Can I Pet Your Dog? Tote
The most direct tote we make.
"CAN I PET YOUR DOG?"
Stitched cleanly across heavy canvas - no icons, no extra noise, just the thing that's true about you. It works because it doesn't try too hard. Pair it with a plain tee and jeans on a quick weekend coffee run and let the embroidery do the talking.

Why you'll wear it
- Minimal on purpose. Two embroidered words read as quiet confidence, not loud merch.
- Pairs with everything. Wear it with the same outfit you'd wear without it - it lifts the look, not replaces it.
- Easiest gift in the shop. If you've ever heard them say "I'm a dog person" - done. Wrap it.

FAQ
Is the embroidery raised or flat?
Slightly raised - you can feel the stitch. That's what tells the eye it's real embroidery, not print.
Will it fade?
The thread is colour-fast and the canvas softens, not fades. Wash inside-out to keep stitches sharp.
Does it fit a laptop?
Yes - up to 15 with room for a notebook and water bottle.
