Picked up this canvas drawstring bag (TEMBEA – TORSO design) from a thrift market. The fabric feels really solid and high quality, and everything is intact.

Only issue: I can’t seem to close it properly.

Whenever I pull the strings to tighten the top, the bottom part just gets pulled in and the whole bag kind of folds in half instead of closing cleanly. Feels like I’m doing something wrong with the mechanism.

Is there a specific way these drawstring backpacks are supposed to be used? Or is something threaded incorrectly?

Any help would be useful.
