What is the bag made of?

Where is the bag manufactured?

Are the handles adjustable?
The handles are made of heavy webbing and are not adjustable, but are designed for comfortable shoulder or hand carrying.
Can this bag be used for heavy-duty shopping?
Yes, it is designed for market shopping and daily use, with sturdy organic cotton and strong webbing handles. However, for extremely heavy loads, distribute weight evenly.
Troubleshooting
Bag feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are washing at 30°C and avoid harsh detergents. Lay flat to dry naturally; the fabric should soften with use.
Zipper on the internal pocket is difficult to move
Gently try to maneuver the zipper. If it snags on fabric, carefully unpick the threads. For persistent stiffness, a small amount of wax or graphite lubricant can be applied.
Handles feel uncomfortable when heavily loaded
While designed for comfort, extreme loads may still cause pressure. Distribute weight evenly within the bag. The webbing is intended to be softer than leather, but very heavy contents will always be noticeable.

Cons
- Requires specific washing instructions (30°C wash) to maintain fabric integrity.
- Dimensions might be smaller than expected for those needing a very large capacity bag (Height: 18 Cm, Width: 38 Cm, Length: 46 Cm - note: product description mentions 'Length: 46 Cm' and 'Height: 18 Cm' which may be a typo, likely referring to width/depth and height respectively, or vice versa, as typical tote bag dimensions are usually listed as Height x Width x Depth or Width x Height x Depth. Assuming 46cm is the primary dimension, possibly width or length).
