Cookie Crust Shoulder Bag / Woven Rush / Canvas Bag / Thickened

The Cookie Crust Bag is available in both tote and shoulder bag styles. The canvas bag, much like a cookie crust, encloses the rush filling. This bag features gentle beige canvas, whose inherent sturdiness makes it a superb choice for complementing any outfit. Slices of rush, edged with vegan leather, are formed into tubes and seamlessly integrated between the upper and lower canvas layers. This design minimizes the need for buttons and zippers, allowing the bag's inherent structure to naturally and smoothly secure the straps. The upper canvas layer can be folded up to expand the bag's capacity, offering a versatile two-way style. What appears to be an ordinary canvas bag subtly reveals an elegant demeanor. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53700498079_1753f60de3_o_d.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53699265447_e04291fe75_o_d.jpg With a more spacious interior, you can effortlessly pack all your daily essentials without hesitation! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53699265602_ea6dc8ce9d_o_d.jpg The removable rush panels make cleaning the bag a breeze. While the rush panels are sun-drying, you can still carry the canvas portion of the bag. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53700373153_6218f94c33_o_d.jpg • Specifications and Materials Dimensions: Base Length 34cm x Height 37cm x Base Width 10cm Primary Materials: True Triangle Rush, Vegan Leather, Canvas Weave Density and Grade: 3-4 rows / Grade 4 / Classic (Please refer to the grading explanation below) Origin: Yuanli, Taiwan **Handmade items may have a size tolerance of +/- 0.5cm. Please do not place an order if this is a concern.** **▸ Grading Explanation ◂** Rush weaving is entirely handmade. Variations in reed thickness and hand strength during the process result in different levels of fineness in the finished products. Based on traditional grading, and incorporating the finest current standards, our rush-woven items are categorized into four grades based on fineness: Coarse Weave (Classic), Medium Weave, Fine Weave, and Exquisite Weave. Weave density is measured in "cun" (1 cun = 3.03 cm). One row is formed by the interlacing of the upper and lower reeds. A higher number of rows within a unit length indicates a finer weave and longer working hours. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51807150093_a23856dbfb_b.jpg **▸ Artisan's Signature ◂** You can find a delightful surprise of the artisan's signature stamp on the product's tag. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51807763170_a5c4f36a80_b.jpg **▸ Rush Care Instructions ◂** 1.
