About 16 x 16 inches (41 x 41 cm), with a 4 inch (10 cm) gusset at the base and sides. That gusset is what lets it stand up and swallow a surprising amount: a laptop, a grocery run or a whole day's worth of odds and ends. Full measurements are on our Size Guide.

Yes. The handles are long and reinforced so the tote sits comfortably on the shoulder rather than dangling from your hand, and there is room to spare over a coat.

It is. Each tote is printed edge to edge on the front and the back, so it looks finished whichever way it faces.

There is one slip pocket inside, sized for a phone, keys, glasses or a transit card, so the small things don't sink to the bottom.

It's an open-top tote, which makes it quick to pack and unpack at the checkout or the library desk.

Spot clean small marks, or hand wash the whole bag in cold water, then let it air dry. If you want it crisp, iron it cool on the reverse. Please skip the tumble dryer, which can shrink canvas and dull the print.
