DKIIL NOIYB Canvas Tote Bags
I started using canvas tote bags for travel after one too many overstuffed backpacks gave me shoulder pain. The DKIIL NOIYB bag I bought for a trip to Portugal became my default day bag – big enough to hold a water bottle, guidebook, jacket, and the random things you accumulate while walking around a city, but not so big that it becomes cumbersome. The zipper closure means I do not worry about pickpockets in crowded markets. At around £15, it is cheap enough that I would not be devastated if it got lost, but well-made enough that mine has survived two years of regular use.
DKIIL NOIYB canvas tote bags feature zipper closures and adjustable shoulder straps. Designed for everyday use – school, shopping, work, and travel.

Using It for Travel
Canvas tote bags work well as a day bag for sightseeing. The DKIIL NOIYB is large enough for a water bottle, guidebook, sunscreen, and a light jacket. The zipper closure matters more than you might think — in crowded tourist areas and on public transport, an open-top bag is an invitation for pickpockets. The adjustable straps let you wear it crossbody, which is more secure and distributes weight better for long walking days.
For flights, a canvas tote fits under the seat in front and keeps essentials within reach. Pack your passport, boarding pass, earphones, and a book where you can grab them without standing up.
Care Instructions
Canvas gets dirty faster than synthetic materials, especially in lighter colours. Machine wash on a cold gentle cycle and air dry flat — do not tumble dry as canvas can shrink. For spot cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap. The polyester lining wipes clean easily.
Over time, canvas softens and develops character. A bag that looks stiff and boxy when new will break in after a few uses to feel more natural on your shoulder.
Verdict
The DKIIL NOIYB is a practical canvas tote at a fair price. The zipper closure and adjustable straps make it more useful for travel than basic open-top totes. It will not replace a proper backpack for heavy loads, but for day trips and city exploring it carries what you need without bulk.
