Canvas Weekender

A holdall for three days away. The Canvas Weekender is cut from a heavy waxed cotton that shrugs off rain, and it is shaped to stand open on a bed while you pack, then close flat under a train seat.

Materials

• Waxed cotton canvas, 18 oz, with a cotton lining
• Cotton webbing handles in forest green, stitched right round the base
• Solid brass zip and hardware

Details

• 40 L, 21.5 × 12 × 10 in, 3.5 lbs empty
• Sized for the overhead bin on most flights
• Detachable, padded shoulder strap
• One zipped inner pocket and two open pockets for small things

Care

The wax will crease and lighten where the bag is handled most; that is how it should age. Brush off dry dirt, spot-clean marks with cold water and let the bag dry at room temperature. Once a year, or after a wet season, rework the wax with a bar of fabric wax and a hairdryer on a low setting.
