Heavy 16oz canvas is built to last for years. A little care keeps it looking good and holding its shape.

Everyday care

• Shake out sand, crumbs and debris after each use.
• Empty the pockets before storing it.
• Let the bag dry completely before folding it away if it gets wet. Canvas stored damp can develop mildew.

Spot cleaning (recommended first)

• Dab marks with a damp cloth and a little mild soap or washing-up liquid.
• Work from the outside of the stain inwards. Don't scrub hard, as this can roughen the canvas.
• Rinse with a clean damp cloth and air dry.

Machine washing

• Turn the bag inside out and empty all pockets.
• Wash at 30°C maximum on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent.
• Wash with similar colours. Coloured canvas can release dye, especially in the first few washes.
• No bleach and no fabric softener. Softener breaks down the canvas fibres and makes the bag floppy.

Drying

• Reshape the bag while it's damp and air dry it flat or hanging.
• Don't tumble dry. Heat can shrink cotton canvas and weaken the seams.
• Dry it out of direct sunlight to avoid fading.
