FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of 'The Medium Tote'?

The bag measures approximately 33 cm (width) x 27 cm (height) x 16 cm (depth).

What material is this specific tote made from?

This version of 'The Medium Tote' is crafted from soft yet durable cotton canvas, with a practical blue textile inner lining.

Is the shoulder strap adjustable and detachable?

Yes, the textile shoulder strap is both detachable and fully adjustable, ranging from approximately 95 cm to 145 cm in length, allowing for versatile carrying options.

How many internal pockets does the bag have?

The tote features one main spacious pocket and three additional internal pockets for organized storage of smaller items.

Can I fit a laptop in this bag?

Depending on the size of your laptop, a small laptop or tablet (up to approximately 13 inches, depending on thickness) should fit comfortably within the main compartment. Always check your device's dimensions against the bag's width (33 cm) and height (27 cm).

Is the cotton canvas waterproof?

The cotton canvas is not fully waterproof. It offers some resistance to light splashes but is not designed for heavy rain or submersion. It's best to protect it from extensive moisture.

How much does the bag weigh?

The Marc Jacobs The Medium Tote in Blue Cotton weighs approximately 780 grams (0.78 kg).

How do I clean the metal hardware?

To keep the silver-colored metal detailing shiny, simply wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.

Troubleshooting

Shoulder strap feels uncomfortable or too long/short.

Adjust the slider buckle on the shoulder strap. Experiment with different lengths while wearing the bag to find the most ergonomic and comfortable fit for your body and preferred carrying style (shoulder or crossbody).

Zipper feels stiff or gets stuck.

Gently rub a graphite pencil (standard lead pencil) along the teeth of the zipper. Open and close the zipper a few times to distribute the graphite, which acts as a lubricant. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Bag loses its shape when empty.

While the canvas is shape-retaining, if you prefer a more structured look when empty, you can lightly stuff the bottom and sides with tissue paper or a soft cloth. This helps maintain its boxy form.

Fabric has a minor stain or dirt mark.

Spot clean immediately. Use a clean, soft cloth dampened with lukewarm water and a tiny drop of mild soap. Gently blot the stain without rubbing. Rinse the cloth and blot again to remove soap residue. Air dry completely.

Bag appears creased or wrinkled.

Due to its canvas material, minor creases can occur. You can try lightly steaming the affected area from a distance or gently pressing with a warm iron (on a low setting, with a protective cloth over the canvas) to smooth them out. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Your Marc Jacobs The Medium Tote arrives ready for immediate use. The main setup involves adjusting the detachable shoulder strap to your preferred length.

  1. Attach the strap: Locate the silver-colored metal clips on each end of the shoulder strap. Securely clip them to the D-rings located on the sides of the bag, near the top handles.
  2. Adjust the length: Use the slider buckle on the strap to extend or shorten it. Test different lengths by wearing the bag on your shoulder or crossbody until you find a comfortable and convenient fit for your height and carrying preference.

Compatibility

This medium-sized tote is designed to be a versatile companion.

  • Capacity: It can comfortably hold items such as a small laptop (up to 13 inches, depending on thickness), a tablet, a standard water bottle, a small umbrella, a wallet, phone, and other daily essentials.
  • Style: Its casual blue cotton canvas aesthetic makes it suitable for a wide range of everyday settings, from shopping trips and coffee dates to casual work environments or weekend excursions.

Care

Proper care will maintain the appearance and longevity of your cotton canvas tote.

  1. Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt or stains, gently wipe the affected area with a clean, damp cloth (use lukewarm water) and a small amount of mild soap. Blot, do not rub aggressively, to avoid damaging the fabric or spreading the stain.
  2. Drying: Allow the bag to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can cause fading or material distortion. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  3. Storage: When not in use, store your tote in a cool, dry place, ideally in a dust bag to protect it from dust and scratches. Stuff it lightly with tissue paper or a soft cloth to help retain its shape.
  4. Avoid Excessive Weight: While durable, consistently overloading the bag with excessively heavy items can strain the handles and stitching over time.
  5. Protection from Liquids: Cotton canvas is not fully waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or spills. If it gets wet, blot dry immediately and allow to air dry.
  6. Metal Hardware Care: Wipe silver-colored metal detailing with a soft, dry cloth to keep it shiny and prevent tarnishing.
