Waxed Canvas

Waxed canvas is a cotton duck fabric infused with wax for water resistance. The wax coating gives the surface a slightly firm hand, natural sheen, and develops a unique aged patina with use—making every piece one-of-a-kind.

It is highly water-resistant but not fully waterproof. The waxed finish repels rain and moisture, making it excellent for bags, outerwear, and outdoor covers while allowing breathability.

No—avoid traditional washing or dry cleaning. Simply spot clean with cold water and a damp cloth or soft brush. Do not machine wash or heat dry, as heat will remove the wax finish.

Do not machine wash or dry clean. Spot clean only with cold water and a soft brush. Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged heat exposure or ironing.
