this one left the studio so fast i almost forgot to post it.
cut from the cloth of what i’d say is a supremely heavy hemp/linen blend.
magazine pockets on both sides, incorporating original details.
lots of space, but sensibly proportioned.
it’s in the details.
hoping it added some utility to someone’s valentine.
today is day of combing images and disassembling stuff (refer to the previous post).
so i thought i would give you an understanding of what i mean, when i say the sky captain bags started out as a “tent sack”.
after a good washing, seam ripping and ironing you get usable material out of this:
for scale, you can see 1′ squares drawn on the floor, which became:
which became this. but i will say i stared at that canvas for a rediculous amount of time before i could take a blade to it. when you pull apart seams that are older than your parents, you wonder if there’s ghosts tucked in there, waiting to be freed. time to ghostbust the studio…
one day while digging, i discovered this grey tent sack, hidden in an army/navy. it was the perfect condition to begin a new life in a different form.
with only enough material for two nicely sized bags, i knew i wanted to make a pair using the new colors of waxed canvas recently stocked.
but a material with this much character feels comfy and worn, like a hand-me-down does.
each bag has a durable brass 30″ YKK zipper that travels half way down each side, allowing you to stuff it as full as you can manage.
they both just found their way to the webstore, so don’t sleep on these! and have fun out there!
this one has been a damn good time.
a slimmer version of the bethtote, sized around a laptop.
same surplus+salvaged american materials.
removable, protective laptop slip for padded safety.
headed for greg, in paris. ENJOY!
downsized version of the wntr wkndr, a solid-bottom tote.
exterior shoe pocket incorporates existing brass snaps.
more of these on the way, please email me for details.
hope everyone enjoyed their fourth! i know i missed my annual wiffle ball game with the mosholder clan. nothin like eating a bunch of hamburgers and runnin around!
and here’s a teaser for the newest bag in the family, coming to a sustainable store near you!
