True Story Chicken Tote
There's a lot to love about this roomy tote: it's made of sturdy100% cotton canvas and has generous 22" handles with leatherette comfort grips. But most important: there's plenty of space to keep your books and papers (or whatever else you're carrying) safe inside.
This bag looks great, too, with the True Story logo and Pittsburgh artist Seth Clark's "chicken" illustration from Issue #9.
