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.
This bag was fun to make! Ellie is an excellent teacher, online, as well as face to face. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. I have taken two different bag-making classes and plan to take several more. These sturdy, but lightweight bags are not difficult to make. I don't think I could ever make too many!
This makers kit was so fun and easy to complete. The materials are gorgeous and such high quality. I keep coming back to the site to buy hardware, canvas and zippers because I can’t find anything of this quality anywhere else. The range and quality of waxed canvas they offer is unmatched.
The bag itself is so cute and I love that it converts from a tote to a backpack. The canvas is easy and fun to work with. The Belmont is the most professional looking piece I’ve made so far..it’s all about the details :)
What a fun bag! So easy to make and the exciting part is this makes 2 bags. Easy to follow instructions and video. Ellie is so positive in the video. You will feel so proud of yourself after making this bag, And using it.
