About this piece

This tote is not messing around, it is function in the form of waxed canvas and cotton webbing. There are no frills or bells and whistles here, just pure hauling power handcrafted at Frost River in Duluth, Minnesota. The Simple Tote is offered in both Field Tan and Heritage Black 18oz waxed canvas.

The company now employs 40 craftspeople in a century-old building overlooking Lake Superior.

The lifetime guarantee isn't marketing; it's how they were raised.
