Q: What sizes are available, and how much does each one hold?
A: It comes in Small, Medium, Large, and Extra-Large. Capacities are approx. 504 cu. in. (8 L) for Small, 1,008 cu. in. (17 L) for Medium, 2,124 cu. in. (35 L) for Large, and 3,400 cu. in. (56 L) for Extra-Large. If you want an everyday tote that is easy to carry, Small or Medium is a great place to start, while Large and Extra-Large are better when you need more room.
Q: If I'm buying this as a gift, should I choose regular or long handles?
A: Choose regular handles for easy hand carry, and long handles if you think they'll want to carry it on their shoulder. Handle lengths by size are: Small (Regular 5", Long 14"), Medium (Regular 6", Long 14"), Large (Regular 8", Long 14"), and Extra-Large (Regular 10", Long 14"). When you're unsure, long handles are a safe choice for day-to-day versatility.
Q: Does the Boat and Tote Zip-Top close securely?
A: Yes, it has a zip-top opening. The zip closure helps keep contents more contained when you're on the go, especially for travel, school, or busy days around town.
Q: Is this tote sturdy enough for heavier loads?
A: Yes, it's built with heavy-duty 24 oz. cotton canvas and rugged construction details like overlapped seams that are double-stitched with nylon. It also has a double-layer base and a reinforced flat canvas bottom to help it hold up to everyday hauling. The handles are tested to hold up to 500 pounds.
Q: How do I clean the canvas tote if it gets dirty?
A: Spot clean it as needed. This is the recommended care to help keep the canvas looking its best.
Q: Can I add a monogram, and who is it a good gift for?
A: Yes, it's monogrammable. A monogram is a simple way to make it feel personal for anyone who carries a tote regularly, like a student, commuter, traveler, or busy parent. It's also a nice touch when you're shopping for the holiday season and want something useful they will reach for often.
