The original Everyday Tote
The Everyday Tote
Our original waxed-canvas tote. Rugged, sturdy and weather-resistant, it opens wide, carries your daily essentials and gets better with age. Built to last, it’s a gift they’ll carry for years.
WAXED CANVAS + WATERPROOF LINING
Waxed canvas built to take a beating. It develops a unique character over time, with every scuff and crease telling its own story, similar to an oilskin coat or an Akubra hat.
Open top, dual handles
The wide open top and dual carry handles mean the Everyday Tote is fast to load and fast to grab, whether it's groceries or everyday. Use the long straps for over the shoulder and short straps for heavier loads.
Daily Durability
Built for the long haul, the Everyday Tote combines heavy-duty construction with durable materials to remain a dependable companion through years of daily use.

FAQ
Is the Everyday Tote waterproof?
The waxed canvas outer and 8oz waterproof canvas lining make the Everyday Tote highly water-resistant. It can actually hold ice or water overnight, with some drops gradually seeping through the unsealed seams. It’s ideal for wet swimmers, damp gear and setting down on wet ground. For full submersion, use a dedicated dry bag.
What is it made from?
The Everyday Tote is made from tightly woven 10oz Army Duck waxed cotton canvas, paired with an 8oz waterproof canvas lining, and upholstery-grade thread.
Does it come in any other sizes?
Our Utility Bag is essentially the bigger version of the Everyday Tote. It can carry a carton of beer or firewood (or groceries!)
How do I care for it?
Treat it like an oilskin coat or a good pair of boots. Brush off dirt, spot-clean with a damp cloth and allow it to air-dry. Cherish the creases, marks and patina, and reproof it as needed with our Platypus Wax Bar, sold separately. Avoid machine washing.
What is the difference between the Remote Tote and the Everyday Tote?
The Everyday Tote has an open top, dual carry handles and a waxed-canvas outer with a waterproof canvas lining. It has a more rugged finish and greater weather resistance.
The Remote Tote is a zip-top carryall made from extra thick unwaxed canvas. It features three internal pockets making it ideal for travel, beach days, and daily carry.
Choose the Remote Tote for secure closure, organisation and a classic raw canvas finish.
Choose the Everyday Tote for a nostalgic rugged look, quick access, flexible carrying and waxed-canvas character and waterproofing qualities.
Both bags are around 28L in size but differ slightly in measurement.
