Fabric Choices & Care:
Cotton Canvas
This is a heavy weight textile (275 g/m2) made of 100% cotton. The fabric color is off-white and has a tight weave, holding its structure well without being rigid. Cotton canvas is an excellent choice for those desiring a durable option that still has a degree of movement and drape.
Due to some residual ink from the print process, for first washing wash alone with a full load setting in cold water. Add a mild detergent, 1 cup vinegar and 2 tsp salt. For future washes, machine wash with cold water with a phosphate free detergent.
Machine dry on high heat.
Iron on cotton setting or medium to high heat.
Expect some shrinking: 2-3% in width and length
Poly Canvas
This is a heavy-weight fabric (360 g/m2) made of 100% polyester. The fabric color is white and has a highly structured weave with a matte surface finish and a high degree of durability. This textile is an excellent choice for anyone preferring the ease of polyester and a structured shape for their tote bag.
Machine wash with warm water in a regular cycle using a phosphate free detergent and no bleach.
Machine dry on medium to high heat or hang to dry.
Iron on synthetic setting.
Expect minor shrinking: less than 1% in width and length
