Care
Waxed cotton canvas is a water resistant cotton which creases and marks as it wears. It means it creates a completely unique product, and becomes a visual representation of the adventure's it has been on. These marks are an inherent characteristic of the cloth, adding to the antique, vintage feel of the product.
Recommended care:
-As with all waxed canvas products, do not iron as this will cause the wax to melt.- Hand wash only with cold water and leave to dry away from natural light.
- If field bag is particularly dirty, use a soft brush to wipe away excess dirt before cleaning, using a mild soap/detergent and cold water on more stubborn areas.
- As with all waxed products, re-wax every 6-12 months to restore waxed cotton to top condition.
Sustainability & Transparency
All bags are handmade by me in my studio, allowing me to minimise waste, and reuse all scraps wherever possible. £1 from each sale is donated to Trees For Life, who are rewilding the Caledonian Forest. You can view our grove here.
The waxed cotton is produced in Scotland, from a factory who have been pioneers of the waterproofing textiles industry since 1864. You can read more about the materials we use and why we use them here.
