SHANGRI-LA Canvas Crossbody Messenger Bag for Men and Women

This item is made of 100% cotton waxed canvas, decorated with high-quality copper-plated zinc alloy and genuine leather accessories, and is water-resistant and wear-resistant. The waxed canvas is slightly stiffer in winter and softer in summer, but it will soften with age and use. This is because waxed canvas has a unique quality of aging rapidly, developing a worn-in, vintage look and texture very quickly.

For those who prefer a softer style, a washed canvas option is available. The vintage classic look of the waxed canvas features a surface with disorderly wrinkles that is easily scratched, resulting in a retro and wild style suitable for both men and women. If you want your new waxed canvas bag to have an aged appearance and feel, the best approach is simply to use it, as this is the most effective way to achieve the desired character and texture.

The design is simple, with a flap that snaps over the bag to help deter pickpockets. There is also an easily accessible pocket on the back with magnetic snaps, allowing access without opening the flap. Additionally, there is a front pocket on the bag. The main compartment is a spacious zippered section that includes a phone and medicine holder, as well as a small zipper pouch for storing valuables. This provides ample storage and pockets without making the bag too bulky.

The overall size options are as follows: Small size - 11.3 inches x 9 inches x 2.7 inches; Medium size - 13.5 inches x 9.7 inches x 3.5 inches. These dimensions allow for easy accommodation of devices such as the iPad Pro and Kindle, as well as books.

The bag is designed to be functional and multipurpose, suitable for daily use, trips, travel, and hiking as a daypack or shoulder bag. It can accommodate a variety of items, including tablets, power banks, passports, notebooks, wallets, snacks, drinks, small souvenirs, purses, keys, and other essential everyday carry items.

Regarding the fabric options, there are two types - waxed canvas and soft canvas without wax. The waxed canvas is slightly stiffer in winter and softer in summer, and it will become more supple with use over time. It also offers good water resistance. The waxed canvas is unique in its ability to age quickly, developing a worn-in, vintage look and texture.

If you prefer a softer feel, the soft canvas option may be more suitable. The soft canvas has a brighter color and does not accumulate as many marks, creases, or scratches as the waxed canvas. However, the waxed canvas can also be treated with warm air (such as a hairdryer) to dissolve the wax and reduce the visibility of these imperfections.

In terms of durability and quality, the bag is decorated with genuine leather, durable golden hardware, and high-quality zippers, ensuring it can be used for an extended period. Overall, this bag is a versatile and stylish choice for everyday use, travel, and day trips, suitable for both women and men.
