Ask about this project

Craft & Heritage

Traditional techniques.
Honest materials.
Timeless methods.

Attention to Detail

The little things
make the whole.

Made by Hand

Built in small batches
with purpose.

Built to Last

Workwear that wears in,
not out.

The story

The Field Tote started as a place to put the things that never seem to have a place.

Patterns, tools, notebooks, fabric scraps, coffee, errands. The bag needed to handle all of it without becoming precious.

The prototype is about proportion: enough structure to stand up, enough softness to get out of the way.
