Corduroy Shoulder Bag – Large Slouchy Tote with Drawstring and Front Pockets
This corduroy shoulder bag is a large, soft, unlined tote with two shoulder straps, a drawstring top and open pockets on the front. It measures 43 cm along the base, 32 cm high and 16 cm deep. Easy Life Markets sells it in black, coffee, green, khaki and red.
It is a relaxed, roomy bag that sits under the arm and moulds to whatever you put in it. Corduroy gives it a warm, soft look that suits autumn and winter clothes especially well. Inside there is a zip pocket and a phone pocket, and the drawstring gathers the opening to keep things from falling out.

A soft bag is hard to measure exactly, so allow two or three centimetres either way. The strap length is not stated. In the supplier's photos the bag hangs under the arm with its top at about elbow height.
What Fits Inside
This is a properly big bag. Going by the measurements, it takes a jumper or scarf, a water bottle, a book, a lunch box and the usual purse, phone and keys, with space left over. A4 folders and magazines fit flat.
Laptops. The bag is wide enough for many laptops, but it has no lining, no padding and no fixed shape. If you carry a computer in it, use a padded sleeve.
Small things. In a large soft bag, small items sink. Use the inner zip pocket for keys and cards and the phone pocket for your phone. The front pockets are open, so keep valuables out of them.
A Straight Answer on the Details
- The closure. A drawstring gathers the top. It does not seal the bag the way a zip does. In a crowd, carry the bag under your arm with the opening forward.
- No lining. The supplier lists the bag as unlined. That keeps it light and soft. It also means the inside is the reverse of the corduroy, and the bag has little structure when empty.
- Fibre content. The supplier says corduroy and nothing more. Corduroy is usually cotton or a cotton blend, but we cannot confirm the fibre here.
- Colours. In the supplier's photos, one bag is a tan, caramel brown, one is a darker chocolate brown and one is a light beige. The supplier does not match its photos to the names "Coffee" and "Khaki" in words, so check the photo that appears when you select an option, and ask us if you are unsure.
- Water resistance. None is claimed. Corduroy absorbs water.
- Not stated: Weight, strap length and the load the straps are built for.
About Corduroy
Corduroy is a fabric woven with raised, parallel ridges called wales. The ridges are a cut pile, like velvet arranged in stripes, which gives the cloth its soft feel and the way it changes shade as the light moves across it. It is hard-wearing and has long been used for trousers, jackets and work clothes.
How to Wear It
- Over one shoulder, tucked under the arm, as in the supplier's photos.
- With knitwear, sweatshirts, denim and long coats. The texture suits cooler seasons.
- As a day bag for college, the office, shopping or a short trip.
The browns and khaki are the classic corduroy shades. Black is the most practical. Green and red add colour to a plain coat.
Care
- Shake the bag out and brush it with a soft clothes brush, working along the ridges.
- Use a lint roller for fluff and pet hair. Corduroy picks them up easily.
- Spot clean with a damp cloth and a little mild soap.
- The supplier gives no washing instructions. If you wash the bag, do it by hand in cool water, on its own, because dark corduroy can lose dye.
- Do not wring it. Reshape it and dry it in the air.
- Do not tumble dry, and do not iron directly on the pile. Heat and pressure flatten the ridges.
Who It Suits
Students, commuters and anyone who carries a lot and prefers a soft, casual bag to a stiff one. It also works well as a weekend or overnight bag for a change of clothes, since it packs down to almost nothing when empty. The original listing describes it as a street-style bag, and it suits anyone who likes that look.
