The New York Public Library Shop Bookbinding Stamp Tote

Because the bag is made from waxed canvas, it will naturally scuff, crease, and soften with use. These marks aren't defects; they create a unique, weathered appearance over time that reflects how you use the bag.

With dimensions of 15.5 inches high by 13.5 inches wide, it comfortably fits most standard 13-inch laptops or tablets, along with a few books or notebooks. However, it does not feature a padded laptop sleeve, so you may want to use a protective case.

Avoid putting this bag in the washing machine or dry cleaning it, as that will strip the wax coating. Instead, spot clean with a damp cloth and cold water, or use a soft brush to remove dried dirt.

Yes, the handles are made from durable leather designed to withstand daily use. With a 9-inch handle drop, the bag sits comfortably on your shoulder, even when loaded with books or groceries.

The 14oz waxed canvas is water-resistant, meaning it will protect your belongings during light rain or a quick commute. It is not fully waterproof, so it should not be submerged or left out in a heavy downpour.
