The Canvas bag is one of the most favorite bags in the market related with its simple design and durable material. Therefore, people could use it longer than other bags made from other materials. Basically, canvas is a heavy material that resists water and stains excellently. However, it will be better for you make it waterproof to bring total protection to any items kept inside your bag. Besides, it is quite easy to make your bag waterproof since basically canvas is water repellent material.
First, you can start to clean both outside and inside your bag thoroughly. Make sure that there is no stain left since most waterproofing agents make it very difficult or even impossible to remove. Besides, you have to pay attention to the seams. A bag with overlapping seams might not need additional treatment or help. Meanwhile, a product with hidden seams needs more attentions. You can use some amount of rubber sealant along the entire seams by using the applicator.
Second, get a silicone-based waterproofer and spray it over the whole outside part. Give more attention to the seams and the bottom. Make sure that the entire outside part are sprayed well so it will form a layer to make it waterproof. However, you have to keep in mind that this layer will rub of slowly as you use the bag. Therefore, you have to redo this process occasionally to keep the layer perfect in protecting your bag and its contents from water.
Third, you have to consider the zipper, as well. Some zippers are great in keeping out water from entering your bag. Check your zipper first. If you find that the water is easily coming on through the zipper, you can take advantage of acid-free packing tape. Tape the zipper down and you can reapply the tape every time you use the zipper to get better result.
By making your canvas bag waterproof, you can totally protect every single item kept on your bag from water. Therefore, you should not worry too much about your belongings when you have to going through the rain. Just try it.
Since canvas bag are available in many different attractive styles and models, you will always find the best bag to enhance your appearance. Canvas mail bags could be one of your great options. Since they are initially designed to be a kind of mailing equipment, these canvas bags come in wider space.

I have been using this bag for school since the begining of August. It's my senior year and I have a heavy load of classes, most of them are honors classes too. This bag holds my huge Literature book, my French book, and whatever novels i'm reading along with two bottles of water, and a couple of snacks to munch on during the day (since I have lunch at the last part of the day.) This bag is so durrable! Nothing has wore out yet on the bag either. The front pocket is perfect to fit highlighters, and some pens in but the pencils will slide right out if you're not careful (i've lost a dozen penicls from doing that...) I even have this bag to carry my dance thigns around with me! So Ballet slippers, a pair of tights, a leotard, a shirt, shorts/skirt, Lyrical shoes, water, my Ballet dictionary, and whattever else I need. This bag may look small online, but trust me this is worth the 13 dollers or so! If you're looking for a good quality bag that won't break in half from holding items, and isn't clunky then this is your bag! I have the khaki color, and it's not exactly the light khaki color showed online. It's a bit darker than the picture shown online.

I have used this bag from everything from carrying books to making sure that I have the things I need as a move around town. I always have something stashed in it for those long waits and I am able to organize and protect documents inside of it. The only thing I would do differently next time is to get a leather one for the form factor.

I'm just so glad to finally have a messenger bag to carry around. The material is a little stretchy, so it doesn't hold it's shape as well as you would think, but as long as you have something hard like a large book or a laptop inside, it's all fine. The shoulder pad is great. I can fit my laptop/laptop case, a few books, all my notebooks, my wallet, and my sketchbook in the center 3 pockets. The little nitbits of things like pens/pencils/computer mouse/phone all fit into the smaller pocket.It shipped fast - within a week, I think. |
