Product Insights

Barbour's Red Writing Tote, at 68 CAD the most affordable entry into the brand's heritage of manufacturing certified by a trio of Royal Warrants since 1894, is crafted from unwaxed 100% cotton canvas that is tightly woven and develops a patina with use. Its core promise is accessible Barbour canvas quality, but the main tradeoff is demanding care: the bag requires sponge cleaning only, with pre-treatment of a water repellent to prevent water spots and protect the red dye, which may bleed when damp and can transfer to other surfaces. The tote weighs 9 oz and has an 11.75-inch strap drop for over-the-shoulder carry.

Very satisfactory bag

Jay H.

It’s not over the top boastful Barbour branded, but it’s got a classic charm. Very nice gold snap to close it. Long enough straps to hang from my shoulder. One internal pocket. I’ll get so much use out of this bag.
