Merchandise
We make all our colourful canvas carrying bags out of Sunbrella furniture fabrics, which is a waterproof, mildew proof, UV protected, sturdy, yet soft material so that your bag will last for many years to come. We use webbing to re-enforce high stress areas and protective chafe patches on high wear areas.
Here are just some of the types of bags we make:

- Sling bags
- Personal purses
- City satchels
- Tool aprons
- Artists rolls
- Garden tool aprons
- Tool holsters
- Door knob, closet and wall caddies
- Yoga mat carriers
We use Sunbrella fabric because it is made of sturdy material and is prized for its strength and versatility. The handles of your bag can make a huge difference in the quality and versatility of your bag. Since the handles are a crucial part of your tote, we make them of the same canvas as the rest of the tote bag, reinforcing the canvas for extra durability, and adding webbing where needed to add extra carry strength. However, the handles are only as strong as the bag they're attached to so we make sure to use strong, UV and mildew resistant, quality thread, and adequate stitching, taking into consideration the intended use of the bag when we make it. Some bags are open on top, a zipper or snap can help keep your possessions from falling out while providing extra security if you use it as a purse. We add zippered or snapped pouches and key fobs for easy organizing, and can modify an existing bag to meet your needs.
Some of the uses for our colourful canvass carrying bags include:
