles or use the shoulder strap.
You can look right into it.
I often use it as a grocery bag to.
A six pack of cider fits perfectly.
Best bag investment I've ever made.
I've had this bag for three or four years now. It's indispensable, and indestructible. I use it as a purse, as a day bag, as an overnight bag, as a tool bag, as a gardening bag, as a radio dj bag, as a gift-carrying bag. Get one. You'll be glad you did.
