“My Maywood Totepack is my favorite thing I’ve ever made. I use it every day and get compliments all the time. The videos are super clear and easy to follow.”
“Klum House is the BEST! I’ve taken my fair share of classes over the years, and Ellie is one of the best teachers I’ve encountered. She knows how to break it all down. Highly recommend!”
“Made a Maywood. Love my Maywood. Hooked on bag making. Klum House rocks!”
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.
United StatesI got the maker kit and started reading the pattern but what's better than sewing along with Ellie?!?! Seriously, watched the class gave me confidence to tackle this bag and the person I gift it to, loved it!
United StatesGreat kit and materials! I purchased the video class which was perfect: the right balance of how and why, clear instructions. Klum House are also extremely supportive and responsive. There was a minor issue with my order-one of my tool pieces was missing, but within 2 hours of sending my email they had the item already posted. Highly recommend-I have already ordered 2 more kits!
United StatesHi! I have appreciated Anna's help with my questions and orders. I have started my Maywood but am waiting for the correct tools to attach the magnetic snap rivet. They are supposed to arrive today!! Yay! Other than that, I find the paper patterns and Ellie's videos terrific! Thank you!
USExceeded my expectations. It was my very first project so I was nervous, but the instructions are super clear and they have great links of resources and materials. Total success.
So glad to hear it, Liz! Thanks for your feedback, it means a lot!
USThis was my first time working with rivets, straps and waxed canvas. The online class absolutely set me up to successfully make a beautiful bag that I now use everyday �
USThis is a fun and easy to follow class!
