Setup
- Attach Strap: To convert your tote for shoulder or crossbody wear, locate the small D-rings on each side of the bag. Clip the carabiners of the detachable webbed strap securely onto these D-rings.
- Adjust Strap Length: Use the buckle on the webbed strap to customize its length, ensuring a comfortable fit for either shoulder or crossbody use.

Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your cotton canvas tote bag, follow these care guidelines:
- Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt or small spills, immediately blot the affected area with a clean, damp cloth. Use a small amount of mild, pH-neutral soap if necessary, then gently wipe clean. Avoid harsh scrubbing which can damage the canvas fibers or color.
- Deep Cleaning: For more significant stains, consider using a fabric cleaner specifically designed for cotton canvas. Always test the cleaner on an inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn't cause discoloration.
- Drying: After cleaning, allow the bag to air dry completely at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like hair dryers or place it in direct sunlight, as this can cause fading, shrinkage, or alter the canvas texture.
- Storage: When not in use, stuff the bag with acid-free tissue paper or a soft cloth to help it maintain its shape. Store it in a dust bag (if provided) or a breathable pillowcase in a cool, dry place away from direct light and humidity. Avoid hanging the bag by its handles for extended periods to prevent stretching or deforming the handles.
- Avoid Overloading: While durable, consistently overloading the bag can stress the seams and handles, potentially affecting its shape and lifespan.
