I Don’t Want to Be Here – Canvas Musette Bag (Handmade Author Merch)

This is the bag for readers who would rather be anywhere else as long as they have the dark, the book, and the man who stays in it. Designed by me (the author) as part of my new merch line, this natural canvas musette bag features original bookish artwork on the front.

The design shows a tattooed, masked figure holding a book, paired with the bold text: “I don’t want to be here. I want the dark, the book, and the man who stays in it.” It’s pure dark-romance energy, moody, a little dramatic, and very honest about where a lot of us would rather be. The natural canvas background makes the black print and illustration stand out cleanly.

What’s included

• One natural unbleached cotton canvas musette bag
• Adjustable black shoulder strap (approx. 150 cm)
• Poppa-style closure
• Handmade by the author
• 100% AI-free
• Author Exclusive Artwork!

Details that matter The bag is made from durable 8oz 100% natural unbleached cotton canvas. Approximate dimensions are 40 cm (W) × 30 cm (H), giving you a practical crossbody size that holds a paperback (or two), a phone, wallet, and everyday essentials without feeling oversized. The long adjustable strap lets you wear it comfortably across the body. Because it’s natural canvas, it has a soft, classic feel that softens further with use.

Every bag is handmade with the design applied by me, 100% AI-free. This is real author merch created for readers, not a generic stock item. The simple musette shape keeps the focus on the design while still being genuinely useful for daily carry.

Perfect for

• Dark romance and romantasy readers
• Anyone who wants the book, the dark, and the man who stays in it
• Bookish gift ideas
• Everyday crossbody use
• Fans who want merch that matches the mood of the books they actually read

Whether you’re heading out with your current read or just using it as your daily bag, it quietly announces that you’d rather be lost in a story (and a certain kind of man) than wherever you actually are. It arrives ready to use or gift.

Limited quantities as this is a handmade line. Grab yours before they sell out—your next dark reading session just got a matching bag.
