The New Tote on Zakken

A few weeks ago I came upon a vintage military duffle bag. Envisioning the possibilities, I grabbed it! I first wanted to create a messenger, but soon realized that I would not have enough fabric to make the messenger I wanted. So the duffle became a tote. The tote was a lot of fun to make. The design is clean and simple, but it incorporates many of the detailing of the original bag. For the handles, I used an upcycled leather belt in a lovely shade of chestnut brown. Very eco-friendly!

The bag is available at my Zakken shop on Etsy. Check it out and let me know what you think.
Take care,
