Water-Repellent Tote Bag — 15L, Coated Fabric, 5 Colourways
The SL-C876 is a shoulder tote measuring 35 cm wide, 34 cm tall, and 15 cm deep, holding approximately 15 litres and weighing 400 grams empty. The body is PVC-coated fabric finished with a brushed vertical texture, and the interior is lined with the same coated material so the inside wipes clean rather than absorbing what is spilled in it.
The profile tapers toward the base — 35 cm across the opening narrowing at the bottom — which is what allows the bag to stand upright when set down rather than slumping. Twin webbing handles are set at a drop that clears a shoulder over outerwear, and each handle terminates in an X-box bar-tack at the body panel.
Five stock colourways are produced: blue, pink, beige-grey, purple, and green. The textured surface finish carries colour with visible tonal variation rather than reading as flat vinyl, which is the reason this fabric is specified over a plain coated PVC.

Water Protection: What This Bag Does and Does Not Do
The surface is water-repellent. Rain beads and runs off rather than soaking in, spilled coffee wipes away, and a wet umbrella or a damp gym kit can go inside without the bag darkening or staining. The coated lining means the interior takes the same treatment — a leaked water bottle is wiped out rather than absorbed into a fabric lining.
The bag is not sealed. It is sewn rather than welded, and the top is open. Sustained rain will reach the contents through the opening, and the bag is not immersion rated. We state this plainly because we also manufacture fully welded, IPX-rated waterproof bags, and the difference matters when a buyer is choosing between the two.
For a daily commuter tote this specification is the right one. A welded, sealed bag is heavier, stiffer, and has a closure system that gets in the way of a bag opened twenty times a day. Water-repellent coated fabric handles the exposure a tote actually sees — rain between a car and a door, a bag set on wet ground, a spill inside — without any of that cost.
Construction
X-Box Bar-Tacked Handles
Each handle anchor is reinforced with a box-and-cross stitch, the pattern used where webbing must resist pull-out under repeated load. On a tote, the handle joint is the first thing to fail and the only failure that makes the bag unusable.
Coated Wipe-Clean Lining
The interior carries the same coated surface as the exterior. A fabric-lined tote absorbs anything spilled in it; this one is wiped out.
Tapered Body Profile
Narrower at the base than the opening, which keeps the bag standing when set down and stops a part-filled tote collapsing into a flat parcel.
Webbing Handles
Flat webbing rather than rolled or piped handles — it does not dig into a shoulder under a loaded bag and does not crack at the fold over time.
Textured Surface Finish
A brushed vertical texture that disguises the light surface marking a plain coated finish shows immediately, which extends how long the bag looks new.
Sewn Production
Built on our sewing line rather than the welding line. Both are established in-house disciplines here, and the construction is chosen to suit the product rather than the equipment.

Why It Fits
|
|
Daily Commuting
|
15L takes a 13-inch laptop in a sleeve, a lunch container, a water bottle, and a folded layer.
|
|
Office & Work
|
Stands upright beside a desk; wipe-clean lining handles the coffee that eventually spills.
|
|
Gym & Studio
|
Damp kit goes inside without soaking into a lining.
|
|
Shopping & Errands
|
Open top loads quickly; the tapered base keeps it standing in a car footwell.
|
|
Travel Personal Item
|
Fits under an airline seat and folds flat in a case when not in use.
|
|
Beach & Poolside
|
Sand and water wipe off the coated surface rather than working into a weave.
|
|
Retail & Fashion Programmes
|
Five colourways and a large flat panel for branding, at a MOQ that suits seasonal ranges.
|
|
Corporate Gifting
|
A bag recipients use daily rather than store; embossing suits understated brand marks.
|
Quality Inspection Standards
Inspection runs at three stages — IQC on incoming materials, IPQC during cutting and sewing, and OQC before the container is sealed. A pre-production sample is approved before mass production begins, and a final inspection is carried out before every shipment. SGS or QIMA third-party inspection is available on request.
On a tote, the handle anchor is the component that decides service life. Everything else can wear and the bag stays usable; a handle that pulls out ends the product. That is why the anchor is bar-tacked rather than straight-stitched, and why pull-out testing is carried out on every batch rather than at development only.
|
Test
|
What It Establishes
|
|
Bar-Tack Pull-Out Test
|
Handle anchor strength at and beyond rated load — the failure that ends the product.
|
|
Loaded Carry Cycle Test
|
Handle, seam, and body integrity under repeated loaded lifting.
|
|
Seam Strength Test
|
Stitch integrity at body seams and base under load.
|
|
Spray Rating Test
|
Water-repellent performance of the coated surface, and retention after use.
|
|
Surface Abrasion Test
|
Coating durability against the rubbing a daily-carry bag receives.
|
|
Flex & Crease Test
|
Coating integrity at fold lines, where coated fabrics crack first.
|
|
Colour Fastness & Rub Test
|
That colour does not transfer onto clothing — the most common complaint on coloured coated bags.
|
|
Cross-Colour Consistency
|
Shade consistency between production batches across all five colourways.
|
Product Highlights
Wipe-Clean Inside and Out
Coated body and coated lining. A spilled bottle is wiped out rather than absorbed, which is the difference between a bag that lasts a season and one that lasts years.
