A Joshu +Vela hero item, the Boat Tote remains a timeless and steadfast favorite of customers and the team alike. And what’s not to love? The sleek original silhouette is only elevated by its composition: durable 24oz canvas, thick bridle leather handles and shoulder strap, a double canvas bottom, military spec enclosure, and copper rivets. Truly, built to last is an understatement.
