These full size totes are made from heavy-duty 100% cotton natural color canvas. They are perfect for painting or silk-screening your favorite image onto the side. The straps are also heavy-duty, and are long enough to comfortably fit over your shoulder.  Because they are approximately the same size as a large grocery bag they are perfect for carrying groceries. Other uses include carrying books and papers, even seashells and agates for beach combing! This tote was strength-tested by putting over 200 pounds in it, and it passed the test wonderfully!