Bar-Tacked Handle Anchors
X-box reinforcement at every handle joint, batch-tested for pull-out. The one failure that makes a tote unusable.
Stands Up Loaded
The tapered profile keeps the bag upright beside a desk, in a footwell, or on a floor — it does not slump and spill its contents.
400 g Empty
Light enough that the 15 litres is available for contents rather than being spent on the bag.
Texture That Hides Marks
The brushed finish disguises the light surface marking that shows immediately on flat coated fabric.
Five Colourways in Stock
A complete retail range without per-colour tooling, with Pantone matching for brand programmes.
Large Uninterrupted Branding Panel
No external pockets or hardware breaking up the front face — silkscreen, embossing, or a metal plate all sit cleanly.
Folds Flat
Packs down for shipping, retail storage, and travel, which lowers freight cost per unit against a structured bag.
Printing & Logo Options
|
Method
|
Best Suited To
|
|
Silkscreen Printing
|
Single or two-colour logos on the body panel; the most economical at volume.
|
|
Embossing
|
A tonal, debossed mark that suits the textured coated surface — the strongest option for a fashion-led range.
|
|
Heat Transfer
|
Full-colour artwork and gradients, strongest on the lighter colourways.
|
|
Woven Label
|
Internal or external tab branding for retail programmes.
|
|
Metal Plate
|
A hardware mark for premium positioning; requires a reinforced mounting panel specified at development.
|
The front panel is large, flat, and uninterrupted, which makes this an easy bag to brand. For fashion and gifting programmes, embossing on the textured surface generally outperforms print — it reads as considered rather than applied.
OEM / ODM & Wholesale
The three questions buyers ask first are minimum order quantity, price, and whether logo customisation is possible. For this product: MOQ is 300 pieces, logo customisation is available by silkscreen, embossing, heat transfer, woven label, or metal plate, and pricing depends on quantity, colour mix, and any structural changes — send us your numbers and we will quote against them rather than against a list.
Beyond logo and colourway work we develop from the ground up: dimensional changes, a zip or magnetic top closure, internal slip and zip pockets, a removable shoulder strap, metal base studs, a padded laptop sleeve, and alternative coated fabrics and surface textures.
It is worth noting that our capability is not limited to high-frequency welding. Buyers who know us for welded waterproof gear sometimes assume that is all we run — sewn construction is an equally established in-house discipline, and this product is built entirely on the sewing line. If your range needs both a sealed technical bag and a sewn lifestyle bag, both come from the same factory on the same schedule with matched branding.
Production runs in Dongguan, China and in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. For buyers where origin affects duty treatment, the Vietnam facility is a live option on this platform rather than a future plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it waterproof or water-resistant?
Water-repellent. Rain runs off the surface, spills wipe away, and the coated lining does not absorb. It is not sealed — the top is open and the construction is sewn — so sustained rain will reach the contents. For a sealed bag, see our welded tote range.
Will rain get in through the open top?
In sustained rain, yes. The fabric protects the contents from the sides and base; the opening is the exposure. For buyers who need the top closed, a zip or magnetic closure is a straightforward ODM addition on this platform.
Does the colour rub off onto clothing?
Not on our specification — colour transfer is one of the most common complaints on coloured coated bags, which is why rub fastness is a batch test here rather than a development-only check. If you have had this problem with a previous supplier, it is worth asking specifically what they test and how often.
Will the handles pull out?
The anchors are X-box bar-tacked and pull-out tested on every batch. Handle failure is the one thing that makes a tote unusable, so it is the component we test hardest.
Does a 13-inch laptop fit?
Yes, at 35 × 34 cm. The bag is unpadded, so use a sleeve — a coated tote protects against water, not against impact.
Does it stand up on its own?
Yes. The tapered profile is what does it — the bag stays upright beside a desk or in a car footwell loaded or part-loaded, rather than slumping over.
How do I clean it?
Wipe inside and out with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not machine wash — it stresses the seams and the coating. Avoid solvents and alcohol-based cleaners, which attack the coating.
Will the coating crack?
Coated fabrics crack at fold lines over time, which is why flex and crease testing is part of our batch inspection. Storing the bag folded flat for long periods is the thing to avoid; store it upright or lightly stuffed.
Can you add a closure, pockets, or a shoulder strap?
Yes — zip or magnetic closure, internal slip and zip pockets, a removable shoulder strap, base studs, and a padded laptop sleeve are all standard ODM options at the same MOQ.
What is the minimum order quantity, and can you print our logo?
300 pieces, and yes — silkscreen, embossing, heat transfer, woven label, or metal plate. Custom sizes, Pantone colours, and structural changes are all available at the same MOQ, from either our China or Vietnam facility.
