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.
Really does help to see the process
I have had the privilege to sew at the Klum House Studio so when I bought my Naito, I knew the online class would be, well like sewing with a friend - a really smart stitching friend. Ellee takes you through each step of the bag creation. She approaches each technique with smooth explanations. She gives you skills that are so useful to other stitching projects. When I read a good book, I can’t wait to turn the next page. When sewing along with Ellee’s class, I can’t wait to do the next step. And when it’s finished, I feel so accomplished! You will love the Naito class - and each Naito you make! I can guarantee you will make more than one!
Aw, thank you Anita. That means a lot <3
Ellie's class on making the Naito bag is fabulous! She is a great teacher.
Thanks for sharing, Carolyn! :)
