FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of the Small Tote Bag?
The dimensions are approximately W 10 x D 5 x H 8 inches (Width x Depth x Height). These are external measurements.
What material is the bag made from?
The bag is constructed from durable cotton canvas, known for its resilience and classic texture.
Can I fit a tablet or small laptop inside this bag?
Given the dimensions (W 10 x H 8 inches), it is unlikely to fit most standard tablets or laptops, especially larger ones. It is designed for smaller everyday essentials. Please measure your device against the bag's dimensions.
Is the shoulder strap removable and adjustable?
Yes, the bag features a detachable and adjustable webbed strap, allowing you to customize the length for comfortable shoulder or crossbody wear, or to remove it entirely for hand-carry.
How do I clean my MARC JACOBS Small Tote Bag?
Spot clean only. Use a clean, damp cloth with a mild soap solution for minor marks, then wipe with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry. Do not machine wash or use harsh chemicals.
Does the bag have any internal pockets or dividers?
The bag features a 'spacious open main' compartment. The product description does not mention any internal pockets or dividers, suggesting it's a single, open space.
Is the bag waterproof?
No, as it is made of cotton canvas, the bag is not inherently waterproof. It offers some resistance to light moisture but prolonged exposure to rain or water should be avoided. Consider a protective spray if water resistance is a significant concern, though test on an inconspicuous area first.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or gets stuck.
Gently rub a graphite pencil (pencil lead) along the zipper teeth. Open and close the zipper several times to distribute the graphite. If unavailable, a tiny amount of wax (like a candle end) can also work. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Strap keeps slipping off my shoulder.
Ensure the adjustable buckle on the webbed strap is tightened securely. For shoulder wear, try shortening the strap slightly to allow the bag to sit higher on your body, reducing slippage. The wider webbed strap is generally designed for better grip than thinner straps.
Bag appears to be losing its shape when empty.
Since it's a cotton canvas bag, it may soften over time. To help maintain its structure, gently stuff the bag with tissue paper, a small towel, or a soft cloth when not in use. Avoid storing heavy items on top of it.
Bag is dirty or stained.
Perform spot cleaning as detailed in the 'Care' section using a damp cloth and mild soap. For more stubborn stains, professional cleaning specializing in cotton canvas may be required. Do not machine wash.

Care
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your cotton canvas tote bag, follow these care guidelines:
- Spot Cleaning: For minor spills or stains, gently blot the affected area with a clean, damp cloth. Use a mild soap diluted in water if necessary, then wipe with a clean, damp cloth to remove any soap residue. Allow to air dry completely.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach, strong detergents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the cotton canvas and printed branding.
- Storage: When not in use, store the bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. To help maintain its shape, you may gently stuff the bag with acid-free tissue paper or a soft cloth.
- Protection from Elements: While cotton canvas is durable, it is not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or moisture. If it gets wet, allow it to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
- Avoid Overloading: Do not overload the bag with excessively heavy items, as this could stress the handles or strap attachments.
