Here is the other bag I mentioned, made by Strawfoot Handmade. I love the whole concept/idea here; independent artist, US-made, hand-sewn on a vintage machine…
Inspired by styles and designs from the early 1900‘s, waxed canvas is the primary fabric used, as well as vegetable-tanned natural leather and solid copper rivets. This creates not only an extremely strong bag, but one that looks slightly weathered and that will age beautifully with time. I work in a small workshop in Santa Cruz, Ca with a vintage sewing machine and hand tools. All bags are designed and sewn by myself on a part-time basis, which means that production is rather limited. Strawfoot Handmade values American-handmade products that will last a lifetime and serve as a functional part of daily use.

Check out his blog here and shop here. This is probably my favorite color combination for the tote bag but is unfortunately sold out, so I’m going to keep my eye on the shop for a while and see what comes up.
