canvas is toile. there is toile and then there is crinoline--
< I have 4 toile bags and love them. I find them very easy to care for. I have the horsehair in the flat weave and have no personal experience with the ridged version.>
I'm a new convert to toile, and adore the look. Grace, can you tell me how you care for yours?
TIA!

Amamxr, congrats on your new Toile Kelly! Sounds yummy! Unless your dog has VERY sharp claws, I wouldn't worry about the toile being pulled. However, I've had one of my togo Birkin purses scratched by one of my dogs jumping up on me when coming home. It really didn't do much to it.....I mostly rubbed it out with a little spit.

They are all treated so really, not much to do. When a little passing dirt gets on it, I just use a cloth with a little mild soap and water and dab it off.
I have a Delvaux toile bag and the toile is identical IMO. I managed to spill a latte on that and used soap and water and it did not stain and turned out just fine.
Does your dog usually jump on your bags
It does not catch on things per se. I think any animal with claws who might be clawing the bag could do some harm. But that would be true of anything. Just jumping on it literally shouldn't hurt it unless it is a sellier and then I would be more worried about the structural integrity of the bag.
I knew you'd look at this thread!
I can imagine you with a toile bag Rocker - which style tempts you?
How do you know me so well?
In truth, I'm eyeing that lindy from let trade for my summer bag....
