03 - The Reading Life

Built for the way you read.

Heavy-duty natural canvas. Structured sides that stand on their own. The Reader's Tote was designed with one person in mind — someone who never leaves the house without a book (or two).

Deep exterior pockets keep your current read within reach, while the roomy interior handles everything else — a water bottle, your laptop, a journal. No more choosing between your bag and your library.

Whether you're heading to the café, the park, or a long weekend away, The Reader's Tote carries it all — simply, beautifully, and without complaint.

Frequently Asked

What size books does it fit?

The Reader's Tote fits everything from slim paperbacks to large hardcovers with ease. The deep front pocket holds most standard paperbacks (up to 9" tall), while the main compartment comfortably fits hardcovers, oversized books, and even an e-reader or small tablet alongside your other essentials.

What is it made of?

The Reader's Tote is crafted from heavyweight natural canvas — durable, breathable, and built to get better with age. The interior features a clean cotton lining, and the reinforced base keeps it structured whether it's full or empty.

Can I wash it?

We recommend spot cleaning with a damp cloth for everyday marks. For a deeper clean, hand wash gently in cold water and leave to air dry. Avoid machine washing to preserve the canvas shape and natural texture.

How long does it take to ship?

We currently ship to the US and Canada. Orders typically arrive within 15–30 business days. You'll receive a tracking number as soon as your tote is on its way. 📦
