Using the special coated canvas that used for high-class bag lavishly
We adapt this fabric because it’s water-resistant, doesn’t discolor and surface hardness is good. It double-layer laminated polyurethane film on based cotton canvas fabric.

This classy style is good match to both formal and casual outfits.
