The Superior Labor Paraffin Canvas Tote Bag – White
£245.00
The Superior Labor’s Paraffin Canvas Tote in White: 100% cotton Kurashiki canvas coated in domestic paraffin, which repels some water and dirt, with Tochigi leather handles and removable shoulder straps riveted so the leather wraps the bag vertically. The mouth closes with snaps, and inside is a three-layer flap pocket with a zipped middle layer and a divided top layer for small things.
Mostly hand manufactured by Japanese craftspeople, from sewing and painting to washing and assembly: a timeless bag that pairs function with simple, elegant design. The leather’s colour varies naturally with the tanning.
Size: H36 x W38cm
Material: 100% cotton Kurashiki canvas, leather and solid brass
Handmade in Japan

The Superior Labor was founded in 2007 by Makoto Kawai, a master of leatherwork and vintage clothing. The workshop at Nap Village was established in 2012, high in the Okayama mountains, where a small team cuts and sews every piece by hand.
The quality of materials and superb craftsmanship are what sets TSL apart. Paraffin-coated canvas, Tochigi and glove leather, and solid brass hardware are all chosen to wear in rather than wear out.
Our range covers the stationery side of what they make: pen cases and pen rolls, A5 and A6 notebook covers, zip organisers, canvas and leather pouches, and the Engineer and Mission Case bags, alongside brass charms and clips. New collections are released twice a year and are usually offered here as a pre-order before they land.
