Purple with Oak Leaves Bag No. 4 - The Market Bag

The Oak Leaves design was painted by Veronica Parsons. Expanding on the love of color and the infinite nuances that can be created, Babs and Veronica have been busy creating custom watercolor designs for our newest bag collections. Each design is painted by hand and then printed in limited editions on sturdy canvas fabric. Blue Spring Craft is incorporating these works into existing and new bag designs. This collaboration is a continuation of our creative process, and we hope you find designs and colors you love. 

The Market Bag is an open top tote designed to keep your project and your essentials ready for easy access. The Market bag has short handles that are fastened with copper rivets for the ultimate in strength. It has a leather base with feet and all the pockets of The Everywhere Bag. The Market Bag stands up easily so everything you carry is accessible when you need it, and ready to go when you are.

The Market Bag is fully lined with natural cotton canvas and accented with interior pockets in waxed canvas. There are no exposed seams.

A little bit about waxed canvas: 
Waxed canvas began as oilcloth in the 1800s, when sailors added linseed oil to their sails to better catch the wind. Since the 1930s, wax has been used to make cotton canvas water resistant. Natural and renewable, waxed canvas is a fabric invention that has been successfully adapted for many uses over the years. 

Care Instructions: 
Waxed canvas develops a patina over time, as the wax takes on the patterns of use. 

Waxed canvas is water resistant, but not waterproof. Please don’t expose to heat or iron. The best way to clean dirt on waxed canvas is with water. Stains or spots may be cleaned with a soft cloth and mild soap. Rinse and air dry.
