WWII Era Salvaged Canvas Tote Bag v.1

  • Durable, worn in canvas salvaged from a WWII era US military duffle bag has been thoughtfully paired together and reworked into a versatile tote bag. This large tote bag is perfect for every day use or for a short weekend getaway.
  • The material used to construct this bag is over 70 years old but still in great condition. Any discoloration of the fabric is the result of many years of natural wear and aging.
  • Fully lined with beige cotton canvas, this bag features one interior pocket that will comfortably hold your phone, wallet and lots more. Leather bottom boot and shoulder straps are made from beautiful, top grain cow hide. This leather is tough enough to last a life time, but soft and supple enough for comfort.
