1. Canvas bag mockup over a woman’s shoulder
It was super fun using this particular canvas bag generator on two occasions. One was for a local library and the second for a store selling gifts.
After creating the designs, we improved the default configurations in just a few clicks. We didn’t even need to change the color of the bag in both instances, just once.
Moreover, we also added the logo in the bottom right corner, which we used as a watermark.

However, it’s white, so it fits perfectly when making a fantastic life-like presentation.
So. Good.
