Waxed canvas is the original water-resistant fabric. It's a densely-woven cotton fabric that has been saturated with wax, giving it an extra layer of protection. Waxed canvas shows scuffs, marks and creases that blend into a weathered patina with age.
Our leather is sourced locally at Oregon Leather, as well as from a tannery in Pennsylvania, and hand-selected for its quality. Our hides are cut into straps with a hydraulic press to ensure precision and consistency. NOTE: Our tan leather might feel stiff at first, but it will soften and darken to a lovely caramel brown with use.
Hardware can take a bag from looking homemade to truly professional—and it's not hard to do! With a few basic tools, you'll be able to set rivets, snaps, magnetic closures and more. All of our hardware is real metal and strong enough to hold up to years of wear and tear.
I took the Portsmith bag making class in Puyallup in March. These tools were used in the class and worked very well.
Denim needle had no issue going through the thick layers, the small black punch tool has a nice heft and went right through, the Boning tool works well for fold and crease at a good price point. The waxed canvas is amazing! The rivet remover tool is very hefty and smart but I have not needed it yet.
All of the tools I’ve purchased from Klum House have been incredibly well-made & have made the process of bagmaking so enjoyable & smooth. This Drive Punch gets used almost daily in my work & stays sharp & functional.
This punch works really great and it's easy to use. I was very frustrated with my rotary punch, it didn't work at all most of the time. The frustration level dropped to zero the first time I tried this little punch. Should have ordered it weeks sooner.
