Purchased at Beams. [No Beams tag attached.] It's a thick fabric with woven cords. The inside is canvas. MADE IN INDIA There are no noticeable stains or damage. There is some pilling on the handles. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about minor details as this is a used item. The bottom is square, and it becomes a cube shape when expanded, allowing for a lot of storage. It will be folded for shipping.
