Peg and Awl-Waxed Canvas Tote

Tried and trusted by Brooklyn General Store staff, this tote fits the category of "perfect bag!"  It has that magic quality of being bigger on the inside than it looks - plenty of room for your knitting, wallet, notebook, lunch, coffee thermos, glasses case - while still being compact and easy to carry.  The leather and waxed canvas soften up beautifully over time, and it's made to last.

From Peg & Awl's website:

Constructed with durable waxed canvas and finished with brown vegetable tanned leather, our Tote is a blank slate waiting to be marked with the adventures and stories of use. This is the holy grail in unisex carryall totes: practical and perfect in every way. This tote was built to endure. Load it up, bring it everywhere.

For those city dwellers, travelers and others wanting more security, the Tote has a separating zipper that tucks neatly in the bag when not needed.

Waxed canvas originated in the sailing industry in Scotland in the 1920s and became widely used in sportswear and apparel because of its waterproofing abilities and superb durability.
