FAQ

Questions before checkout

What is the tote made of?
It is made of heavy woven cotton canvas, with the cartoon bear screened directly onto the front panel. The thick weave gives the bag a body of its own, so it keeps its shape whether it is full or half empty, and the ink sits in the weave so the print stays readable through daily handling rather than cracking on the surface.
How does it close?
It has an open top with no zip, which gives quick access to the single main compartment. A reinforced doubled hem runs along the opening, so the mouth resists stretching as you load and unload. If you prefer to keep the top covered, you can fold a scarf or a jacket over the opening once the bag is packed.
Which colours and styles are available?
The tote comes in beige and khaki. The beige version crowds the canvas with a whole pile of bears, while the khaki version gives one big head bear the entire front. There is also a bold M lettering front. One version finishes with a small bear pendant charm clipped near the handle, and a pendant free version keeps the same print and shape.
Can I carry it on my shoulder?
Yes. The flat woven straps drop to shoulder length, so you can carry the tote hands free on a commute or a walk to class. The straps are stitched flat rather than rolled, so they sit comfortably on the shoulder instead of digging in, even when the single deep compartment is loaded for the day.
How much does it hold?
The single deep compartment swallows a day's load. On a weekday it takes a laptop sleeve, a notebook and a lunch box to a desk. On a market run it carries loose produce, a folded tote of bread and a water bottle. The wide open top means you drop everything in and reach it again in one motion, without unzipping anything.
What is the bear pendant charm?
One version of the tote adds a small fluffy bear pendant that clips near the handle and swings as you walk. It is a soft caramel plush face against the printed canvas, and it is the detail people tend to notice first. If you want a cleaner look, the pendant free version keeps the same bear print, the same canvas and the same roomy compartment.
How do I keep it looking good?
Spot clean the canvas with a damp cloth for everyday marks, or hand wash it in cool water and air dry it flat when it needs a deeper clean. Empty the compartment before washing so the doubled hem and the straps dry evenly. Because the bear is screened into the weave, the print stays crisp rather than peeling after a wash.
Will the bag stand up on its own?
Yes. The flat base lets the tote stand on its own while you pack, so it does not tip over or collapse around what you put in. Set it on a desk, a kitchen counter or the floor by the door, load it with both hands and the heavy canvas body keeps it upright until you lift it onto the shoulder.
