If you're wondering about my products, I test every pattern before putting it for sale. I have kids who also test things. Many bags and wallets have been tossed, ran with me through pouring rain, been used daily, thrown in mud, drawn on with markers, and more. When I say "cork is durable and water resistant, " I truly mean it. I've removed mud and dirt and even marker from straps. Please don't let kids play with permanent markers though! Washable only! . So here I am a month or so ago with my daughter and my current daily bag. It's been through a lot and the applique is still going strong and the inside stayed dry in a downpour. I'm constantly learning new techniques and increasing the strength and durability. . Not big on things like this, but these @slykshades are awesome. I have very sensitive eyes and they've allowed me to see and do more (even stay on my face with the top down going 60 mph+ in a Jeep Wrangler which is no small feat!). They're sustainable too! I'm not paid for anything, just sharing. . So please, shop small. Think of local makers. I'm in the Cincinnati area outside of Oxford, Ohio. Hopefully next year I can do markets but for now, please check out my shop at link in bio or https://www.etsy.com/shop/RosieWayDesign. Thanks! . .
