Over the years more materials are being experimented with when it comes to bags. Canvas is a strong material that has many practical uses. Canvas bags are used by painters, handbag designers, and even sailors.

What is canvas?

In simple terms, canvas is a fabric created out of cotton and linen. The linen composition in canvas is much lower than cotton. When blended with synthetic fibers, this material also becomes waterproof.

Canvas was initially made of hemp, instead of cotton. It derives its name from Latin, where the word cannabis meant “made of hemp.” As cotton became more popular all over the world, manufacturers switched to cotton to create this material.

Here at Lavington Designs, we mainly use canvas to make our bags. We have a wide range of bags on offer from wine totes to waxed canvas weekenders. Clients often ask us why we use this material for our products. Here’s why:

Strong material

Canvas is an incredibly strong material. Even a single layer is difficult to damage, making them ideal for the kind of bags we offer. Our bags are made entirely out of canvas, which means the straps won’t tear away and the bag will be able to carry the weight of your belongings.

The tight knit of this material prevents any damage, tears, and splits from developing on the bag, making it ideal for the outdoors.

Versatile

When designed carefully, canvas can be really versatile. Our designers have made a variety of bags out of them, including our popular customized cosmetics pouch. For more heavy duty wear, we have designed waxed travel bags that repel water. As for lighter use, we have created garment bags out of more delicate canvas.

Looks stylish

Canvas is a material that can be sported at any time of the year. The off-white/cream color that’s typical of this fabric works in all seasons. Our Large Cabana Tote also comes in a number of colors and can be customized according to your requirements.

It’s long lasting

Canvas bags are known for being long lasting. The strong material and premium stitching means that these bags will be with you for many years to come. It’s also easily washable, so whenever you notice your bag looking grubby, give it a wash.

Can easily be customized

Here at Lavington Designs we are known for our customizable gifts. We can monogram the pieces you select in any color and font you want. Our monograms are embroidered onto the material so that it can last you many years. Using canvas for our bags makes it easier to customize. We can change up the color of the bag, straps, and even the embroidery according to your preferences.
