New in the shop: waxed canvas bags

I received a shipment of waxed canvas at the end of last week, and I spent the weekend designing a couple of bags. I just love working with waxed canvas: it is easy to cut, easy to sew and looks like aged leather when you're done. My first project, the Commuter in Tan.



My second project is the City Tote in charcoal wool and gray waxed canvas. Just the bag I need for the Fall!

I love the look and feel of waxed canvas. Every little mark makes each bag very unique, and even though waxed canvas is soft to the touch, it is a very tough fabric. More waxed canvas in my shop very soon!
