From Merchant & Mills:
Strong and Robust Shopper - An oiled canvas (waxcloth) tote bag with an inside pocket and canvas lining and riveted leather handles. This industrious bag is designed to be made in a heavyweight luggage fabric. We used an oiled heavyweight hemp canvas and lined it with a 12 oz duck canvas. We like a stiff solid bag so the bag base has been stiffened with a plastic mesh. Our tote has two thick leather bag handles, riveted into place for some serious hauling. For an alternative look, it works well in muted colors and is especially cosmopolitan in an good weighty denim.
