Calico Tote Bag 38 x 42cm Double Long Strap

This 38 × 42 cm calico tote bag with double long straps is a versatile, eco-friendly essential designed for over-the-shoulder comfort. Made from 100 % natural unbleached cotton, it offers a perfect blank surface for screen-printing, hand-painting, or dyeing. The bag’s generous size and sturdy build make it suitable for everyday use, promotional giveaways, or custom retail designs.

The fabric’s medium weight ensures a smooth surface for fine print detail while retaining a soft handfeel. Whether you’re decorating with pigment inks, natural dyes, or transfer prints, this tote maintains colour integrity and wash-fastness when properly pre-washed and heat-set.

Stylish and sustainable, it’s an excellent base for brands or artists committed to eco-conscious merchandise.
