Pacific Madrone – Canvas Tote Bag

$24

Size

18" x 15"

Clear

This sturdy cotton canvas tote features the Pacific Madrone (Arbutus menziesii) — copper-skinned, evergreen, and cool to the touch. Nicknamed the “refrigerator tree” because its bark stays cool even in the summer heat. (Just likes being touched.)

Lightweight but durable, this bag is built to carry what you gather — produce, paperbacks, remedies both ancient and modern. Long handles make it easy to sling over your shoulder and head out beneath peeling bark and shifting light.

Printed in vivid color in the USA and designed with love by humans in California.

This one’s for the grounded healers.

Pacific Madrone. Bark and leaves have been used as medicine. (Still recommends getting vaccinated.)

It’s for those who believe in tradition — and science. Who understand that resilience is layered. That renewal sometimes requires shedding what no longer serves. That staying cool under pressure is its own quiet art.

Because this isn’t just a tote. It’s a reminder that something true and beautiful can be both ancient and evolving. Rooted and adaptive. Protective without losing warmth.

Carry what heals. Keep what matters.

FAQ

What the story of Something True and Beautiful?

We are a husband and wife team that started S.T.A.B. because we wanted to make things better. There’s lots of ways to say what you don’t like, or sharing facts that disprove your opponents’ point of view — but evidence has repeatedly shown that that doesn’t change anyone’s mind. If you really want to make things better, it’s going to be by finding and sharing values and goals that all of us can agree on, and move towards.

So we didn’t want to keep putting more energy, even negative energy, towards the things that were making us angry, sad, or depressed. Instead, we wanted to highlight the ideas, values, and thoughts that make the world worth saving.

That’s what Something True and Beautiful is about — putting positive energy towards the things we want to see more of in the world.

Do you use AI?

All artwork on our products, and all written content on this site, is created by humans, with love, in California.

However, we also recognize that AI is a tool, in some ways like any other such as a hammer or a calculator. That is, it can amplify some abilities while simultaneously dulling or diminishing others. It is also different than many other tools in terms of the breadth of its capabilities the speed at which it evolves and improves.

It is also increasingly unavoidable — for example, we are a small, 2-person operation, and one of the services we use to create our product images sometimes offers AI-generated images of people that we have used on this website, and will likely continue to in the future. While we cannot promise that all content on the site will always be 100% AI-free, we guarantee that all artwork on our products and all written content from Something True and Beautiful is 100% human-created, and always will be.

Do you make clothes for kids?

No. We believe that children should not be used as political props, and should be able to choose what messages and values the clothing that they wear says to the world without pressure or influence from their parents. However, once young adults start to have those strong opinions about what they want to see more of in the world, we encourage them to wear their values with the Something True and Beautiful products that are appropriately sized for young people over the age of 13.

How are your clothes made?

We are currently a very small operation, so we are currently using the 3rd-party print-on-demand provider Printify to print/embroider and drop-ship our products. When selecting providers, we try to select those which are made as much as possible in the USA, and which follow sustainable / environmentally-friendly manufacturing processes. With enough traction and demand, our goal is to get to a point where we can choose our own suppliers so that we can increasingly create sustainable and fair-paying jobs in the USA that follow environmentally sustainable practices.
