‘Waiting for the Wellerman’ Cotton Tote Bag

Once there was a whaling crew off New Zealand's coast, singing to keep time and hope alive as they waited for the Wellerman — the supply ship bringing sugar, tea, and rum. The sea was long, the work was hard, and that promise of a delivery kept them going.

This tote plays on that same waiting — only now it's for the grocery van, not the Wellerman's boat. A wink to the sea shanty that found its way from 19th-century decks to 21st-century playlists, it's for those who love a story, a song, and a touch of salt with their humour.

Made from soft, sturdy cotton, it's perfect for everyday use — whether you're hauling supplies ashore or waiting for your modern-day delivery from Wellerman's.
