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.
Love The Slabtown class - it's a more complex build but the class makes it so easy!! Thanks KH!
Ellie does a great job of breaking down each step and has an easy-to-follow style of teaching. Lots of little tips are thrown in that are not obvious to a beginning bag maker. Though the instructions are very well written, this class is super helpful (dare I say indispensable?) for a visual learner like me with no previous leather experience.
