Vintage Red Scout Wool and Waxed Canvas Crossbody Tote – Leather Strap, Handmade Purse, Heirloom Collection

Part of our Heirloom Collection - Red Scout Crossbody Bag

The tote bag shown in the photos is the exact bag you will receive. Each bag is one of a kind.

Rustic and stylish, this handmade crossbody tote is crafted with a durable waxed canvas exterior and features wool and patches from a vintage scouting blanket. The front includes two wool pockets, while the back is finished with plain red waxed canvas for a clean look.

Inside, the bag is lined with tan twill and includes one interior pocket for organization. Genuine leather handles, and a secure metal zipper closure complete the design. An adjustable, removable crossbody strap is also included for versatile carrying options.

Why waxed canvas?
This material is the same rugged fabric used for marine sails—highly durable and naturally water-resistant. Over time, waxed canvas develops a beautiful patina, adding to its character. If you prefer a refreshed look, a hair dryer can help restore the finish (refer to YouTube tutorials for guidance).
