Made from 18oz light wash olive drab and 21oz natural canvas handles. Custom stitching on pockets. One small interior pocket with a snap closure and one large interior pocket with a leather strap to stud closure.

-Special Edition-

I’ve made a few different models of this bag over the last couple months and people have requested more. It’s a blend between the Simple Tote, Commuter, and Coal Tote.

This one is made from 21oz natural canvas for the body with an 18oz special royal blue canvas for the reinforced bottom.

The corners of the bag are reinforced with solid brass rivets on each side. This allows for more durability and structure.

Solid brass closure at the top of the bag to keep contents secure as well as two exterior pockets with brass snaps.

Shoulder strap is adjustable/removable and is made from 10oz veg tanned leather.

Excited to see how this blue ages.

DM for details or to claim this bag for yourself.

I will be doing a small run of bags in this royal blue color.

Featured here is a special edition Book Tote in 18oz royal blue canvas with 21oz natural canvas handles and two exterior natural canvas pockets. Solid brass snap closures on the pockets.

This bag is available for purchase. DM for purchase.

If you’d like something different, I have enough to make a run of around 15-20 items depending on requests. Feel free to reach out with any orders (this color is not available online) or any questions.

Once this color is gone it likely won’t be available until next summer so grab it while you can.
