Using your embroidered cherry canvas boat tote is a breeze. You can use the front outside pocket to keep small, frequently - used items like keys or your phone for easy access. The open main compartment is great for larger items such as books, a beach towel, or groceries. When carrying it, the double handles with a good drop make it comfortable to hold. Since the tote is made to order, it might take 7 - 10 business days to arrive, so plan ahead. To maintain it, spot - clean the canvas with a mild detergent and cold water. Avoid machine - washing as it may damage the embroidery. Keep it away from sharp objects to prevent tears. And always remember, the embroidered design is fixed as shown in the picture, so enjoy its unique look for years to come.
