HANDCRAFTED IN NORFOLK, VIRGINIA
This was a fun project. You can watch my video for more of the story, but I made one of these bags in the bleached navy (it turned out light purple) one in bleached olive (which turned out a nice yellowish / light olive color). I bleached the fabric and then hand washed it which, although it was quite time-consuming, was really enjoyable. This bag is approximately 1.25" shorter than my normal Tool Bag Purses, but the width and depth are exactly the same. For whatever reason, the canvas only shrank in one direction.

Inspiration Bag
This is the old mason's bag I found in the back of my parents' shed growing up that inspired my line of "Tool-Bag-Style" bags. I loved the way it opened, and I thought with a few added details it would be a really fun bag to carry.

Handsewn Detailing
We hand-stitch the leather handles and the leather straps with a needle and thread to make them extra durable.

Completely Made In House
I even fabricate the metal frames for the bag opening. It started out of necessity but later allowed me to make my bags at any size.

Full-Grain Leather
The strongest part of the leather is just below the hair on the cow. This part of the leather also has the most character. It's definitely my favorite to use.
