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
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.

I absolutely love this bag. The shape holds up and it fits everything. It's sturdy and chic. It's great for everyday use.
I love that this tote is lightweight, along with pockets on the outside, and it can handle everything I need to carry everywhere.
These totes are spectacular. Very well crafted and beautiful to carry.
First of all, I love the sturdiness and structure of this bag. It stands up on its own, it does not slouch. Somehow the dimensions and proportions of it emulate the golden ratio. The leather handles are satisfyingly shaped with a fine bevel edge and carry comfortably on the shoulder or in the hand. Again, no slouch in the handles. Not too big as to be heavy itself. Two deep because -organization. And the striped ticking inside bottom means small items are easy to spot and won't get lost in the seams and corners. And let's acknowledge the waxed canvas that will patina toward greatness. This is a lifetime bag, your ride-or-die bag. I got it in yellow/gray/brown leather so it gives me happy vibes. Mwaahh!!
Perfect for toting things in the PNWs rainy season.
