Internal organization

The zip-top opening creates a contained main space with a smaller pocket to discuss. Review where that pocket sits relative to the handle attachments and top closure.

Fabric and finishing

Review body fabric, handle material and finishing as one combination. Fabric weight and reinforcement affect both the shape and the way the tote folds.

  • 12 oz cotton canvas
  • Cotton lining

Reference visuals, not production approval. Features, construction and any performance requirement must be confirmed on your sample.

Outer material

Reference direction12 oz cotton canvas

The 12 oz cotton canvas is a reference direction, not a final fabric booking. Review the actual swatch for shade, weight and the desired print or embroidery finish.

Lining & inner finish

A cotton lining can change the hand feel and body of the tote. Agree color, pocket finish and how the lining is secured at the recessed zipper.

Support & structure

Set handle reinforcement and the desired base shape together. A firmer base is an optional development choice that can affect folding and packing.

FUNCTIONAL DETAILS

Canvas tote design decisions

Use these checks to turn the Zip-Top Canvas Tote reference into a clear development brief.

Canvas tote (Zip-Top Canvas Tote), back design reference

Recessed top zipper

The zipper sits inside the opening, so access and end treatment should be reviewed with the bag filled.

Buyer questionHow wide should the usable opening be?

Handle drop & attachment

Choose hand carry, shoulder carry or both. Review attachment placement with the artwork area and expected contents.

Buyer questionWill the tote be carried over outerwear?

Interior pocket layout

Size the internal pocket around the items it needs to keep separate. Confirm its opening and position before fixing the lining pattern.

Buyer questionIs the pocket for a phone, keys or documents?

Discuss changes before the pattern is finalized. The pictured configuration is not the final specification for your order.

How to review and approve a bag sample

Factory-backed bag manufacturing

Made-to-order bag production through an affiliated China factory

Truedrape supports buyers looking for a custom bag manufacturer and OEM bag supplier through an affiliated textile bag factory in China under common ownership with Forthright.

Forthright coordinates commercial and development work with the affiliated factory, but the trading company and factory are not presented as the same legal entity. ODM bag development and private label bag supplier coordination remain tied to the approved project specification.
