Barebones Living Neelum Tote Bag

Because the bag is made from waxed cotton, it will naturally scuff and crease with use. Over time, these marks create a unique, weathered look that makes the bag feel more personal and broken-in, rather than wearing out.

The 12-ounce waxed canvas is water-resistant, meaning it will repel light rain and splashes to keep your contents dry. However, it is not fully waterproof, so it should not be submerged in water or left out in heavy, prolonged downpours.

Avoid putting this bag in the washing machine, as it will strip the wax coating. Instead, spot clean with a damp cloth and cold water, allowing it to air dry completely.

Yes, the straps are made from durable cotton webbing designed to handle significant weight. While they are sturdy, they are not padded, so if you are carrying very heavy gear for long distances, you may feel the weight on your shoulders.

The heavy-duty 12-ounce canvas provides enough structure for the bag to hold its shape reasonably well when set down. While it isn't rigid like a structured basket, it is sturdy enough to stay upright for easier loading and unloading.
