Care

For canvas products, carefully spot clean the area with soap and water. If the stain still isn't budging try a diluted bleach solution. For Steeletex (vinyl-coated nylon) spray with Simple Green (or degreaser) and wipe clean. For wooden products, regularly wipe clean with a dry cloth to prevent moisture build up and longevity of life.

Love it!

"I picked up this backpack because I’m a big fan of Steele Canvas products and wanted something a little different from the usual. This bag did not disappoint! It has just three compartments: a zippered pocket in the front, a small pocket inside, and one big, roomy main compartment. I was pleasantly surprised that the leather handles don’t add any extra weight—despite looking so sturdy. The whole thing feels incredibly elegant and is way lighter than I expected. Stylish, practical, and totally unique!"

Lovely Backpack

"I love the look of this bag and that it can be both a backpack and can be carried as a side bag with the handles. The backpack's straps are not padded, so if you carry a heavy load, you may feel it in your shoulders over time, but otherwise it's great. I love Steele canvas products so was excited that I this was one I could use everyday."

What is the internal color of the black backpack? Same for the blue backpack
HI Matcha, The color of the inside of the bag will match the exterior canvas color. Best, Sean
