People in Tacoma Don’t Tan They Rust tote – Cotton Canvas Bag

In Tacoma, sunshine is optional — but attitude is guaranteed. This People in Tacoma Don’t Tan, They Rust tote bag captures that South Sound spirit with a playful rusty car graphic and a whole lot of T-Town pride.

Crafted from durable 100% cotton canvas, this tote is built for the real world: grocery runs, farmers market hauls, waterfront strolls, weekends at Point Defiance, or just repping Tacoma wherever your day takes you. The 15" x 16" size gives you plenty of room for everyday essentials, and the 20" self-fabric handles make it easy to carry on your shoulder without digging in — even when it’s filled to the brim.

The spun canvas fibers create a sturdy, textured feel that’s strong enough for repeated use while still softening gracefully over time. Reinforced stitching ensures the handles stay secure, and the flat-corner construction gives the tote a clean, classic silhouette that hangs neatly whether empty or full. The one-sided print keeps the look simple, bold, and unmistakably Tacoma.

Whether you’ve lived in the 253 your whole life, recently joined the Tacoma crew, or just appreciate our city’s gritty charm, this tote brings humor and function together in a bag you’ll reach for daily. It also makes a fantastic gift for Tacoma locals who understand that a little rust just means you’re seasoned.
