Our Giga tote is perfect for days when there is a lot to carry. A spacious, lightweight but strong tote, featuring sturdy vegetable tanned bridle handles. The bag is cut and sewn in Suffolk then sent to us in Clapton for finishing. We hand edge paint the straps and attach them inhouse. The bag can be folded in and clipped at the sides to make a smaller and more triangular shape, or used open for full effect. Made from water resistant British waxed cotton with a slightly antique look finish which will age beautifully with wear. Finished with Italian brass hardware. Size: Height 42 cm x Width 48cm x Depth 17cm Strap length: 66cm Halley Stevensons water-resistant waxed cotton Hand-painted Italian vegetable-tanned leather handles Magnetic fastening Inside slip pocket Simple unlined interior Bridle leather side popper tabs to adjust shape Silver Italian brass hardware Cut and sewn in Suffolk, finished by hand in our Hackney studio CARE This is made using waxed cotton from Halley Stevenson, who have been making high quality cloth in Dundee since 1864. A classic heritage cloth, waxed cotton is water and wind resistant, but also breathes well. This makes it perfect for everyday wear, be that in a rain mac or a handbag. Traditional waxed cotton should not be machine or hand washed with any detergents, as this will strip the wax coating off and may lead to uneven marks in the cloth. We recommend sponge cleaning the material with water, and mud/dirt should always be left to dry before being brushed off. Many of our waxed cloths come complete with a characteristic 'antique' semi creased finish. Waxed Cotton cloth can be re-waxed after heavy use or when needed. For top ups, we sell smaller tins here, which are heated in water bath and then applied to the garment or bag with a lint free, clean cotton cloth. It should then be left to hang dry for a recommended 24 hours in a well ventilated space. Contact us if you would like specific care advice for your bag.
