The name says it all — and then some. The Utility Tote is the workhorse of the Shift + Wheeler bag collection: practical as hell without sacrificing an ounce of good looks. Carry your laptop, your lunch, your whole entire life. It snaps shut, shrugs off rain (waxed canvas, baby!), and only gets better looking over time.

Our waxed canvas tote includes strong bridle leather handles. Available in a range of colors. Approximately 15"x14"x4". 10” Strap drop. Bottom inside panel of bag is made with striped railroad denim. This helps you see things at the bottom of your bag and is cute to boot!

Made by hand in Astoria, Oregon.

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

To maintain the water resistance of your item, 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.
